Even though MahiMahi are native to both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, I have yet seen them as a choice in any Japanese restaurants. A certified Sushi Chef (in Japan, a sushi chef must be certified) would have to deem them edible as raw fish before they can become used 'officially' as Sushi or Sashimi.

You need to go to a good fishmonger and request 'sushi grade' tuna. It will cost more than tuna you buy for cooking.

What is Saku Tuna?

The best answer I've found so far, was from when I worked in restaurants. The sushi we served was always fresh, real, and caught by local fisherman from around the world. Alas, all sushi is not made the same, I was told that the "block" sushi I saw at lower grade sushi establishments was made from the loose bits of tuna that are pasturized and molded into blocks. By the looks of it, this is what I suppose saku tuna is Edit: As far as I know Saku Tuna is yellowfined tuna that is labeled with Maguro, most often only used for labeling bluefin tuna. So you can call the tuna Maguro Tuna-Saku. I suppose it is a way to sell the cheaper yellowfin tuna to a higher price.
