Yes. This is the same fish we sell to restaurants for raw service, handled the same way: kept cold from the auction floor to your door and cut the day it ships. Keep it refrigerated the moment it arrives, use a clean board and a sharp knife, and serve it the day you open it. If anything about the condition looks off to you, do not eat it, send us a photo and we will replace or refund it.

Probably not, and if it is, it keeps. Two pounds serves four to six as sashimi, so it is a dinner party portion rather than a solo one. If you are cooking for one or two, eat what you want the day it lands and wrap the rest tightly for the freezer.

Frozen well on arrival, it holds beautifully for a later meal. Sear it, grill it, or make poke. The only thing we would not do is freeze it and then expect raw sashimi later, that is a first-day pleasure.

As a rough guide, about a third of a pound per person for sashimi as a main course, less if it is one course among several. Two pounds comfortably serves four to six. Fish is cut by hand, so exact weight varies slightly from the size you choose.

Fresh, and never frozen. Most seafood shipped to your door arrives frozen, flash-frozen, or super-frozen and thaws in your kitchen. Ours is cut the morning it ships and flown cold, fresh the entire way. Shellfish is the exception. Crab, shrimp, scallops, and octopus are flash-frozen at their peak, which is how they are meant to travel, and it is noted on the product page.

Most retail fish has been through several hands and several days before it reaches the case, and much of what is sold as fresh was previously frozen. Ours is selected at the auction, cut to order the morning it ships, and flown to you cold. You are buying a grade and a handling standard that supermarkets are not set up to sell.

Watch your tracking email and plan for someone to bring the box inside on delivery day. The box is packed to hold temperature well past the expected window, but fish left outside in the heat is the one thing cold packing cannot fully protect against.
