American Tuna, Inc. -

American Tuna is comprised of six fishing families from San Diego, CA. These families represent generations of fishing for albacore with the "pole & line" method. Our fishing families have been selling their albacore through buyers and processors. T... read morehe majority of our fish is exported to Spain. The Spanish enjoy the smaller fatty (high fish oil) albacore tuna. Unfortunately, the American consumer rarely had the opportunity to enjoy our albacore. As a group, we formed "American Tuna", did our homework and sent a sample to Whole Foods Market in La Jolla, CA. and Whole Foods Market in San Diego (Hillcrest). Whole Foods in La Jolla was our first store. As American Tuna grew in popularity we continued conducting consistent demos and educating the consumer on the difference of our product, the taste and quality, the high levels of Omega III, low mercury levels, no fillers, no broth, or water added, "once cooked" in its own natural juices and much more. Members of the American Albacore Fishing Association (AAFA) American Tuna’s six fishing families are members of the American Albacore Fishing Association (AAFA). AAFA is the client for the MSC(Marine Stewardship Council) certification. AAFA represents U.S. Pole & Troll Albacore Fishing Vessels. American Tuna’s families are some of the founders of AAFA. Our families felt that the Pole & Troll Albacore Fisherman needed a voice to tell their incredible story, the story of their heritage, sustainable fishing method, and families. By pursuing the MSC certification, our fishery would finally be recognized, world wide, as a sustainable tuna fishery. We are the first and only tuna fishery to be certified by MSC. Now our story is being told around the world and consumers can ask for pole & troll caught albacore. Every can/package/loin of albacore displaying the MSC eco-label can be traced back to the vessel that harvested it. American Tuna only supports fisherman using the Pole & Troll method and only processes albacore caught by AAFA vessels. This ensures our traceability and chain of custody will stay in tact, and gives our customers the ability to know exactly where there tuna came from, to know that the tuna they are eating are Small and Mercury Safe, and to know that the ocean is being protected.
