Britain has its own tuna fishery off the South West coast where two local fishermen have established a sustainable commercial fishery.
Here are six reasons why you should be putting it on your menu this season:
Everyone loves tuna – It’s one of the top 5 most popular species in the UK
It’s a British fishing success story - We should be supporting quality produce from around our coasts where possible. As well as supporting British fishermen, it reduces carbon footprint
It’s under-utilised – Using a wider variety spreads demand, reducing the pressure on other species
It’s sustainable – Selectively caught from a well-managed fishery
It’s timing is perfect – Monsoons force up prices of imported yellowfin tuna during summer
Albacore tuna has excellent meaty flesh and great flavour
