Our Pacific Bluefin Tuna Poke are cubed cuts of prized bluefin tuna! These cuts are highly recommended for any recipe that calls for Tuna cubed such as poke, salad, tartare, and other appetizers! Each portion is individually frozen for easy defrost and prep!

Riviera Seafood Club's prized Pacific Bluefin Tuna (Hon Maguro) are responsibly ranched in Baja California, Mexico by Bluefiná and known around the world for it's rich, meaty flavor and delicate features.

With every bite of this delectable sushi-grade fish you are greeted with a distinct medium-full flavor shifting between light to rich umami, complemented by a sophisticated texture ranging from soft to semi-firm with the skin-off and no bones.

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.

The bluefin tuna poke I got is a great mix of akami, chutoro and otoro. At first I plan to make tuna salads using them but it was so good that I just serve them as sashimi. Great deal!

Quality wasn’t as expected. Fish is grey, not anything like the picture. And it had a fishy smell as soon as it thawed. Properly handled fish should smell like the ocean or have no smell at all.
