The quality of frozen tuna is one of the most significant considerations. It poses a health risk if the quality of the frozen tuna is not good. Fresh Fish Direct ensures the availability of only the best grade frozen tuna.
Processing Tuna
For our frozen tuna, we use a special system of processing. Our tuna is quickly processed and packed after the catch. The tuna is frozen at a temperature of -60ºC within an hour after the catch. All through the transport of fish from the vessel, this temperature stays constant to guarantee the quality and freshness of the fish are preserved.
There is a relatively low temperature, and the pace with which the tuna is frozen is so fast that when defrosted, the fish have about the same quality as it was caught. Our frozen tuna will be delivered to the customers’ desires, guaranteeing 100% satisfaction.
Benefits Of Frozen Tuna
Tuna is rich in vitamin B12, an important vitamin that is required for DNA development. Vitamin B12 also allows the formation of new red blood cells and helps avoid anaemia. The high concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids in tuna will lead to a decline in omega-6 and bad cholesterol in the heart’s arteries. Studies also found that lower rates of heart diseases, particularly heart attacks, are linked with consuming more omega-3. It is also believed that omega-3s contribute to the protection of the retina.
It is also claimed that Tuna’s omega-3 fatty acids delay tumour cell development and decrease inflammation throughout the body. This is significant because chronic inflammation is associated with several cancer forms.
Tuna is a seafood that has lean meat. It is extremely rich in protein and low calories, keeps you feeling full and saves you from consuming more. Tuna, which is known for reducing blood pressure, is high in potassium. The anti-inflammatory effects of omega-3 fatty acids associated with potassium on the cardiovascular system reduce blood pressure and heart attack risk and stroke.
Tuna is abundant in zinc, manganese, vitamin C, and selenium, which boost the immune system. By resisting free radicals, these antioxidants shield us from cancers.

FAQs
Is frozen tuna good?
There is no denying that, for many, tuna is a preferred food. As opposed to fresh off the boat, thawed fresh-frozen tuna normally does not diminish in taste or texture, so don't ever hesitate to purchase frozen tuna from any local retailer. The best tuna is great for sushi or sashimi.
Can you cook frozen tuna directly from the freezer?
You may sear or barbecue them to make a tasty meal but add a few more minutes to the usual cooking time. Or, you can use the oven to cook the frozen tuna. Place in a kitchen foil then add a bit of water, brush the frozen tuna steak gently with olive oil. Cover loosely and placed on a pre-heated baking sheet for 30 minutes on the middle rack. Let it stand on for 1 minute then serve.
How to determine if frozen tuna has gone bad?
The easiest way to do this is to smell and checking the texture and appearance of the tuna. A sour scent, rusty colour and slimy texture are the indications of bad tuna; throw away any tuna with a foul odour or appearance that is quite off. You will still be able to tell whether the fish is ok to eat even when it's all frozen. Trow it if you see effects of freezer burn or whenever you see discolouration such as dark or grey patches. Along these, it might have begun to go bad if the fish seems very lightweight.
Before you cook, do you thaw frozen tuna?
When you're using frozen fish and seafood products, and you got a lot of time, you can fully defrost it before cooking. Place the frozen fish inside a bowl full of water. It will take about 30 minutes to thaw 1 pound of tuna before the tuna thaws completely. If you are not cooking the tuna right after you have thawed, seal it in the plastic wrap and lock it for up to 48 hours in the fridge.
Is frozen tuna safe for raw eating?
Look for a reliable fishmonger who is informative about the sources of their fish and how it is treated if you intend on having a raw tuna meal. Raw tuna is normally safe to eat because it is frozen, thus killing the parasites.
