Over the last couple of weeks I’ve answered heaps of phone calls and emails from worried customers asking me where our tuna is from. “Is your tuna from Thailand?” “Where is Fish4Ever packed?” “I’m looking for tuna not from Thailand. Can you help?”

I’m always happy to say “Yes, I can help!”

“Our Fish4Ever tuna is sustainably fished using the traditional pole and line method, and it’s canned by the local community in a small cannery in the Azores”.

The callers sound relieved.

I often have a lovely chat about how our Fish4ever skipjack tuna is sustainably fished by local fishermen in the pristine waters of the Azores. And that one day I’ll get a chance to go over there! Charles who created Fish4Ever is out there a lot working closely with the local fishermen and workers.

It makes me happy that I know their story, I know their boats and know where and how they fish. I’m hoping everyone who buys Fish4Ever will be happy too!

With more and more people asking how their tuna got from the ocean and onto their plate, it’s no wonder the toxic tuna investigation has hit the headlines. I know that many brands process in Thai tuna canneries. And it worries me.

I love that Fish4Ever are proud to work with a small community that has the smallest boat in the global tuna industry.

 

Happily, the boats and method used ensure no damage is done to the marine environment too. And they process it fresh and at the source which is super rare these days! Hurrah!

Plus, only healthy, organic ingredients are used, including olive oil. The tuna is also free from artificial additives and colourings. Like Fish4Ever say “no point spoiling good fish with cheap rubbish!” Remember, Fish4Ever is the canned tuna you can trust.

What do you think about the toxic tuna debacle? And what tuna do you eat? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Eat well! Sandy (Food Warrior)

Ps here’s a great 2-minute video from Fish4Ever about their sustainability standards:
