Our Yellowfin Tuna is caught in the South East Atlantic before being hand filleted keeping only the very best pieces of the fish. These fillets are then put into a -60ºC freezer aboard the vessel shortly after being caught.
The -60ºC loins are received by our supplier and processed using one of two specialist machines in South Africa to remove any bloodlines and bones leaving you with the only the cleanest pieces of the fish.
