Our Skipjack Tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) — Skipjack Tuna, the most widely landed tuna species along India’s coast, supplied Whole Round (WR) with larger fish Gilled & Gutted (GG) — is proudly sourced and processed under India’s MPEDA-regulated export framework. This product is engineered for consistent quality, full traceability, and culinary versatility, whether you are a retail distributor, a foodservice operator, or a specialty seafood importer.

Origin & Sustainable Fishing
This tuna is wild-caught in the open waters of the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal by pole-and-line and purse-seine vessels operating out of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and the Lakshadweep islands — fishing grounds long recognised for high-quality tuna landings.

Harvesting & Quality Control
Fish are chilled or brine-frozen immediately on board to preserve flesh quality on the return trip to port, then graded by weight and blast frozen at HACCP-certified plants to maintain the deep colour and firm texture the species is known for. Our standard export presentation is Whole Round (WR); the larger fish are supplied Gilled & Gutted (GG), leaving loining and steaking to the buyer’s own processing line.

Culinary Characteristics & Flavor Profile
Flavor: Rich, meaty flavour with a pronounced savoury depth.
Texture: Dense, firm flesh that holds up well to grilling, searing, and canning.
Appearance: Deep red to pink flesh depending on species and cut, with a glossy sheen when fresh.
