Tuna - Premium AAA Yellowfin Saku (Frozen)

In the sushi world, "saku" is the Japanese term for a uniformly cut block of skinless, boneless sashimi-quality seafood. This chef-loved shape makes easy work of sashimi and sushi—simply slice and serve! Not only are saku portions ideal for sashimi, sushi, and other raw presentations like crudo, but they can also be pan-seared and sliced for a salad or entrée.

Yellowfin offers a mild flavor and consistently good, firm texture. Commonly used by sushi chefs, this premium AAA grade yellowfin is treated with tasteless smoke to promote color retention, individually super frozen, and vacuum packed. It's a great item for stockpiling in your freezer! If you are looking for fresh Ahi, please click HERE.

Defrosting and Preparation Tip: As you may wish to only eat 4-6 oz at a time, this 12 oz saku can be portioned in a mostly frozen state with no adverse effect on its quality. Let thaw just barely - enough to rock a very sharp knife through the fish - and portion what you want. Continue to defrost the portion you plan to eat. Whatever portion(s) you don't plan to eat, rewrap tightly in several layers of plastic wrap and store in the coldest part of your freezer.
