Southern Bluefin Tuna NZ Belly Loins Per 1kg/Fresh
This Southern Bluefin Tuna has been specifically selected to meet the sashimi grade. This reflects not only the premium quality of the Tuna and its meat, but also of our high standards kept when catching, storing, transporting, and processing the Tuna.
This means that you can expect the most incredible rich flavour, beautiful red/pink colour, and melt-in-your-mouth texture of the best Southern Bluefin Tuna.
The Belly Loin is cut from the fatty fish that are graded on arrival at Solander. With a rich marbling, this is the most flavoursome and tender flesh of the Southern Bluefin Tuna.
Please Note: This belly loin comes with skin on and bone in, therefore some processing is required.
In March, early in the New Zealand Bluefin Season, the fish tend to be leaner, getting fattier as the season progresses.
Sustainability
Solander and its associated companies is New Zealand's largest single quota owner and fisher for SBT (NZ QMS code = STN).
SBT being a migratory species means sustainability must be managed by a number of Nations. Most importantly Japan whom is essentially the sole significant consumer of SBT.
New Zealand is a signatory to CCSBT - which is an arrangement between most countries fishing SBT to maintain and monitor an agreed total catch. New Zealand's current allocation under CCSBT is 400 tonnes (less than 0.05% of the global total) and is managed strictly under New Zealand's own quota management system.
Every fish is carefully counted and recorded including those taken by whales. Almost all fish taken in NZ EEC are larger mature fish and consequently the number of fish caught to make up 400 tonnes is significantly less than those taken in the Australia juvenile fishery. Australia has an allocation of 5000 tonnes.
