We were very excited when the New York Steak and Seafood Company announced that Saku Ahi Tuna Blocks were now available. Each package contains two 12 ounce blocks. The instructions that came with the Saku said to defrost to room temperature and then sear it for two minutes on each side. I tried that, but prefer letting it defrost over night in the refrigerator and then cut it. For those of us that love sashimi, I would recommend not to sear the Saku. For our first test one block was cut into two 6 ounce portions. If you do sear it, you should have a sashimi knife, otherwise the cut would be rough and sashimi should be a smooth cut. It was served with Bibigo Cooked Sticky White Rice which only takes 90 seconds in the microwave, along with Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Pure Magic! This incredible Ahi Tuna will be a permanent item in our garage freezers!

Not as good as I expected. Was quite sinewy and tough as sashimi.
