Description
 

Our fresh wild bluefin tuna sashimi loins are frequently used to make the highest quality maguro sushi in sushi bars. We are currently carrying a limited supply of bluefin and we expect to be in short supply this season. The wild blue fin is more seasonal than farmed. If you plan of searing/cooking tuna, we suggest that you order yellow fin tuna instead of the blue fin tuna. Blue fin has a much higher fat content, which produces a strong fish taste and aroma when cooked.

Blue fin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) are found all over the world, usually in deeper offshore waters. They can get as large as 6 feet and 300 pounds but they average 60 to 100 pounds.

Our fresh and live seafood products are as fresh as you can get because we purchase directly from reputable fishermen in California and Baja California who take great pride in providing the highest quality seafood. The seafood is caught and immediately iced or brought to our live tanks until you order. We package it with care, keep it cold in insulated boxes and ship it overnight with FedEx so that it reaches your door fresher than the vast majority of most supermarkets and restaurants.

Currently, we only offer Pacific Bluefin Tuna. While overfishing of Mediterranean Bluefin has greatly threatened the species, Pacific Bluefin Stocks are well managed and are not at risk for overfishing. Please read this material on Pacific Bluefin to gain a better idea of why we have decided to continue to offer Bluefin Tuna:

Great! January 13, 2012
Reviewer: Michael from Arizona  
Don't know what KS is talking about, just got this this month and it was FANTASTIC! Got 3 lbs and there was minimal bloodline to take off and the taste is AMAZING. This has the same sort of feel as Toro but isn't quite as tender. Still, better than yellowfin with great flavor and smooth texture, was a big hit!

Update: Jan 13 2012 - They won't let me write another review on my account but I've just gotten another pound of this and MAN is it good. Hardly any bloodline on the piece I got and just a solid piece of bluefin tuna. Tastes great, will definitely get more in the future.

disappointed.... October 10, 2011
Reviewer: KS from Virginia  
I ordered 2 lbs bluefin tuna top loin. There was a lot of blood lines running all over the half of 2 lbs tuna.

I broke it into little pieces with spoon. (easy to take out bloodline and still can be used for tuna roll )

huge disappointed....I like their Ikura and Uni.

AWESOME August 5, 2010
Reviewer: TL from Woodmere, NY United States  
Received a fresh shipment yesterday afternoon and had some for dinner.  BEST testing tuna I've had in a long time.  It was so fresh it was glistening.  The texture was just right tenderness.  Taste was even better, even had a slight sweet after taste.
I usually don't eat much tuna sashimi, but I will continue to order this whenever it's available!
