Sushi - Bluefin Tuna Toro 3-4oz

About This Cut - Toro is found on the belly side of the fish and is prized for its well marbled, high fat content. The belly of a bluefin tuna is what differentiates itself from our other local tuna species. That fat content, which is soft and buttery, is what allows for a unique, culinary experience - different than akami (lean loin meat). Our toro is cut from the highest quality Massachusetts-landed bluefin. 

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).

Health Benefits - Bluefin tuna is a very good source of protein, thiamin, selenium, vitamin B6, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Did You Know - This wild-caught bluefin tuna is landed in Massachusetts. Bluefin is the largest of our local tuna species, and the fattiest. U.S. wild-caught western Atlantic bluefin tuna is a smart seafood choice because it is sustainably managed under a conservation and management plan that allows limited harvest by U.S. fishermen.

Peak Freshness - Retain under refrigeration and consume raw within 2 days. This elite restaurant quality may also be preserved in a freezer for up to 7 days.
