My wife and I love nigiri sushi. We would go out and eat sushi all the time but always wanted to make our own. However if you've done your research you would know that to kill any parasites in a fish you need to reach certain temperature(per FDA) requirements. Conventional freezers don't reach that temperature. So we never had the chance to make our own sushi.

Eventually with the lockdown of all restaurants we found CatalinaOp. And to our surprise they offered shipping to Arizona.

We've already done two orders and so far so good. We tried 4 different types of salmon, one type of tuna and some seaweeds. The quality was superb! Absolutely loved it.

The shipping takes less than 24 hours so by the time it reaches our address the fish is still frozen.

With all of that said I would like to express a few concerns. With both orders the boxes had stickers on the outside indicating that there was ice inside. However both times there was no ice anywhere to be found.

Nonetheless I am still giving Catalina 5 stars because the fish is still well frozen when it arrives.

Their website can do a bit of work. For instance one of the tunas says it comes as 1.1 each. Not clear if that is 1.1oz or lbs. I had to email them to find out. Things can be a little better organized to make the website look more user friendly

Here's a few tips if you are thinking about ordering online:
1. If your order reaches $300 you get free shipping. Otherwise shipping is $50(remember it's overnight).
2. Before you purchase look online for coupon codes. Right now there's one for 10% off.
3. Enroll in their email program. They have weekly deals. This week they had a good deal on frozen sushi grade salmon.
