Riviera Seafood Club's Pacific Bluefin Tuna Chu-Toro is a renowned cut, most famous for the mixed gradient of Akami and Toro/Otoro. Our Bluefin tuna are responsibly caught in the wild, and then sustainably ranched in the pristine waters of Baja, Mexico by Bluefiná. Each and every Bluefin is harvested to order, always utilizing the Ike Jime method to maximize flavor and texture.

The Chu-Toro Cut is sushi and sashimi grade with perfectly balanced fat content, resulting in a smooth, buttery taste with melt-in-your-mouth texture typically found at high-end sushi bars. With each bite your taste buds are greeted with a distinct medium-full flavor that shifts from light to rich umami, complemented by a texture ranging from soft to semi-firm.

Each piece is perfectly cut as a Saku (or Block), individually packed and shipped using overnight delivery to your door. If you are intending to consume the seafood raw, do not re-freeze bluefin tuna as this will ruin the integrity of the fish.

We offer our Bluefin tuna superfrozen. Superfreezing is a method of freezing foods below -60°C, preserving the freshness and texture at optimal conditions, while also allowing you to store in your freezer for later consumption making this option extremely convenient. Note: It is common practice to inject carbon monoxide in Bluefin Tuna to prevent a change in color after long storage. We DO NOT agree with this method and NEVER inject our bluefin tuna with carbon monoxide.

Time your defrost process to a couple of hours before your meal for the optimal outcome.

Yes and no. Yes, you can refreeze it for a future cooking preparation. No, if you plan on using it for raw preparation.

Yes! We suggest that most super-frozen products may be stored in a conventional freezer for up to 2 months upon usage.

The United States is late to the game... Many countries, including Japan, depend on this technology to assure minimal loss in quality and maximum gain in shelf life.
