Description
 
We carry frozen, boneless sushi/sashimi grade toro (bluefin belly meat), which is one of the most prized types of sushi in the world. Due to the high fat content, the fish has a white to pinkish color. This frozen toro originates from tuna farms off the coast of Croatia in the Adriatic Sea. Pieces are .9 to 1.2.
Blue fin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) are found all over the world, usually in deeper offshore waters. They can get as long as six feet and 300 pounds but the average weigh is 60 to 100 pounds. We do not recommed that you cook Blue fin toro since it has a much higher fat content, which produces a strong fish taste and odor when cooked.

Frozen toro preparation instructions:
For the product to maintain its highest quality, it is important that the instructions for the preparation and handling of the frozen tuna are strictly followed.

Materials:
Bowl, Salt, Plastic Food Wrap, Teaspoon, Thermometer, Cheesecloth or thin sponge (do not substitute with soft papers such as paper towels or napkins as they may stick to the product).

Its just pure eating pleasure! Toro, Toro! May 1, 2008
Reviewer: Jon Wiener from Woodstock, GA United States  
Wow. It came just as stated, a super-frozen stick of toro! It was the perfect shape to just slice pieces of fish for Nigiri. Jeff even sent the perfect size piece of cheesecloth in the box. This made the whole party! Fantastic quality! This is my 5th CatalinaOP order!! By the way, shipping is way less now see for yourself, well worth it!

Absolutely incredible!!!! April 10, 2008
Reviewer: STEVEN HOFFMAN from Chatsworth, CA United States  
Jeff steered me towards this purchase and I have NEVER had better sashimi.  Questioning preparation I took it to my local sushi bar and they were amazed at the quality.  After offering them a taste they prepared the entire loin for me at no charge even though I offered to pay. While the Ahi and Yellowtail got great reviews, the Toro was the talk of the evening.  HIghly recommend this at any price.  It would have cost 200.00+ to order this volume in a sushi bar. I will be ordering again soon. Thanks again.
