When we cut a giant Bluefin Tuna, the massive collars are always the talk of the cutting room. These incredible pieces can weigh up to 20 pounds a piece! While most people rush for the loin steaks, true seafood connoisseurs and our master cutters know that the collar hides the absolute most flavorful, rich, and decadent meat on the entire fish.
We are well aware that a 20-pound collar is a bit much for the home kitchen, so we’ve portioned them into perfectly sized, manageable Collar Chunks—giving you access to a premium delicacy that is meant to be broiled or baked.
The meat that sits on the collar is the highest fattiest meat on the entire fish. Because it sits right behind the gills, this muscle is constantly working, resulting in a beautiful marbling of rich, healthy fats and deeply flavorful meat. It offers a spectacular contrast of textures: crispy, savory skin on the outside, and incredibly juicy, meltingly tender meat on the inside.

Note: These tuna collars are meant to be cooked end enjoyed.
Don't let the bones intimidate you—they are actually your secret weapon. Cooking meat on the bone locks in juices and deepens the flavor profile. When baked, broiled, or grilled, the outer skin turns golden and crispy while locking in ultra-juicy, flavorful meat inside.
Our favorite way to prepare it is ridiculously simple:
- Season: Pat the chunk dry, rub with a little oil (optional), and season generously with sea salt (or a brush of soy glaze/teriyaki).
- Roast: Bake it in a hot oven (or pop it under the broiler).
- The Result: As it bakes, the rich fats render down, self-basting the fish. When it’s done, the meat literally falls right off the bone with a fork. No fuss, just pure, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth Bluefin.
Frozen items are shipped with dry ice to ensure the arrive fully frozen. Please place them directly into your freezer upon arrival.
If you order fresh and frozen items together, we package your shipment using gel ice packs instead of dry ice to protect your fresh goods. As a result, frozen items may partially thaw during transit. You can safely place them straight back into your freezer, or allow them to finish defrosting and enjoy right away.
Defrosting Guidelines
- Overnight in the Fridge: Small packs take 6–12 hours; large packs take 12–48 hours.
- Cold Water Bowl: Submerge sealed items in cold water for a faster thaw.
- Note: Do not use hot water or attempt to thaw by cooking, as this ruins the natural texture and flavor.
