MAE, going midday or early afternoon should be good, as tuna is flown up from GenSan and arrives on mid to late morning flights. But you can get the tuna in the early morning as well, probably delivered the day before.

hi, as far as i know sashimi grade or class A tuna in gen san are transported/deliverd ‘chilled’ and not ‘frozen’. Those that were frozen are for canning and processing…

We always buy there too. Everything is fresh and already sliced and prepared so less the hassle.

the tuna looks fresh… if you happen to be in general santos city (the tuna capital of the philippines), my hometown – the frehest catch are “unloaded” at the fishport every morning (note: very early morning)… the tuna are then “classified” based on their color, texture, etc… sad to say, the prices of tuna are not that “friendly” anymore, as the stocks compete with the demands of the united states and the european union; classified “first class” tuna are shipped to these markets, and the “second” and “third” class are what you usually see aon the market… (sad)… but, nonetheless, nothing beats a fresh sashimi and ice-cold san miguel beer!!! :)

I love tuna and salmon sashimi. If only we can let the yellowfin/bluefin tuna and salmon have some time to thrive in the oceans, i’d really feel less guilty eating it. In a time where we harvest everything, even in excess, it can be quite frightening what we serve and put on our plates. And as much as i’d like to buy fresh fish from the market, i can’t bear the thought of serving it as sashimi. It’s just the cutting boards that puts me off and the sanitary standards they keep. It makes me squeamish.
