Yellowfin Tuna: wholesale supply from Portugal
Supplied as loins, steaks and chunks for searing, grilling and processing. Histamine control is critical, so ask for lot test results.
Overview
Yellowfin Tuna (Thunnus albacares) is a lean species found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. Its flesh is dense and meaty, which makes it well suited to grilling, raw preparations (after freezing) and canning.
Gialmar supplies Yellowfin Tuna frozen. Lots are received, checked and stored at our IFS Food-certified plants in Tondela and Lajedo, so you can order from stock in Portugal all year round.
We supply Yellowfin Tuna to wholesalers, retailers, restaurants, caterers, processors and importers in Portugal and international markets. Every lot is traceable from origin to delivery under our HACCP plan and IFS Food certification. MSC-certified supply is available for specific lines only, so please ask before ordering.
Available presentations: Loins, Steaks and Chunks. To receive a quotation, tell us the presentation, size grade, glazing for frozen product, packing format, volume and delivery point. We do not publish a price list, because prices follow season and landings; we confirm them per order.
