Cornish BlueFin Tuna
You must select a quantity to add to basket
The season runs from July until December!. All being well there will be good availability from the start of the seas until the end of the year but it will depend on how the fishermen get on!
We're going to be making the most of this catch and will be buying it whenever it becomes available. There is a small allocation of quota for Cornish vessels to land some of these stunning fish, but supply will be variable so it's best to get in touch by email info@passionateaboutfish.co.uk or text 07354 849465 and we can advise you on availability
A little information about this fishery...
For many years there was no tuna fishery in the UK, as stock levels were questionable. Over the last couple of years, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs have confirmed that a Defra-funded CHART programme in England to catch, tag and release Bluefin tuna gathered data and evidence on the species and the UK has been given a quota under an international conservation agreement. It will be a very strictly managed and monitored and there is hope that with robust management, we will see more of these beautiful fish landed in the future

This is not sashimi grade, so you will need to cook it. Keep it really simple - drizzle a little oil on the fish, season and flash through a hot griddle pan
