Discover the Exceptional Taste of Bluefin Tuna
Experience the depth and elegance of Bluefin Tuna, often called the “wagyu of the sea.”
While prized for its rich, buttery flavor in fatty cuts, the lean red akami we offer delivers a more delicate, clean taste with a firm, meaty texture. Enjoy it raw to appreciate its natural texture or lightly seared for a subtle, savory contrast that highlights its freshness and quality.

Serving Suggestions
Sashimi & Nigiri
-
Enjoy raw to appreciate the natural richness.
-
Pair with soy sauce, wasabi, or a simple citrus touch to enhance umami.
- For the best taste, just give it a quick dip in about 3% saltwater and gently pat it dry with a paper towel before enjoying.
Lightly Seared (Tataki)
-
Coat the edges of a tuna block with a mix of black and white sesame seeds, cracked black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt.
-
Heat a cast-iron skillet with a splash of sesame oil. Sear each side for 30–45 seconds.
-
Slice thinly and serve over a ponzu sauce reduction. Garnish with microgreens or sliced scallions.
Bluefin Tartare with Avocado
-
Dice the tuna into small cubes. Toss gently with toasted sesame oil, a splash of lime juice, and finely minced chives.
-
Prepare a base of diced avocado mixed with a touch of wasabi.
-
Layer the tuna on top and serve with fried wonton chips or chilled cucumber rounds for a crunchy texture.
Poke-Style Preparation
Bluefin has a slightly mineral, complex taste. Keep marinades light to let the fish shine.
Marinade:
-
2 parts high-quality soy sauce
-
1 part toasted sesame oil
-
Splash of rice vinegar
-
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
Method:
-
Gently fold 1/2-inch cubes of tuna into the marinade.
-
Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to allow flavor to infuse without “cooking” the fish.
I would advise everyone to not buy this tuna.
It is loaded with red food dye that leaks out all over everything it comes into contact with.
Buyer beware!
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your concern.
We would like to clarify that we do not use any food coloring or dyes in Bluefin Tuna. The red or pink liquid that may appear during thawing is a natural mixture of water and myoglobin, a protein found in fish muscle. Tuna naturally has darker, redder flesh than many other fish, so it is normal for some reddish liquid to be released during the thawing process.
We appreciate your comments and will continue working to provide high-quality products and clear information to our customers.
