Description

Toro is the buttery, melt-in-your-mouth belly of the Bluefin Tuna—a seasonal treat that sushi connoisseurs and chefs eagerly anticipate. Available only during the fall and winter months, this highly-prized cut is a direct result of the tuna fattening up for the colder season.

At Intershell Seafood, we understand that not all toro is created equal. We offer two distinct kinds, both of exceptional freshness and quality:

  1. Cooking-Grade Toro: This is the leaner part of the belly. It’s perfect for a quick sear, a warm appetizer, or a pan-fried delicacy. The fat renders beautifully under heat, creating a flavor and texture experience that is rich and incredibly tender.  
  2. Sashimi-Grade Toro: This cut comes from the fattiest part of the belly, which is what gives it a unique "melt-in-your-mouth" texture. Its high marbling and luxurious flavor make it a revelation when served raw as sashimi or nigiri. The experience is akin to high-grade Wagyu beef, with the fat melting away on the tongue, leaving a delicate and unforgettable taste. Don't miss the opportunity to experience the best of both worlds. 

Our two grades of toro allow you to savor the unique and incredible flavor of this seasonal delicacy, whether you're a purist who prefers it raw or a culinary artist looking for a truly unforgettable cooked experience.
