SONJA

Albacore is the all "white" tuna. It is more delicately flavored and lighter in color than tuna labeled as "light." Albacore are plentiful in waters off Oregon in the summer and fall. The population is strong and healthy. Albacore tuna is highest in Omega 3 fatty acids of most all fish. It also does not have the high levels of mercury found in bigger, older fish used primarily by the major large canners... 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... F/V Sonja Albacore Tuna is troll-caught along Pacific Northwest ocean waters, particularly off the Oregon Coast. My name is Dave Stevenson, owner and skipper of the F/V Sonja for over 25 years. A native Oregonian and lifelong commercial fisherman, I take great pride and care of every tuna I catch. My wife and I make our home in Astoria, Oregon.
