 Raised in Malta, this Tuna is of the highest quality. These fish are bred in hatcheries, and relocated to the nearby Mediterranean, allowing the fish to grow large, and giving the meat exceptional flavor and texture. These Tuna are also fed shrimp to give the meat a beautiful red color. While it is rather well known that Australia has some of the best quality farm raised fish, it is less well known that among those workers were a great number of Croatians. In 1996, many of these emigrants returned to their homeland to begin similar operations. These fish are raised in the cool waters of the Adriatic Sea, resulting in a smaller fish on average (20-40kg) but also giving the meat a deliciously dense texture and flavor.  In 1991, the first Tuna farming Operations began in Australia. The methods, created and perfected there, are currently used around the world. This tuna is perfect for sashimi. Delicately marbled with fat, and exhibiting pinkish red color, Chutoro (or Medium Fatty Tuna) is the best of both worlds, Akami (Red Meat) and Toro (fatty marbled meat), and it is not too fatty and full of flavor. Chutoro is known as the meat that melts in your mouth.
