Riviera Seafood Club's Pacific Bluefin Tuna Chu-Toro
Our Chu-Toro cut is celebrated for its unique blend of Akami and Toro/Otoro, offering a perfect gradient of flavor and texture. Sourced from wild-caught Bluefin tuna, they are sustainably ranched in the pristine waters of Baja, Mexico, by Bluefiná. Each tuna is harvested to order using the Ike Jime method, ensuring peak flavor and texture.

The Chu-Toro Experience
This sushi and sashimi-grade cut boasts a balanced fat content, delivering a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture reminiscent of high-end sushi bars. Each bite reveals a medium-full flavor, transitioning from light to rich umami, with a texture that ranges from soft to semi-firm.

Packaging & Delivery
Every piece is expertly cut into Saku (block) portions, individually packed, and shipped overnight to your door. For raw consumption, avoid re-freezing to preserve the fish’s integrity.

Superfreezing Technology
Our Bluefin tuna is superfrozen at below -60°C, locking in freshness and texture. This method allows for extended freezer storage without compromising quality, offering ultimate convenience.

Our Commitment to Quality
Unlike industry practices, we NEVER use carbon monoxide to alter color. Our Bluefin tuna is 100% natural, ensuring the highest standards of quality and authenticity.
