About This Cut - O-toro is the highest quality part of the bluefin belly and most sought after by fatty tuna lovers. Bluefin tuna will yield a very small amount of o-toro. It has extreme marbling and flavor - truly a unique culinary experience. Found next to kama-toro (very fatty cut closest to the collar) and between regular toro (tuna belly). Fishermen bring their catches of Bluefin Tuna to Red’s Best. Red’s Best unloads Bluefin Tuna from fishing boats.
Yield - 1 portion is 3-4 oz. Each saku block yields enough slices to make up to 10 pieces of nigiri or 16 pieces of maki (two uncut maki rolls).
