Sushi-grade tuna typically refers to species such as Bluefin, Yellowfin, and Bigeye tuna. These fish are considered sushi grade when they are caught, handled, and stored in a way that ensures their freshness and safety for raw consumption. The term "sushi grade" is not a formal certification but indicates that the fish meets high standards for quality and is free from parasites. Always ensure that you purchase from reputable sources to guarantee the freshness and safety of the fish.
You need to go to a good fishmonger and request 'sushi grade' tuna. It will cost more than tuna you buy for cooking. Unless you have been trained on identifying sushi grade fish and know what parasites and imperfections to look for, leave it to the professionals. Another good source is to ask your local sushi shop where they buy their fish from.
Tuna Sushi

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.
Many countries go fishing for tuna. For example, Japan fishes lots of tuna for use in sushi, which is a popular type of food there.

Ahi tuna and yellowfin tuna are different species of tuna. Yellowfin tuna is generally considered to be of higher quality for sushi due to its mild flavor and firm texture. Ahi tuna, also known as bigeye tuna, has a richer flavor and is often used in cooked dishes rather than raw sushi.

Because there are basically two types of what we westerners think of as 'tuna' in sushi, the lean cut of the fish, called 'akami' and the fattier part of the fish, cut from the belly region, called 'toro.' Tori is also graded up by the degree of fattiness, and can be referred to as 'toro,' 'chu-toro,' or 'o-toro.'
