Costco Shoppers Are Riled Up Over the Arrival of This 'Incredible' New Item

If there’s anything Costco members love, it's a good deal on fresh food. The popular bulk retailer's famed food court is what generally gets a lot of attention online, however, Costco’s sushi bar is not one to be left out. On any given day, members can take advantage of an array of freshly made in-house sushi rolls and other saltwater ingredients, all of which are usually available at a more than affordable price.

Fans of Costco’s fresh sushi, ahi tuna and sashimi platters alike are in for some good news this week as Costco has just started to roll out a hefty array of sashimi trays. Spotted by @costcohotfinds and quickly shared with the masses, the new sashimi tray offering is becoming readily available in select warehouse locations nationwide.

“Wow! Costco has sashimi and it’s 1lb,” @costcohotfinds wrote in their post. “Absolutely amazing!”

The new sashimi trays come packed with a whopping 1-pound of ingredients, including the likes of salmon, ahi tuna, hokkaido scallops, soy sauce, ginger and wasabi. The trays sell for $32.99 and customers online are already calling the price “incredible” and “such a great deal.”

One member from the Seattle area claimed that their local warehouse already had the trays available, stating that they “ate it all by myself” and admitting that they are “not sorry.”

The question as to which locations will be blessed with the new sashimi offering is still unanswered, leaving fans online with only the choice to speculate.

“Something tells me that this is only the downtown Vancouver location and not the others due to shelf life and strict regulations on temperature,” one hopeful commenter chimed in, “but I hope I’m wrong.” Another chimed in an attempt to keep the hope alive, stating that the fish used in the new sashimi trays are “3 fish that don’t require freezing before being served raw.”

While many were on board with the arrival of the new item, some were still not convinced. "Need cleaner cuts I rather thinner cuts more quantity," said one person. "Sushi in a plastic tray? 🤔 ingredients other than just fish? 🤔 hard pass," said another.

In any case, time will tell how vastly available the new raw fish offering will be. If your local has a sushi bar, chances are you might end up being surprised by the sashimi tray's presence in the coming weeks. Otherwise, you might have to get your fresh fish fix somewhere else in the meantime. Unless, of course, you and the family are trying to take a cross-country road trip.
