Chutoro Blue-Fin Tuna

Chutoro Blue-Fin Tuna

Weight: Approx. 1.3lb

Turn your kitchen table into a high-end sushi restaurant with sashimi-grade Blue-Fin Tuna delivered straight to your home! Chutoro is the perfect blend of Otoro and Akami, offering both meaty and fatty textures that provide a rich, melt-in-your-mouth experience. This prime cut comes from the belly of the fish, balancing the luscious fat of Otoro with the leaner, flavorful meat of Akami, creating a delightful culinary celebration.

In Japanese, "O" means big and "Chu" means medium, while "toro" is derived from the word "torokeru," meaning to melt. As the name suggests, Otoro has a marbled, melting texture, and is the fattiest part of the tuna. Blue-Fin Tuna is prized in top markets like Tokyo, where it commands premium prices. While other tunas, such as Yellow-fin and Big-Eye, are common, only Blue-Fin Tuna offers the highest quality Otoro and Chutoro.
