Good to go! This is the freshest ahi tuna all ready to be cut into sashimi sized pieces (aka saku block). 100% yield, this is easy and simple meets delicious and sustainable! Yellowfin Tuna is best known as Ahi, after the Hawaiian word for "fire", due to the vibrant red color of the flesh.
Our Ahi is as fresh as it gets and we get it flown in directly from our source in the Phillipines. Enjoy seared or raw, in your favorite poke recipe or simply with some wasabi and soy sauce!
The first nine months of our business, we did not sell yellowfin tuna. We finally found a reliable source that is sustainably caught and are pleased to support these fishermen. Read more about our decision on our blog.

Sustainably Sourced
Yellowfin tuna (Ahi) are found in most of the world’s oceans. Yellowfin reproduce at an early age of 2 years old, have a maximum age of 8 years and have many young. This makes them more resistant to fishing pressure. Western Pacific tuna populations are considered to be healthy as compared to populations in Eastern Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
I Love Blue Sea’s yellowfin tuna is caught using handlines that are trolled through the water. These handlines target individual fish and result in minimal bycatch of other species. Handlines are also unlikely to cause damage to ocean habitats. Traditional methods like longlines and purse seines that are used to catch tuna result in high levels of bycatch and can damage ocean habitats.
