Does this look like good quality blue fin tuna?

1. It’s not a premium part of the fish – at the omakase place I’ve worked at, that will get chopped up or used for a roll. But for a grab and go sushi – a bluefin tuna will be utilized as a nigiri to maximize their cost.

2. NO looks like something from a gas station

3. Looks good.

   I like the sushi from Tokyo Central.

4. looks good enough for me, but sure most the snobs here will piss in ur cereal over it , just because, nah mate, that looks good, would deffo eat it with a smile.

5. Bluefin tuna is what most sushi restaraunts are suppose to serve.

   Most instead do the cheaper option of yellowfin tuna. That being said I’m use to bluefin being darker a bit. This looks like it’s leaning towards the chutoro/otoro part of a tuna.

6. The chutoro looks fine. The only thing that really bugs me is that wasabi packet…

7. Looks decent looks like some toro

8. Been doing for a while now and worked at some upscale sushi restaurants in NYC. I.M.O looking at the color and marbling of the Chu-Toro it’s not the best, but for it being take out it looks decent.

9. I mean…I wouldn’t say no.

10. Bought a cut of this yesterday. It’s not premium, (relatively cheap with under 1000 Yen) but super tender and has a decent amount of fat. Personally a big fan but 20 USD is maybe a bit much.

11. Looks delicious to me

12. Would eat.

13. The forbidden grapefruit slices

14. It’s fine.

    The quality of bluefin tuna is a GIGANTIC spectrum.

    Good to some people means properly handled and transported . To others it means bluefin caught by pole and line fishing only.

15. Yes its good

16. Everyone shut up this looks delicious

17. looks amazing to me

18. Man, the comments here have made me lose faith in this subreddit. That’s clearly a summer yield of otoro/chutoro fatty belly. That’s some good shit, enjoy. Unsure if it’s bluefin/yellowfin/bigeye by the look but I’d guess bluefin.

19. Idk about quality but I’d stuff it in my face and pr sure it’d taste good

20. This looks good to me

21. Looks like toro

22. That’s definitely chutoro. And for $20 you definitely got your money worth.

23. Is the cut the wrong way? The meat splits if you cut it on the wrong direction.

24. OMG lucky you I’m so hungry now (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

25. How did it taste?

26. The rice is a little messy, but this is some nice chu-toro. Good quality tuna all around.

27. Well, you asked after you bought it so…

28. Looks fatty as hell… gorgeous 🤤

29. I’m literally drooling , I can’t wait to go to Tokyo this sunmer

30. Looks amazing. Eat it right away, as it won’t keep well.

31. I mean it’s grocery store chutoro, but good quality grocery store chutoro

    Id eat

32. Nope I wouldn’t eat that
