Fresh

I did get my sushi unfrozen, however you could not depend on the shippers. They would deliver warm sushi that was discarded immediately. Flash frozen is the way to go to get the freshest sushi.

The Hon-Hamachi cut we got are in the end of the tail and is a bad cut

We order 1 lb of Hamachi along with some otoro and chutoro tuna. The Tuna and 1 8oz piece of hamachi is ok but the other 8oz piece at the end of the tail and is not of sashimi quality and. we threw away 1/2 of the it away. Probably will not order hamachi again in the future.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We have gone ahead and made changes to this product to reflect your feedback.

Hamachi and Toro

The hamachi is excellent and the otoro (frozen) was incredibly delicious. I’ve bought fish from many other providers and between the packing, smaller available sizes, and the amazing flavor, this place will become my go-to. For these prices, the quality is amazing and I can’t recommend this enough to those who want to take the art of sushi or sashimi into their own hands.

Tasty but on the small side

They are very yummy! I just put them under the broiler with some salt and pepper and serve with ponzu. When I bought it, the description had said from 8oz to 16 oz, and the two I got were right at 8 so I was a little disappointed. At this price point, I could just order from my local Japanese restaurant and it would have been bigger.

Best hamachi around

I've tried sashimi-grade hamachi from other vendors but Riviera's Hon-Hamachi is the best! The taste is fresh, clean and sweet with the perfect texture.
