About
one percent of tuna comes to the market to be sold fresh. The rest goes to the cannery;
Did you know canned tuna is America's most popular fish? If you haven't yet
tried fresh tuna, you're missing one of the best meals to come from the ocean.
Tuna dates back only to 1880 in print
and is attributed as a Spanish American derivation of the English counterpart, tunny. Tuna has been fished from the
warm, temperate parts of the Mediterranean Sea and the Pacific, Atlantic, and
Indian Oceans since ancient times. As a member of the mackerel family, tuna
naturally has a stronger, more robust flavor than whitefish.
Tuna
are able to cruise up to 55 miles per hour, and they are constantly in motion.
To keep this speed machine going, the tuna eats up to ten percent of its body
weight daily. Depending on the variety, weights average from 10 pounds up to
600 pounds per fish. The majority of the commercial tuna harvest comes from
California. The average consumption of tuna in America is 3.6 pounds per
person, per year, most of which is canned.
