What is Skipjack Tuna? π£π
Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), also known as cakalang, is one of the most widely caught and consumed tuna species globally. This fish is characterized by its slender, elongated body with dark longitudinal stripes on its belly. Skipjack tuna is known for its firm, dark reddish flesh, and strong, distinct tuna flavor. Its size varies, generally smaller than yellowfin or bluefin tuna, making it an economical yet nutrient-rich choice. ππ
Skipjack tuna are pelagic fish living in warm waters worldwide, including Indonesian waters. They are fast swimmers and often found in large schools, which facilitates large-scale capture. Skipjack tuna meat is rich in high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids (DHA & EPA), B-complex vitamins (especially B12), selenium, and niacin, making it a very healthy choice. ποΈββοΈπ§
Jarson Artha Utama ensures that the skipjack tuna we distribute is of the best quality: sustainably caught (in accordance with regulations), stored under optimal cold chain conditions from catch to your kitchen, with fresh, firm flesh, no strong fishy odor, and free from signs of spoilage. We offer skipjack tuna in various forms, whether whole fresh, frozen, filleted, or processed products like *cakalang fufu* (smoked tuna) or dried, meeting the highest quality standards for your culinary needs. π―π½οΈ
