Blue Fin Tuna Saku Block AAA

Blue Fin Tuna Saku Block AAA represents the highest sashimi-grade (Grade #1) center-cut loin, optimized for sushi, sashimi, or tataki. These 10-14 oz, skinless/boneless rectangular blocks are typically deep red (Akami), firm-textured, and flash-frozen to maintain freshness, often sourced from Indonesia.

• Quality: AAA signifies the highest, most consistent color and texture, often deemed “sashimi-grade”.
• Cut: Known as Saku (Japanese for “block”), these are trimmed of skin and bloodlines for maximum yield.
• Applications: Ideal for creating perfectly uniform sashimi slices, poke cubes, or searing for tataki.
• Appearance: Deep red (Akami) lean meat from the back and sides, or sometimes pale pink for high-fat belly cuts (O-toro).
• Preparation: Best when defrosted slowly in the refrigerator, allowing the tuna to transition from a frozen pink to a bright red.
