Overview

SEA 01Tanzania tuna

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.

Sourced in Tanzania

Tuna is landed along the Tanzanian coast and around Zanzibar. Species, sizes and availability follow the season and the catch; we grade on landing and confirm what is available for your order.
