1. Sushi restaurant is closing down and they let me raid the walk in.

   I ended up with a 15 pound case of these frozen blocks (individual 1lb blocks that are frozen) but I’m unsure as to what they are exactly.

   There are no labels, and google results lead me to believe it’s tuna scrape, but I’m not entirely sure.

   edit: It’s always nice to have some confirmation on these things. I appreciate it! Thanks everyone!

2. A little hard to tell with the photo, but small chance is actual tuna, better chance it is minced tuna which if true, you got a whole lot of spicy tuna and tuna hand rolls you get to enjoy!

3. I think it’s for spicy tuna and the like.

4. My money is on scraped yellowfin

5. Ground yellowfin tuna for spicy tuna.

6. Mix with mayo & sriracha for your standard spicy tuna. Add what you will to bougie it up.

7. Could be tuna not sure but you can eat it raw or cooked.

8. It looks ground / flaked but that doesn’t mean it’s not great! Pretty hard to tell until thawed. Id thaw and plan for something you can make with good tuna flake. If it’s not flake it will be that much better

9. Yeah this is minced tuna, at the restaurant I worked at we would use it for spicy tuna.

10. Thaw one and find out lmao

12. It’s ground tuna used for spicy tuna. Thaw it overnight in the fridge. When you open it, use a paper towel to dry all excess moisture. Throw it in a bowl and mix sriracha and a bit of sesame oil to make spicy tuna.

14. 100% definitely ground tuna. I make spicy tuna at work daily and the packages look exactly like this. Make sure you open the package before you thaw! Theres certain pathogens that can form in low oxygen conditions, which is why they tell you to open the package before thawing the vaccuum sealed fish

15. It’s ground tuna. Worked at a sushi place and used to use these when tuna prices got out of control ten years ago

16. In addition to using this for spicy tuna maki, it could be used in panko fried/tempura fish cakes.

17. Minced tuna. Unfrosted many of these.

18. Tuna mince. Run it for tartar if you are cheap. Otherwise spicy tuna rolls. Or call it negitoro and charge an extra euro with some scallions chopped in.

    If you really want to do it right, throw it on a sesame cracker with a nori wrap and don’t charge too much.

19. That’s called Tuna Nakaochi. It’s ground tuna traditionally used for spicy tuna. Mix in some mayo and tobanjan or Sriracha and enjoy!

20. Pickled Ginger? No idea why you would freeze it,if it is.

21. poke🤙🤙🤙

22. You do not eat what you do not know if it safe. Dah!

23. Looks like ground tuna. I used it when I ran a sushi kiosk franchise.
    Thaw, then press between paper towels to remove liquid. To make spicy tuna for sushi rolls, Mix with a little Sriracha or spicy mayo and a little shichimi togarashi and a drizzle of fire oil or sesame oil.

24. Ground beef

25. Ground tuna with no flavor

26. might it be pickled pink ginger? it’s used between sushi bites to clean the palate and as far as i know it can be frozen.
