Fresh Hawaiian Ahi Tuna

What's the best way to cook ahi?

Sear it hot and fast so the center stays rare, or grill it briefly. Cooking it through makes it dry.

Can I eat it raw?

Many customers serve ahi seared rare or raw. "Sushi-grade" is not a regulated term, so if you plan to serve it raw, call us and we'll point you to the best option.

How should I store it?

Keep it very cold and use it within 48 hours of delivery for the best color and texture.

How should I store it, and how long will it stay fresh?

Refrigerate it as soon as it arrives and cook it within 48 hours of delivery, or freeze it right away. See our Care & Prep guide for storage and thawing tips.

How do I know when it's done?

Cook until the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F.

Can I get it portioned or vacuum sealed?

Where available, you can choose portion sizes and vacuum sealing before you add it to your box. Vacuum sealing is a flat $25 per order, and whole fish aren't eligible.

When will my order ship, and when will it arrive?

You choose your delivery date at checkout, and we ship your order overnight the day before. Because we only ship Monday through Thursday, delivery is available Tuesday through Friday, so your seafood never sits in a carrier facility over the weekend outside its 48-hour freshness window. Available delivery dates may vary with our seasonal store hours.

How is it shipped?

Overnight only — since fresh seafood has a strict 48-hour safety window once it leaves our store in Seattle. Continental U.S. orders ship via FedEx Priority Overnight or UPS Ground Overnight, depending on your location. Local customers in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho are eligible for discounted UPS Ground Overnight rates. See our full shipping rates by region ->

Do you ship to my address?

We ship to residential and business addresses across all 48 continental states, plus Alaska and Hawaii at a flat rate. We're unable to ship to PO boxes, FPO, or APO addresses.

What if my order arrives damaged or spoiled?

If your order arrives spoiled or you receive the wrong product, contact us within 14 days of delivery. We're not able to accept returns once an order has shipped, so if there's an issue, please reach out to us right away.

What Does Ahi Tuna Taste Like?

Ahi tuna has a mild, clean flavor with a subtle sweetness and firm, meaty texture. Unlike many flaky fish, tuna holds its shape well during cooking, making it especially suited to quick searing and grilling.

Its mild flavor also pairs beautifully with ingredients such as sesame, soy, citrus, ginger, wasabi, fresh herbs, and flavorful marinades.

Is Ahi Tuna Sushi & Sashimi Grade?

Our fresh Hawaiian Ahi tuna is sushi and sashimi grade, making it an excellent choice for preparations such as sashimi, sushi, poke, and lightly seared tuna.

When serving seafood raw or undercooked, proper handling and storage are especially important. Follow the handling instructions provided with your order and prepare according to your preferences.

How to Prepare Ahi Tuna Steaks

Seared Ahi Tuna
Coat the outside with sesame seeds or your favorite seasoning and quickly sear the tuna while leaving the center to your preferred doneness.

Grilled Ahi Tuna
Ahi's firm texture holds up beautifully on the grill. Try it with a simple marinade or seasoning that complements the tuna without overpowering it.

Poke Bowls
Cube Ahi tuna and pair it with rice, vegetables, sesame, seaweed, avocado, and your favorite poke sauce.

Sushi & Sashimi
Slice chilled Ahi tuna for homemade sushi or sashimi and serve with your favorite traditional accompaniments.

How Much Ahi Tuna Should I Order?

For Ahi tuna steaks served as the main course, approximately 6–8 ounces per person is a useful starting point.

If you're preparing poke, sushi, sashimi, or serving tuna as part of a larger meal, the amount needed per person may be smaller.

Check the product options above for current sizes and ordering information.

How Should I Store Fresh Ahi Tuna?

Keep fresh Ahi tuna properly refrigerated until you're ready to prepare it. Because raw preparations such as sushi, sashimi, and poke require particular attention to seafood handling, follow the storage and handling instructions provided with your order.
