When it comes to bluefin tuna, Browne Trading has the very best. Our purchaser knows to pay a premium in exchange for top quality. Likewise, fishermen know that we only accept tuna with great color, fat content, and texture. So much so, that Browne Trading has returned fish that do not meet our standard. With exceptional bluefin comes the question of preparation. For those looking to expand their usual poké bowls, consider a light sear and fragrant spice mix with our Tuna Tataki.
