Tuna - Bluefin Akami (Saku Cut)

Bluefin tuna is often called the Rolls Royce of seafood. Compared to its cousins, yellowfin and bigeye, bluefin is revered for its large size, deep red flesh, and higher fat content. Our premium, sashimi-grade bluefin is ranched using sustainable practices and is the same tuna we supply to white-tablecloth restaurants and sushi bars. It is incredibly fresh and cut fresh to order and offers a remarkable flavor, tender texture, and soft mouthfeel. 

In the sushi world, "akami" is the red meat found on the bluefin loin (versus the fattier portions, otoro and chutoro). "Saku" is the Japanese term to describe a uniformly cut block of skinless, boneless, high-quality seafood. This chef-loved shape makes working in the kitchen easy. At home, slice for sashimi plates, sushi, or other raw platings like crudo. Saku cuts may also be lightly pan seared and sliced--serve with ponzu, on with rice or over salad greens.
