Fresh Tuna Saku in Bali — Sashimi-Grade Buying Guide 2026

Where can you buy fresh, sashimi-grade tuna in Bali? For sashimi, poke and seared tuna, the safest source is a specialist seafood supplier that handles tuna under sashimi-grade cold-chain conditions. Pasific Makanan Laut supplies fresh tuna saku and tuna steak across Bali, same-day, with a 4.9-star rating across 81 reviews.

What is tuna saku?

Tuna saku is a clean, rectangular block of tuna loin cut specifically for slicing into sashimi, nigiri and poke. Because it is trimmed into an even block, you get consistent slices with almost no waste — which is why it is the cut professional sushi chefs prefer. A tuna steak, by contrast, is a thicker cross-cut ideal for searing and grilling.

What makes tuna sashimi-grade?

Sashimi-grade means the tuna has been handled and frozen in a way that makes it safe to eat raw. The key factors are speed and temperature: tuna caught, bled and chilled quickly, then kept under continuous cold-chain control, keeps its deep red colour, firm texture and clean taste. Always confirm sashimi-grade handling with your supplier before eating tuna raw.

How to choose fresh tuna in Bali

1. Colour — deep, even red or pink; avoid brown edges or a dull grey tone.
2. Texture — firm and dense, not soft or watery.
3. Smell — clean and ocean-fresh, never sour or ammonia-like.
4. Supplier — ask whether it is sashimi-grade and how the cold chain is maintained.

Ways to use tuna saku and steak

• Sashimi & nigiri — slice saku thinly against the grain
• Poke bowls — cube saku with soy, sesame and avocado
• Seared tataki — sear the outside, keep the centre raw
• Grilled tuna steak — high heat, 1–2 minutes per side
