Sashimi Grade Ahi Tuna

Sushi & Sashimi Grade Ahi Tuna - Never CO Treated

Line caught in the Pacific, then immediately frozen and kept at temperatures below -40 Fahrenheit, this is tuna that cannot be found at your local grocery store.

Most of the ahi tuna consumed in the United States is treated with carbon monoxide or filtered smoke to preserve the red color of fresh tuna; the issue with this practice is that it can mask lesser-quality tuna. Our sashimi-grade tuna is never treated with CO or smoke. Instead, it is super-frozen to ensure that the quality of the tuna is completely preserved, rather than just the color.

Line-caught Pacific bigeye tuna (Ahi) represent a sustainable, healthy, and delicious choice. Once landed on the boat, the tuna is immediately frozen so that its eating characteristics are instantly preserved (handling known as “chijimi”). The boat captain must certify that the catch is dolphin-safe. It is packaged in Japan and shipped superfrozen to the US. 

Upon thawing your tuna, you'll immediately be able to tell the difference in quality. Your tuna will take on a natural red color, different from the artificial bright red coloration found in carbon monoxide treated tuna. The superior quality of our bigeye tuna makes it perfect for use in sushi or sashimi dishes. Or pan-sear, grill or broil to your likeness!

Order now and you will receive ten cuts of superfrozen bigeye tuna (Ahi) (each vacuum packed; total shipment 2.5+ lb net weight). These will be packed with extra dry ice to preserve the superfrozen state to your door. We recommend that you store it in the coldest part of your freezer and consume it within 30 days to fully enjoy its natural color.
