At Jensen Tuna, we were founded on the principle of treating our customers and community as family.
We have been giving fair prices to both our fishermen and our customers since 1987. We proudly call the Gulf of Mexico our home, and we know thousands of livelihoods depend on the wildlife that live in there.
That’s why we work with NOAA and other agencies to create longevity for us and our communities while providing the best quality fish in the South.
We are committed to fair and just processing of fish and seafood caught by our fishermen to give you the best quality for you. We’ve gone from fishermen to seafood processing over the last 30+ years, and we are dedicated to continuing to grow sustainably to keep our waters healthy.
Our Fishing Practices
The fishermen, crews, and boats we work with practice “pelagic long-line” fishing.
This method just means it’s a string of single lines that can catch one fish per line. This method has proven to be more sustainable and better for the fish. With this way of fishing, we only catch what we need, it’s less stressful for the fish bringing in better quality catches, and yields better fish since we don’t have any predators trying to eat fish as the fishermen pull up the line.
Sustainability Guidelines
Through our partnerships with NOAA and other wildlife researchers we’ve been able to create realistic regulations for the Gulf.
Sustainable fishing is possible and serves in our best interest as well as everyone who calls the Gulf home. We are dedicated to continuously finding new innovations to keep our waters healthy for our future generations.
We’ve gone from fishermen to seafood processing because we understand the hard work it takes to bring in a haul.
In this role, we are able to create a reliable support system for the hardworking fishermen. We recognize that quality extends beyond the catch; it encompasses the meticulous processing that ensures seafood maintains its excellence. By efficiently processing seafood, we aim to bridge the gap between fishermen and the discerning palates of its customers.
The company's success is underpinned by its unwavering dedication to both its customers and the fishing community. The symbiotic relationship between Jensen Tuna, its valued customers, and the hardworking fishermen has cultivated a large and loyal customer base among premier wholesale distributors.
