Skipjack tuna in water with a touch of seasalt

This is skipjack tuna in its purest form. Not only because the fish is caught in a traditional way, with a pole and line, but also because we only added water and a sprinkle of sea salt. This makes you taste the purest flavor of the fish with every single bite.

Origin

This skipjack tuna comes from Indonesia's North Celebes province. That area covers less than 1 percent of Indonesia in terms of area, yet more than half of the country's fish catch comes from there.

Fish with a story

Indonesia's tuna fishery is one of the largest in the world. More and more tuna is being caught responsibly using only a pole & line, such as in Bitung. Together with the International Pole and Line Foundation (IPNLF) and the local fishermen, we at Sea Tales worked hard to get this fishery Fair Trade and MSC-certified.

Fishing method

The tuna fishermen from Bitung fish with pole & line. One by one, fish by fish. When it’s time, the fishermen all stand on the back of the boat with their rod. Each caught tuna is swung to the back.

The tuna fish is caught by putting the net over the full width of the boat. The good thing about this traditional method is that they only catch real tuna. There’s no by-catch nor environmental damage - and because many fishermen are needed for this method, it creates jobs and provides for the small coastal communities.

Straight from the ocean

At Sea Tales we want you to know what the origin is of your fish and what has happened between the catch and your frying pan. We believe that a fully transparent chain makes it easier to choose for fair products - and to enjoy your fish totally guilt-free.
