The Albacore tuna in this can was caught within 200 miles of the pristine coast of Vancouver Island. It was caught by captain Mike on FV Malahat II, where is was immediately “frozen at sea” at -60c. Once the freezer was full the Malahat II came to shore. It docked in Victoria’s inner harbour where it was unloaded by our hard working local team. The fish was then transported a short distance up island to St Jean’s in Nanaimo BC. The staff at this locally owned cannery then lovingly hand packed that fish into this can using only salt (and sugar in smoked) as preservatives. The cans came back to us at Finest at Sea in Victoria BC where we sell them in our shop and distribute them to other mindful retailers.
