Riviera Seafood Club's Fresh Pacific Bluefin Tuna Akami ('Hon-Maguro' in Japanese) is prized around the world for its rich, meaty flavor and delicate features. Our Bluefin tuna are responsibly caught in the wild, and then ranched in the pristine waters of Baja by Bluefiná. Each and every Bluefin is harvested to order, always utilizing the Ike Jime method to maximize flavor and texture.
The Akami Cut is the least fatty of the Bluefin Tuna cuts. Our Bluefin selections are sushi and sashimi grade, but we also recommend lightly searing this specific cut--it's also delicious. Upon introduction to your palate, notes of a distinct bold flavor with a hint of light umami will wash over your taste buds, complemented by a semi-firm texture.
Each piece is perfectly cut as a Saku (or Block), individually packed and shipped using overnight delivery to your door.
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.

What is Superfrozen Seafood?
Benefits of Superfreezing Seafood
By superfreezing our fresh seafood, in special ultra-cold -60°C freezers, we are able to lock in the freshness and texture of our sushi-grade seafood, while also allowing you to store our products in your conventional freezer for later consumption.
Also, to help many of our customers, most of our superfrozen seafood is shipped out in 8oz portions so you can order more at one time to save on shipping costs, and so you can thaw only the amount you need.
What if I prefer fresh seafood?
contact us
Although superfrozen seafood is extremely convenient for many of our customers, some people still prefer fresh seafood.
If you would prefer fresh cuts, feel free to reach out to place a custom order with us.
Note: "Fresh (never frozen)" seafood needs to be consumed as soon as possible. Do not re-freeze seafood as this will ruin the integrity of the fish.
