A TASTE OF TUNA
Our SBT is sought after by sashimi and sushi chefs across the world. SBT has a delicate flavour with soft to firm flesh and an attractive coarse grain. The low stress ‘Ike Jime’ harvesting method is used in production to maximise flesh quality. Minimal handling of fish ensures the highest quality produce and increases shelf life. SBT is well known for its high quality o-toro and chu-toro fatty cuts favoured by sushi and sashimi lovers. As with other seafood, the high omega 3 fatty acid content (‘good’ fats) have many health benefits.

Southern Bluefin Tuna Management in Australia
The Australian Southern Bluefin fishery is closely monitored and regulated by the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA). The Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT) is the international body managing all quota allocations around the world, ensuring that wild stock is fished at sustainable levels. In the last decade, the CCSBT has introduced mandatory Catch Documentation Schemes, enabling the traceability of Southern Bluefin Tuna and ensuring that fish caught outside of the quota system can not be sold.
