This stunning block of bluefin tuna askami is Japan grade sashimi, and comes in a Saku (Japanese term for block) so that it is the perfect shape to cut for sushi. Bluefin tuna akami is next to the dorsal fin, which gives this part of the fish an intense red colour, due to it's lower levels of fat than other parts of the fish.
Akami is the perfect cut of fish served raw, as sushi, ceviche or tartar, but is also fabulous barbecued and grilled if you prefer cooked fish.
Bluefin is the largest of the tunas, and can reach up to 680kg. Bluefin tuna is a prized fish (more so than Yellowfin tuna), known for it’s melt-in-the-mouth texture and stunning deep-red colour. Bluefin tuna also has the fattiest flesh of all the tuna varieties, with large flakes and a lot of flavour, making it the perfect option for sashimi and sushi dishes.
The bluefin tuna is frozen down to -60 degrees at sea, and is kept at -60 degrees here at Fine Food Specialist. This process then allows us to maintain the fish’s sashimi grade title, as any parasites within the flesh will be neutralised at this cold temperature. Please note, these fish are very fatty and will not last in their best condition in a regular home freezer for longer than 2-3 weeks, so please enjoy as soon as possible.
The ‘wild-caught farm-raised’ bluefin tuna are harvested using an ancient method called Almadraba. The large bluefin tuna are caught in the nets, as they migrate from the Atlantic into the warmer Mediterranean in the Spring months of April and May, where the fish come to spawn. The fish caught are 10-12 years old when they are at full-size, and have spawned for multiple seasons. Once they have been caught, they are taken to marine pens where they are monitored for the perfect fat content and size.
This method is traceable and sustainable, and all fish are caught to order, to allow a speedy freeze at sea, and maximum freshness for the customer.
