Used in many rolls, but often seen by itself, what is now the old stand-by was not always the most popular item on the menu.

While currently suffering from incredible demand, tuna was, until the 1970’s, a sport fish commonly known as “horse mackerel” and sold to companies for cat food or thrown away. Now, its fatty belly meat, known as ‘toro’ is one of the more expensive items on the menu, prized for its taste, texture, and scarcity. The name “horse mackerel” is now used for the fish called “Aji” (or jack mackerel) as, for marketing purposes, seafood purveyors didn’t want the strong flavor of mackerel associated with the much less oily and fishy tasting bluefin tuna. Tuna has come a long way from being a fish the samurai considered unclean and would not eat, to one of the most popular fish in Japan, and the world around. Tuna served in restaurants is generally one of two different species, the bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), traditionally known as ‘maguro,’ which is usually fairly lean, and the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), known as ‘ahi’ (ah-hee), which is a fattier species.

Yellowfin tuna may also be labeled ‘maguro‘ but more often than not, if you see maguro it will be bluefin tuna. Tuna sushi is further broken up into subtypes, based on the fat content. Akami (ah-kah-me) is the leaner meat from the sides of the fish. If you ask for ‘maguro’ at a restaurant, or order any kind of tuna roll or sushi without requesting ‘toro,’ you will get this cut. Toro (toh-roh) is the term for the fatty part of the tuna, found in the belly portion of the fish. sushi grade tuna mississaugaToro is further broken up into two distinct subtypes, and they are more expensive due to their relative scarcity as a proportion of the entire fish. sushi grade fish manchester nhThe two types of toro are:jiro dreams of sushi online english subtitles

Chutoro (choo-toh-roh), which is sometimes labeled chu-toro, is the belly area of the tuna along the side of the fish between the akami and the otoro. It is often preferred because it is fatty but not as fatty as otoro. Otoro (oh-toh-roh), which is sometimes labeled o-toro, is the fattiest portion of the tuna, found on the very underside of the fish. This cut is fatty almost to the point of falling apart and can literally melt in your mouth.sushi delivery london sw13 Today, approximately 80% of the world’s bluefin tuna catch is used for sushi, and the species is actually close to being threatened, and due to this, they are becoming more expensive. sushi delivery london nw2Toro (and especially otoro) is generally the most expensive item in the menu by weight, and in fact the fish themselves can command record prices. ichiban sushi menu mclean

On January 5th, 2001 in Tokyo, a sushi grade bluefin tuna was sold for an astounding $173,600 for a 444 pound fish (which equates to $391/lb). I have personally seen people waiting on the docks ready to buy the catch of those who have spent a day deep sea fishing for tuna. This diverse fish is now one of the most popular items on the sushi menu, but hopefully its culinary success will not be its downfall.You can find sushi grade tuna at Catalina Offshore Products (among other sushi grade seafood).Be the first to tip!Tip me with bitcoin!1Kb1wCkjsXSk2re5H5cE43ndVh2262M4KYIf you enjoyed reading this post, please consider tipping me using Bitcoin.

That’s where we come in - because we’re on the hunt for the best (and occasionally the worst) takeaways the city has to offer so you know where to spend your hard-earned cash at the end of the week. This week, we decided to give sushi a go - Central Sushi, to be precise. The Renfield Street eatery promises a blend of traditional Japanese and modern classics, and it’s one of a few sushi places to have popped up for takeaway of late.

Here’s how we got on - and the all-important question; would we order again? In real terms, right next to Central Station - so perfect if you’re grabbing a spot of lunch or an after-work treat. But let’s face it, you’re unlikely to call into the city centre just for a takeaway - so you’ll be pleased to know they’re on JustEat, and they deliver well beyond the city centre limits. It was one of those days - you know the ones. There was no way I was leaving the house, so food was going to have to come to me. JustEat accepted my order and just 30 minutes later, my doorbell rang - so far, so speedy. Unfortunately, that’s where the praise ends. The driver wasn’t the friendliest (granted, he had tackled three flights of tenement stairs before he got to me) and completely missed the tip in my hand; he was too busy thrusting the food at me and bolting. Fair enough, more cash for me! For a place called Central Sushi, it seems a good place to start. My salmon, avocado and lettuce roll was missing the lettuce but it wasn’t a big deal;

the avocado was ripe and buttery, the fish was fresh. Tuna maki was fine too, as was a yellowtail temaki cone topped with chilli sauce. The sushi was a bit underseasoned, maybe, but nothing a dod of soy sauce and smear of wasabi couldn’t fix. If only the same could be said for spicy beef bao; steamed buns stuffed with beef that was neither spicy or tender for that matter, and a smattering of salad. It’s possible it had suffered in the car drive and was all just a bit soggy - but at £5 for two, the baos were a disappointment compared to better, cheaper alternatives across Glasgow. Then there was the soft shell crab. Was it soft shell crab? It was hard to tell - at first I wondered if I’d clicked on something else by mistake. £5.90 bought me a few scraps of chewy batter and there wasn’t a lot of shellfish to show for it. We’ll skip the obvious joke about being shellfish with the crab, Central Sushi, but the sentiment stands. Given that Central is one of a few sushi places popping up of late, it has to be said that their selection is great - lots of exotic fish options (cuttlefish, mackerel, flying fish roe) if you’re feeling brave, and lots of safe choices if you’re not.

Spend £20 on JustEat just now and you’ll get 20% off too - always good, because being healthy with sushi isn’t always kind to your wallet. My order - with the 20% discount - came to £20.26 including delivery. It’s not exactly a cheap night in for one, although it should be noted that the prices are comparable to most of Glasgow’s sushi spots. It wasn’t a great impression from the get-go, was it Central Sushi? Bringing me salmon and avocado wrapped up in sushi rice … well, we could have been great pals. Sadly, the crab and the beef left a bad taste in my mouth and I’m not convinced it’s my favourite sushi place in town just yet.
