BLUEFIN TUNA LOIN - fresh and frozen

The Majestic Bluefin… the largest of all tuna species, and the world’s most luxurious and sought-after fish.

Millions of dollars are traded in yen at the famous Tsukiji Fish Auction in Tokyo among dealers and fisherman who know the value of this supreme delicacy. But these fast swimmers are experts at evading the fishermen’s lines and hooks—thus getting a chance to experience the taste of Bluefin tuna is, for most seafood lovers, just a dream. Today, however, Luxe Gourmets is making it possible for those who enjoy luxury cuisine in America to taste any of three different cuts of the Bluefin: The Otoro, the Chutoro, and the Loin, in the comfort of their homes. The Otoro and Chutoro are the most expensive cuts—they are also the fattiest. For a lean, muscular cut of tuna that is red and firm (as close to resembling a cut of beef in texture, taste, and appearance, as fish can get), your choice should be our Bluefin Tuna Loin. Like all of our seafood, our Bluefin Tuna Loin is Grade #1 (the highest grade of fish). In the recent past, Grade #1 Bluefin was almost exclusively reserved for Michelin-starred restaurants. Today, we at Luxe Gourmets are providing our luxury-loving customers with five-star room service.

We offer two varieties of Tuna Loin: cold brine-immersion SuperFrozen, and Fresh Farmed. Please read the descriptions below to see which is best for you. Click the blue button to purchase. And remember, our shipping is overnight.

SuperFrozen Bluefin Tuna Loin

Frozen naturally, to be enjoyed the day you please, promising perfect freshness as though it were caught only moments before your meal.

Our special “brine-immersion” freezing technique preserves our Bluefin Tuna Loin as fresh the day it was fished from the ocean. In fact, because of our natural preservation technique, many connoisseurs consider the taste and texture of our SuperFrozen fish to be not only equal, but superior, to that of fish that has never been naturally SuperFrozen. Our quality is always Grade #1. No gases or unnatural techniques are used in our freezing process. And thawing only requires that you run cool water over the package.

Bluefin Tuna Tartare with Wasabi Espuma

Although this Bluefin Tuna Tartare sticks closely to the classic French recipe for steak tartare, the raw egg yolk has been replaced with a wasabi espuma for a novel modern twist on the original. Parsley juice infused with wasabi and thickened with raw egg whites, the mixture is charged with nitrous oxide in a siphon to turn it into a light-as-air foam. Served atop a mound of silken cubes of tuna seasoned with capers, onions and mustard, this simple appetizer looks far more involved than it actually is.
