Pacific Fleet Brand Gourmet Albacore Tuna

American Tuna Company’s Pacific Fleet brand albacore is the freshest, healthiest, tastiest and most ecological canned tuna seafood containing essential Omega-3 oils that you can buy. Pacific Fleet uses environmentally responsible fishing using a low-impact Dolphin safe tuna fishing techniques. The young albacore tuna we catch do not have the same problems that larger, longline caught fish may have with high mercury content. Our albacore is caught by West Coast fishermen using small fishing vessels known as trollers.

It is the freshest seafood because the fish are deep-frozen at sea immediately after being caught. This process assures that no flavor-loss of any kind can occur. And, while many large canneries doublecook the albacore for processing convenience, we make the effort to process the tuna fish with only one cooking phase, allowing our gourmet canned tuna fish to retain its valuable and flavorful oils.

It's the healthiest because our canning process retains the valuable, heart-healthy Omega 3 oils that albacore tuna provides (essential for a healthy diet).  Also, our troll caught fish do not have the problems you may have been reading that larger, long-line caught fish may have with high mercury content.  All our surface caught fish average 10-18lbs.

It's the tastiest because albacore is truly the most delicious fish on the planet, and we treat every step of the process with great care to preserve that great flavor.  Albacore tuna is now being offered in many diverse recipes by leading chefs in the finest restaurants in the country and around the world.

And, Pacific Fleet albacore is the most ecological of any fishery.  There is no "by-catch" with troll-caught fish.  No dolphins, birds, or other non-targeted species are caught by our fishermen.  Trolling for albacore is viewed as one of the most sustainable and clean fisheries by organizations such as the Audobon Society, who has given us their highest rating.
