Tuna is a highly prized and widely consumed fish that has become a staple in many cuisines around the world. This ocean-dwelling fish belongs to the Thunnini tribe and is known for its streamlined body, powerful swimming abilities, and rich, flavorful meat. Tunisia’s extensive coastline along the Mediterranean provides an advantageous position for tuna fishing. The country boasts a thriving tuna fishing industry that contributes significantly to its economy.
Tuna is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins (such as B12 and D), and minerals (including selenium and iron). It is known for its heart-healthy properties and contributes to overall well-being.
The fish is a popular choice for sushi and sashimi due to its clean and robust flavor. Tuna steaks are frequently grilled or pan-seared to perfection, creating a caramelized exterior while maintaining a tender, rare interior. Tuna is also commonly canned and used in various dishes, such as salads, sandwiches, and pasta.
