Premium Southern Bluefin Tuna
Professional chefs and home cooks alike seek Southern Bluefin Tuna for its decadent flavour and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Long considered one of the most luxurious seafood ingredients, Southern Bluefin Tuna has become an increasingly valuable commodity, particularly because of its limited availability. Not only is the fishing season relatively short, but the strict quota limits on fisheries keep stock in short supply.
But that’s not a problem anymore! With Dinko Seafoods, you can enjoy the decadence of Southern Bluefin Tuna in all seasons with our ‘frozen fresh’ bluefin tuna.
Dinko’s innovative cryogenic technology
The team at Dinko Seafoods has always had a commitment to quality, sustainability and innovation.
Not only did we pioneer the tuna ‘ranching’ method, where we capture juvenile tuna in the wild and raise them to maturity in the ocean, but our team also invested millions into developing a custom facility that uses -60 Celsius freezing technology so that we can offer Southern Bluefin Tuna year round.
After years of seeking the right technologies and methods of production, Dinko Seafoods managing director Lukina Lukin found a way to offer sustainable freezing processes that maintain the flavour and freshness of this sought-after Southern Bluefin Tuna.
Safely established in pens out in the ocean off Port Lincoln, the Southern Bluefin Tuna enjoy a rich diet in their natural waters, with minimal stocking densities and a reduced ranching period ensuring the stock remains in perfect condition.
Once harvested, we portion the tuna, and the cryogenic freezing system comes into play. Similar to the ‘snap-freezing’ process, the fish are frozen within hours of harvest using a cryogenic freezing technology system (at -60 degrees Celsius) that takes just 45 minutes for fresh fish to be entirely frozen.
This unique process ensures we maintain the highest integrity of the flesh without the need for nasty heavy chemicals, such as CO2 gases, to preserve the fish.
By minimising cell damage, we maintain the culinary integrity, with the tuna retaining perfect texture, colour and flavour so that consumers can enjoy the famed delicacy all year round.
Perfectly packed and delivered
Our customers enjoy the freshest seafood delights, with all tuna products, as well as Dinko Seafood prawns and sardines, packed in our vacuum-sealed cryovac bags and transported in styrofoam eskies at -60 degrees celsius.
While we sell Dinko Seafood products at wholesale prices, small orders can become expensive when these specialised transport costs are added. To enjoy better value for money, we recommend placing orders of 5kg or more.
Available for purchase as steak, portions, loin or whole fish, our Southern Bluefin Tuna products are simply irresistible and ready to put straight in the freezer or thaw if you just can’t wait.
When you order our fresh seafood, you can rest assured it is free of all preservatives or additives. It looks, tastes and feels as if we caught it fresh today!
