Frozen Sashimi Grade Bluefin Tuna Belly Loins (Toro) 0.7lbs

We carry frozen, boneless sushi/sashimi grade toro (bluefin belly meat), which is one of the most prized types of sushi in the world. Due to the high fat content, the fish has a white to pinkish color. This frozen toro originates from tuna farms off the coast of Australia. Blue fin tuna are found all over the world, usually in deeper offshore waters. They can get as long as six feet and 300 pounds but the average weigh is 60 to 100 pounds. We do not recommed that you cook Blue fin toro since it has a much higher fat content, which produces a strong fish taste and odor when cooked.
