Special of the Season - Sushi grade Bluefin Tuna
-- Ever read about those giant tuna that are bought in Japan
for tens of thousands of dollars?
Many fish are 600 pounds each, and are worth more than most automobiles.
These fish are the Rolls-Royce of tuna, the Giant Bluefin.
This time of the year, these Bluefin tuna are migrating through
the Pacific near Baja, Mexico. In the trade, tuna are graded by
quality with a number scale. These younger tuna, known in the industry
as “Baby Blues,” are graded number 1 + + +
The flesh from these tuna is Chianti red with just a hint of blue.
Ideal for sushi or sashimi styled presentations, the quality of
this tuna will make even your favorite sushi chef drool.
Very few of these fish ever reach the US market, because American
fish buyers will not match the prices paid in Japan.
We have pre-purchased some of this delicacy for our customers.
It will only be available from now till the end of the Fall.
If Starkist is one end of the scale, these Bluefin Tuna are on
the other.
This tuna is not for the budget conscious, but if you want to taste
the finest tuna in the World, you are in for a real treat.

"Sorry about the delay in getting back
to you. I was out last week. As expected, the halibut and
salmon were great. They really brought back fond memories
of the Pacific Northwest. I will make some more orders in
the future.
One of my Seattle friends here asked if you
ever get salmon cheeks. We like them almost as much as the
halibut. I remember when I was a financially challenged student
at the University of Washington in the 1970s that we could
buy salmon cheeks for about a third of the price of salmon
steaks/fillets.
Most people tended to look at them as a waste
product. I liked them best of all. Has anyone ever marketed
smoked salmon cheeks? I think they would be dynamite! (My
uncle used to smoke razor clams in his garage). Best fishes
to you! Thanks for providing the best seafood experience I
have had in a long time. Regards"
