What you get

• Packaging: Vacuum packed, handled cold

How much do you need

See the pack details above to judge the quantity.

Storage and thawing

Keep frozen at -18°C until you need it — up to six months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, never at room temperature, and never refreeze a piece that has fully thawed.

How to cook gunkan tuna

Sear 60-90 seconds a side over high heat and leave the centre raw, or slice it thin and serve as sashimi. Cooking it through dries it out. For species background and seasonality see the FAO species profile.
