We have partnered with Upstream Trucking in Portland, ME to bring you fresh Bluefin Tuna! This fish is caught by local independent fishermen and hand cut. We take orders for Friday delivery in advance. We stop taking orders Wednesday and call in our order to Upstream. When the fish lands early Thursday they cut your loin fresh, and we overnight it to you. This is literally the freshest fish we can get to you landed right in Portland, Maine. We are only delivering on Friday because we don't want to hold any inventory at all and every loin that ships out was landed on Thursday, so you can only choose Friday for delivery.
This type of tuna is very popular for sashimi, poke bowls, and sushi. You can order 2, 3, or 4 pound portions that we cut in house. We recommend 8 ounces per person. We also DO NOT recommend freezing this product as it will oxidize and turn brown We have a frozen tuna portion that is frozen properly if you would like a frozen product. This is a very perishable product and we recommend you eat it with 1-2 days of receipt.

Customer Reviews
I’ve been waiting for the day to leave a review for this tuna! Five stars just aren’t enough. It’s so fresh and delicious. My husband is already hooked and is just waiting for the next order. We’re really disappointed that we can’t order in November.
The bluefin was amazing!!! Fresh, perfect texture. Will be buying it again
Tuna was great and fresh
Disappointed in the bluefin size. Website loin pic looks to be a longer, slimmer loin of either a smaller fish or the tail end of a larger fish. Was expecting to get 3-4 well portioned steaks from the loin by slicing it. Loin was actually about a 4” thick steak from a much larger fish. Fresh yes, but at over 12” across was neither easy to slice nor prepare.
Excellent quality. Note that it is a cross section so it contains different types of meat; belly, internal muscle etc. Absolutely met my expectations.
