Pairs well with
Shima aji is the fish sushi chefs reach for when they want clean rather than rich. The flesh is firm and glossy with a crisp bite and a bright, faintly sweet finish, sitting somewhere between the creaminess of hamachi and the snap of a lean white fish. In Japan's sushi bars it has long been treated as a benchmark.
Raised in the same clean Japanese waters as our hamachi and madai, and flown to us fresh, never frozen. It slices cleanly and holds its shape on the plate, which makes it as good over rice as it is laid out as crudo. A squeeze of citrus and a little salt is all it asks for.
Best for: sashimi, nigiri, and crudo. Farm-raised in Japan.
We choose every fish by eye and by hand. If it does not meet our standard, it never makes the box.
How it reaches you
1
Cut to order — by hand in Honolulu the day it ships.
2
Packed cold — sealed with gel ice in an insulated box built to hold temperature.
3
Two-day delivery — flown cold, tracking sent when it leaves.
✓ Backed by our Freshness Guarantee. Arrives right, or we make it right.
A note on weight: Every cut is portioned by hand, so the exact weight varies slightly from the size you choose. You may receive a little over or a little under, and your order is billed at the listed price for that size. That is the nature of a fresh, hand-cut product.
Shipping & Delivery
We cut to order and ship Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Order by 6PM ET on a ship day and your box goes out that same day. Orders placed after the cutoff, or on other days, ship on the next shipping day.
Mainland orders arrive 2 days after they ship, packed cold with gel ice, so Thursday shipments arrive Saturday. Island orders arrive the next day. You will get tracking by email the moment your box is on its way.
