Wild Bluefin Tuna Akami Saku Block (bulk pack)

The Fish Society

Tuna Akami refers to the lean, red meat of the tuna. It is the most common and widely consumed part of the tuna, known for its firm texture and distinct flavour. Akami is typically found in the muscular areas of the fish, such as the loin or back, and it contains a lower fat content compared to our Otoro. It is frequently used in sushi, sashimi, and other Japanese dishes where the natural taste of the tuna is the showstopper.

Each saku block is individually super-frozen at -60 degrees and stored in our state-of-the-art freezers—a technique perfected by sushi masters to lock in the memorable taste, texture, and colour of bluefin tuna. A 120g block will make 10-15 maki rolls.

Mallorca pole-and-line bluefin tuna

Atlantic Ocean
In Mallorca's bluefin tuna fishery, they utilise one-by-one catch methods. This involves targeting individual tuna using specialised gear such as fishing rods, handlines, or trolling lines. Often a combination of these is involved in the process of landing a large bluefin tuna.

Pole-and-line

This fishing method provides the most selective targeting of tuna possible, with minimal bycatch of non-target fish and marine wildlife like dolphins, turtles and sharks. Pole-and-line fishing targets schools of tuna near the ocean surface, and therefore only needs to use short lengths of line on each pole, typically  5-10m.
