About F/V Sonja Albacore Tuna:
F/V Sonja Albacore Tuna is troll-caught along Pacific Northwest ocean waters, particularly off the Oregon Coast. Dave Stevenson is the owner and skipper of the F/V Sonja for over 25 years. A native Oregonian and lifelong commercial fisherman. F/V Sonja Albacore Tuna is the freshest tuna you can buy in a can. It is troll caught on the Pacific Northwest Ocean waters near Astoria, Oregon. Moist, tasty and nutritious, their tuna is all natural and loaded with heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, protein and minerals.

F/V Sonja's Fishing Methods:
Every F/V Sonja tuna is caught in Pacific Northwest ocean waters using the troll-caught (hook and line) method. Once caught, fish are "bled" and frozen immediately after landing to preserve quality. 

"Troll-caught" tuna refers to 3-to-5 year old albacore harvested by "trolling" jigs behind a slow-moving boat. No nets are used, and only surface-feeding fish from abundant stocks are targeted. This is an environmentally responsible fishing technique that is dolphin-free, dolphin-safe and results in little or no bycatch. Younger, troll-caught albacore have more beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids than older, larger albacore.
