Wild Bluefin Toro, Sashimi Grade Tuna Belly

Toro is the term for the fatty part of the tuna, found in the belly portion of the fish. Especially prized by sushi chefs and aficionados, toro presents a pink to white color with a rich, buttery taste. Due to its high fat content and distinctive flavor, toro is best enjoyed raw. Our sashimi-grade bluefin toro is hand-cut in-house from whole ranched Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis).

Each bluefin toro portion is approximately 5 oz each and Proton Frozen to preserve its color and texture with out any additives. Note that certain species, like tuna, naturally turn brown once exposed to air or if stored in a traditional freezer. Proton Freezing technology slows this process but does not prevent it. For best results, we recommend placing proton frozen tuna in the coldest part of your freezer and storing for no more than 5-7 days. To defrost, place the packaged frozen portion in cold water for 15 to 30 minutes, until thawed. Remove from packaging, then pat dry, and enjoy. Alternatively, remove frozen fish from packaging, wrap with a paper towel and place in the refrigerator to defrost overnight.

What’s in a Name?

Hamachi is also referred to as buri (young yellowtail), Japanese yellowtail, or Japanese amberjack. The term amberjack is a generic term used for several different species in the Jack family, including the Japanese yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata), the Pacific California yellowtail (Seriola lalandi) and longfin yellowtail or Kampachi (Seriola rivoliana), and the Western Atlantic’s Greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili). The latter has the unfortunate reputation of being inedible. It is not to be confused with the highly regarded Japanese species!

Toro is the term for the fatty part of the tuna, found in the belly portion of the fish. Especially prized by sushi chefs and sushi aficionados, toro presents pink to white in color with a rich, buttery taste. Because of its high fat content and distinctive flavor, toro is always best enjoyed raw.
