TUNA

    During the summer and early fall,  the cold waters of the Northwest Atlantic attract schools of Yellowfin, Bigeye, Albacore, and Bluefin Tuna.  Our longline vessels catch these fat-rich, high quality tuna which are shipped fresh worldwide.  Deep Sea Fish ships only the finest sashimi grade tuna for sushi.  Our staff has over 20 years experience in the field of tuna grading .   The species we sell are:

       

Bigeye (Thunnus Obesus)- Bachi in Japanese.  Bigeye Tuna are premium sushi tuna and are in high demand.    

 
  
 
 
Yellowfin (Thunnus Albacares)-  Kihada in Japanese.  The Hawaiian name for Yellowfin, Ahi, has become synonymous in the U.S. with tuna steaks. Ahi is often listed on menus of American restaurants instead of Yellowfin.  
 

 
 Albacore (Thunnus Alalunga)-  Atlantic Albacore is most often sold in ethnic markets and can be found in either head-on or head-off form.   
 
 
 

SWORDFISH (Xiphias Gladias)

Swordfish are excellent grilling "steak" fish that have become increasingly popular in the United States.    We sell swordfish in the H&G form, ready to be resold in smaller pieces, or cut into steaks.    

SUMMER FLOUNDER(Paralichthys Dentatus)

Other names: Fluke, Hirame

A popular flatfish both in the United States and overseas, Summer Flounder, or Fluke, is found in the Western Atlantic from Maine to South Carolina.  Despite its seasonal name, Summer Flounder may be harvested year round although they do migrate to deeper waters during the winter months.

Summer Flounder is similar to Winter Flounder in both flavor and appearance, however, it is considerably larger in size, averaging 3-6 lbs           ( 1.3 -2.7 kg.).

Our fresh Summer Flounder is caught by trawling vessels and is sold in its whole form.    We ship to wholesalers in both the U.S. and the Far East.

Other seasonal species of fresh fish include: 

Please contact our sales department for more information about these species.  

Unloading Swordfish and Tuna from a long line vessel: 

Deep Sea Fish is proud to host a fleet of East Coast long line vessels who risk their lives following tuna and swordfish as they migrate throughout the Western Atlantic Ocean.   Every summer and fall,  these vessels come to our facility to offload their catch.    We unload each fish by hand  and transport them from the vessels into our facility with the utmost care.  Each fish is then individually examined before it is ready to be sold.  

Inspecting and Grading a Yellowfin Tuna:

Quality is based upon a variety of factors including fat content and color.  Each tuna is carefully examined by experienced tuna graders to ensure it meets our high standards.  Our tuna are 100% natural - they are never treated with C0₂ or other methods of altering the appearance of the fish.    Our tuna are sold to upscale wholesalers and restaurants here in the United States, or they are exported to Japan where they are sold at auction at the world famous Tsukiji market.
