How to Slice for Sashimi: Tip from A Fisherman
“For Japanese style sashimi, using a very sharp knife, slice the tuna into thin slices that are translucent. For best results, cut the loin while still partially frozen. Garnish with ginger and wasabi or Italian carpaccio style with lemon, capers and a good olive oil.”

HOLY LORD these are good. Wow. I did not expect these to be this good. Melt in your mouth like butter. I made a dipping sauce and just sliced and ate it standing up. DAMN!!

Simply sublime PNW Albacore! I eat seafood 95% of my protein, and PNW/Alaska Seafood 80% of that 95% – and I would be remiss if I didn’t say thank you and great work on this albacore. Truly remarkable and delicious. I’m not sure I’ve had fresher tasting, even at the dock! Cheers and thank you again!

WE live rather remotely in Washington state. It is just not easy to get good seafood out here…….until I found Lummi Island Wild. We just love the albacore loins and serve them lightly seared with a sesame seed layer. I drizzle a little bit of soy sauce or Indonesian Kecap Manis on top after slicing to serve. The loins are so perfect for special occasions. Rarely do we have leftovers, but if we do the slices are great served atop a nice green salad.

Amazingly delicious. Such high quality that I can’t bring myself to cook it. We eat it raw either as sashimi or made into simple poke bowls.
beth (verified owner) –
So yummy and fresh. My 11 year old loves tuna night! We made it with panko and seaweed coating this past week. Three of us ate the entire loin.
A bit pricey but worth it!
Doris Dubielzig (verified owner) –
This is why we order from Lummi Island. The tuna loins are superb! And there’s zero waste. What isn’t eaten the first time round is either fried for breakfast or converted into tuna salad. Thank you!

I would not have believed that frozen fish could taste this fresh if I hadn’t had it myself. Sashimi, or lightly seared, it’s meltingly delicious fish!
Packaging was also excellent. Sent to a desert address in August, the shipment arrived frozen solid with plenty of dry ice in the shipping box.

Melted Olin our mouths – could not have been fresher than if I caught it same day. Yum!
Dave in VA (verified owner) –
This had a very clean and fresh taste. The flavor was far superior to the tuna I am able to buy in my local market.
Kevin McDonough (verified owner) –
Key to not cook too long. Turn every minute and stop at 4.5 minutes for rare on the grill. Great cut and delicious. Definitely a repeat customer for this and the salmon.
Cecelia –
Very yummy. I overcooked the first batch but the second was seared perfectly so I am buying more
Barbara (verified owner) –

Sent as gift to those in the know hunkered down in Brooklyn during the virus and they LOVED the Albacore Tuna Loins. Devoured like sashimi.
Thank You!
Corina Durrego (verified owner) –
Wow! Great fish. Does not taste like it was frozen. I seared them rare and the fish was delicious. I will definitely buy this again.
Mary Patterson (verified owner) –
Totally enjoyed this product from Lummi Island – excellent quality and makes a delicious meal when lightly seared. Appreciate the cooking recommendations from Lummi Island Wild to avoid over cooking. Will definitely buy again. Mary and Pat

These loins are truly delicious! I had planned to sear them, but decided to sashimi about a quarter of the loin and eat raw with California rolls and wasabi and soy sauce. They were so buttery and delicious that my wife and I ended up eating the entire loin raw. Wonderful choice for a dinner party or as Christmas gifts. Thank you Jim and Kara!
