Culimer B.V. offers alternative to banned bluefin tuna

After the announcement of the European Commission to close the bluefin tuna fishing season early because of depleted stocks, Culimer B.V. as one of the leading tuna suppliers highlights not to supply the endangered bluefin tuna. The company's super frozen yellowfin tuna (-60°C) is not the same as, but is known as the closest alternative to bluefin tuna, reports www.megafishnet.com with reference to Culimer.

Tuna has an 'absolute 0 point'. When tuna is frozen at the ultra low temperature of -60°C, the quality does not deteriorate as in fresh or standard frozen condition. This technique brings huge advantages for the environment, resource, fishermen, distributors, chefs and consumers alike. As the Japanese markets have understood for a long time already, super frozen tuna offers stable pricing of top quality fish, comparable or better than the best fresh fish.
