Great product, great service

Arrived frozen solid and on time as promised. First dish was tuna poke - cubed tuna marinated in tamari, ginger, lemon juice, dashi and garnished with Fresno peppers, cilantro, and minced garlic - delicious!

New Sushi Grade Tuna

The tuna was fresh and sushi grade as advertised. Made for a nice meal. I was unable to use the Poke seasoning as I can not have iodine and it contains seaweed. My only recommendation is to split this into 2 packages as other reviews have suggested. It was too much to use at one time but you had no choice so as not to have to throw it away.

Awesome Tuna Saku

Love this sliced with soy sauce. Delicious tuna block!

Best tuna I've ever cooked

Tuna was extremely fresh and flavorful, I've seared tuna many times in the past but this turned out better than any supermarket fish I've ever bought.

What is Ahi Tuna?

Ahi tuna, otherwise known as yellowfin tuna, is one of the most common varieties of tuna. While this fish is very similar to bluefin tuna in quality, the yellowfin tuna price is easier on the pocket. The color of yellowfin tuna meat can range from pink to deep red, depending on the size of the fish. Yellowfin tuna can range from three to over 200 pounds with the larger fish being more preferred for its higher fat content and deeper red color. Yellowfin tuna price per pound typically ranges from $17 to $30.

So What is Saku Tuna?

Yellowfin tuna is mostly sold as blocks or tuna saku loins, which is why this fish is also called saku tuna. Saku means “block” in Japanese. The uniform shape makes it easy to cut the fish for preparing sushi or a salad. Tuna saku loins are skinless, boneless, and have a firm texture and a mild flavor, which make them very versatile and suitable for different preparations.

Ahi Tuna Nutrition

Nutrition-wise, yellowfin tuna is rich in healthy protein, heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B6 and B12, selenium, phosphorus, niacin, and magnesium. If you are wondering about ahi tuna calories and how the fish fits into a balanced diet, one serving of tuna saku loin (8 oz) contains 240 calories. Like all big fishes, yellowfin tuna may contain mercury and should be eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Infants, young children, and pregnant women may choose to avoid having ahi tuna because of its high mercury content.

How to Cook Yellowfin Tuna

If the thought of cooking yellowfin tuna at home sends you into panic mode, let us help you! The best way to ensure a tasty tuna dish is by buying high-quality, sushi-grade ahi tuna from a trusted seller like Global Seafoods. Our imported premium-grade fish will taste much better than the tuna available at your local grocery store.

Grilling, pan-searing, and baking are three popular ways to cook yellowfin tuna. You can also make a salad, a spicy tuna burger, or a Cajun-style blackened fish with ahi tuna. If you are searing the fish, make sure the tuna saku loins are not overcooked. Ideally, the fish will still be moist and pink in the center after cooking.

Ahi Tuna Poke Recipe

Sushi-grade ahi tuna is often used to prepare sushi and poke bowls. The poke bowl is a traditional Hawaiian dish that has now become popular in the mainland too and is very easy to put together at home.

The first step to making a poke bowl is to prepare the fish. Trim any excess bits from the saku block tuna, and cut the fish into small, bite-sized cubes. Mix ½ cup of soy sauce and a tablespoon of sesame oil for every pound of yellowfin tuna meat to make a marinade. You can marinate the fish for up to two hours in the refrigerator.

While tuna saku is traditionally served over a bowl of sushi rice, you can also use other types of rice or even quinoa or lettuce. For toppings, you can choose from onions, carrots, tomatoes, radishes, pickled onions, avocado, seaweed, etc. Common sauce pairings include hot sauce, spicy mayonnaise, shoyu, and ponzu.
