Buying Tips
Grade is everything. Inspect the core color — sashimi grade should be deep red with no brown oxidation. CO-treated (carbon monoxide) tuna maintains red color artificially and is priced lower than natural-color product. Always verify whether the product is CO-treated, as it cannot be sold as sashimi-grade in many markets. Temperature history is critical — any break in the cold chain degrades grade rapidly.
