For Sushi, tuna is king. And among the many types, bluefin Kuro Maguro ranks at the top. However popular, tuna is a very fragile fish, not able to withstand conventional freezing procedure. Resolution can be found in the revolutionary, advanced super-frozen technology that quickly deep freezes to a -75 degree F, thus preventing cell corrosion and minimizing dripping. ULTS Ultra Low Temperature Seafood line is a technologically advanced line of seafoods with a “Fresher Than Fresh” proposition.
