Net caught Bluefin Tuna - 1 lb

TASTE & FLAVOR: This is Net caught Bluefin tuna so the meat will not be as dark in color as line caught tuna, but it is still delicious and the fattiest of any tuna. A higher fat content in bluefin tuna is equated with a higher-quality product. The flesh is very firm and has a distinctive flavor. Its high fat content makes it especially great for sushi and sashimi.

PREPARATION: Our bluefin tuna is fresh. We suggest eating it as sushi, sashimi, poke or quickly seared on the grill. Before you start to prepare make sure to pat dry, and remove the bloodline and skin with a sharp knife. If your eating raw we recommend lightly shaving 1mm of the air exposed meat for freshest quality. Please be aware of the risks you assume by eating raw or undercooked seafood
