This can of Albacore tuna (Thunnuns alalunga) is a must-have in the pantry. It tastes great and is so versatile. Sea Tales suggests that tuna preserved in water, like this can, is best used in cold dishes like a tasty tuna crunch wrap. Check out the Sea Tales website for more inspiration.

At A Glance

Pole-and-line!

Sea Tales ensures that all their tuna products are 100% pole-and-line caught. Because gear matters and pole-and-line caught fish means reducing bycatch, overfishing and plastic pollution. On top of that, this tuna fishery in Indonesia is Fair Trade certified. That guarantees that both the fishermen and factory workers are treated with respect, and have safe and fair working conditions. 

Giving back Sea Tales Foundation

By purchasing this product, you help giving back to the coastal communities that supply your fish. 

2018 marked the launch of the Sea Tales Foundation, running various projects around the world that contribute to small-scale fisheries and fish farms to help make them more sustainable. They want to ensure that the oceans remain a healthy source of food and income for all the people who depend on fishing as their livelihood: the fishers, the fishing communities, and their families. The Sea Tales Foundation is committed to keeping oceans healthy worldwide.

North Atlantic pole-and-line and troll albacore tuna

Atlantic Ocean
This fishery was established by the Spanish and French in the Bay of Biscay at the end of WWII. The original fishery operates in the summer months as this suits the migration patterns of the albacore tuna in the Atlantic. In 1970, the fishery expanded to operate off Morocco to cover the autumn months when the albacore tuna seek warmer waters.

Pole-and-line

This fishing method provides the most selective targeting of tuna possible, with minimal bycatch of non-target fish and marine wildlife like dolphins, turtles and sharks. Pole-and-line fishing targets schools of tuna near the ocean surface, and therefore only needs to use short lengths of line on each pole, typically  5-10m.

Albacore Tuna

Albacore tuna have particularly long pectoral fins, which inspired their name "Tombo" meaning dragonfly, in Hawaii. This species of tuna is an important contributor to the US canned tuna industry, but can be eaten in numerous different ways.
