Welcome to our new Fresh Fish On Friday program!  This product is only available for Friday delivery, but you can add anything to your cart to accompany it!  Just keep in mind you'll only see Friday as an option if you have this item in your cart!

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 1, 2, 3, or 4 pound portions and we'll custom cut it for you.  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.

 

This is a very special product that is caught right here in Portland, ME. This product lands, is cut, and ships on Thursday from local independent fishermen. This is hand cut Thursday and ships overnight to you!

We recommend 8 ounces per person.

Bluefin Nutritional Benefits Coming Soon!

Please be Aware: Consuming raw or undercooked fish may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.

Due to the extremely fresh nature of this product is only available for Friday delivery. We actually will be limiting this to 1 - 2 Fridays in advance as the State of Maine shuts down quotas for the month once a certain number of tuna's have landed. Please sign up of out of stock emails to be notified when quotas have been opened up again to place your next order. All orders will ship overnight Thursday with gel packs. You can add other products to this order if you'd like.

Keep refrigerated below 38 degrees until ready to eat. We recommend consuming this product within 1-2 days of receipt.
