Frinsa
Frinsa's Yellowfin canned tuna is processed with olive oil, which dramatically enhances and improves the flavour of the fish over time.
This product uses pole and line tuna and the meat is removed upon entering the factory and immediately packaged into the cans. This method efficiently preserves the quality of the meat before it lands on your plate. This product is offered in two formats: single can or in a pack of three.
Frinsa uses tuna acquired from the Senegal pole-and-line yellowfin tuna fishery which uses only pole-and-line vessels. This supports their sustainability efforts as well as their initiative to provide healthy, delicious and high quality tuna products to their consumers.
