Tag: Tuna fishing

According to the Marine Stewardship Council, almost all the tuna we eat is caught from the wild. This includes skipjack tuna, which is the most abundant and commonly consumed tuna species globally, making it a wild-caught product rather than a farmed one.

StarKist has explicitly stated that all of its tuna is wild-caught, a policy that includes its albacore tuna products. This means the fish are harvested from their natural ocean habitats rather than being raised in controlled farm environments. This commitment is supported by stringent standards and a focus on sustainable sourcing.

As one of the world's top tuna exporters, generating billions annually, Ecuador has long been recognized as a major player in the global seafood market. But beyond the statistics, does Ecuador have good tuna? A combination of favorable oceanic conditions and sophisticated industrial practices has cemented its reputation for quality seafood.
