Tuna
(jodari).
Indian Ocean tuna, including yellowfin, supplied whole, as loins or cut into steaks. Fresh on ice for nearby kitchens, frozen for distribution.
Overview
Tuna, jodari in Swahili, is a pelagic fish of the open Indian Ocean. Yellowfin (Thunnus albacares) is the species most kitchens ask for: dense, deep-red meat for steaks, grills and raw dishes. We supply tuna whole, as loins or as steaks cut to your portion.
