Frozen Whole Round Tuna – Raw Material

For the canned tuna processing industry, tuna is usually frozen whole round on board of the fishing vessel, immediately after catching, without any change to its entire natural form. Commonly frozen at minus 18 Celsius. For restaurant businesses, whole round high value tuna is increasingly frozen at ultra low temperatures (minus 40 to minus 60 Celsius) to maintain the highest quality. In fresh form the whole tuna is kept chilled in ice at zero degree Celsius.
