The sashimi was bigger than I expected! I can't wait to eat it!
jknan_g5
I marinated it with kelp and made sweet shrimp salmon rice bowl with it, and it was delicious. If you are just making a rice bowl with salmon, I think you would need one per person. But since I ate it with sweet shrimp, one was the perfect amount for two people.

First, I made sashimi. The meat was good, but there was too much connective tissue. I removed the connective tissue and made sushi directly.
wenzegu
It's chewy and delicious! I've tried other tuna brands, but those were a bit gritty, whereas this one is chewy. However, if it's thawed too much, it can be slightly fishy, so if you are sensitive to fishy tastes, you might not like it.

I bought this for my husband, who loves fatty tuna (otoro), as a Father's Day gift. It arrived partially thawed. There were a few sinews, but I'm grateful to be able to buy this much fatty tuna at this price. I think it's perfectly fine for enjoying sushi at home while living abroad.
