Tuna from Fish 4 Ever is about the best you can get. The fish in their tins is from sustainable sources, caught by a line rather than a net, and are canned within hours of catch. Thus, it’s ultra eco and tastes super fresh! The tuna in this tin is a variety called skipjack. It’s quite popular in Japan. It forms the basis of their famous fish stock, dashi. With each tin you buy, 10% of the money you spend goes to support local fisherman and their canning facility in the Maldives.
“Something like 80% of the global skipjack catch is caught with the dreaded purse-seiners setting on FADs,” our fish man, Charles Redfern tells us in the most passionate manner. “Now, purse-seiners (giant nets) and FADs (fishing radar detectors) may mean nothing to you, but to endangered species such as sharks, whales, mantra rays, billfish and turtles, these fishing devices mean an almost certain death.” Fish4Ever’s skipjack is unique in the fact that it’s caught by line only and it’s caught from waters in the Maldives with plenty of fish in it. Once it’s caught, it’s put into the tin straight away, at a local canning plant run by local people. This is rare – in many cases tuna is shipped to canning plants clear across the world! Beyond being the greenest, cleanest, most eco-friendly tuna you’ll find, Fish4Ever’s skipjack tuna also tastes fantastic.
