I got it for $29.99 on sale. It was my first time buying sashimi and cutting it myself. I thawed it naturally from the freezer to the refrigerator the night before, and the next day I had fresh, perfectly cooked sashimi – even better value and tastier than most Japanese restaurants in the US! The fat was evenly distributed, with a slightly sweet flavor. One fish is enough for one person, enough for three meals, paired with champagne or sake – a great deal. I'll definitely buy it again when it's on sale!
