Their Elite Tuna is school caught utilizing FAD-free purse seines to minimize bycatch and carbon footprint, and International Seafood Sustainability Foundation guideline.

Nutrition
Safe Catch tuna is not packed in water or in oil. In fact, they don’t add any sort of filler. They raw pack whole tuna in each can by hand and add nothing except salt (where noted). They pack this way (fresh-pack) to retain all the naturally available nutrients and Omega 3 oils. Everything that comes in each can is great to eat. 

Tuna is a lot more than just Omega 3s. Tuna has B vitamins, Niacin, Potassium, Selenium, Thiamin, and all nine essential amino acids. Now, as it relates to just Omega 3s, there seems to be a debate among the experts as to whether pills are effective. If you google “fish vs. Omega 3 pills” you’ll get both sides of the coin. Safe Catch is not an expert but they can say this, you’ll definitely get the benefits of seafood by eating seafood.

The Safe Catch Story

As childhood friends growing up next door to each other, founders Bryan and Sean never thought they would be working together and fighting for purity in our seafood and oceans. It all began when Sean's mom read an article about mercury variance in tuna and said, "Moms shouldn't have to worry about giving tuna sandwiches to their kids. Sean, why don't you solve this?"

After some research, they learned that two identical tuna, same species, size and school could vary in mercury levels by over 10 times. The only way to know the mercury level was to test every fish. Existing technology cost $100 per mercury test which would make a can of tuna cost about 50 bucks. So, they formed a team of talented software and hardware engineers and invented a new technology to rapidly test every fish for purity.

They went to major seafood brands and offered to test for them but they all declined. One executive told them that consumers wouldn't understand or care about better purity. So, Bryan and Sean did what any entrepreneur with zero experience in food would do. They started a new brand of tuna and named it Safe Catch.

They knew how to identify amazing tuna but they didn't how to make amazing tuna. They were surprised to learn that conventional tuna is precooked, rehydrated with fillers, machined processed and recooked and as result of so much processing it loses many vital Omega 3 oils, flavor and texture.

So, they searched for a better way to make and cook tuna. They found and adapted an old artisan method. At Safe Catch, they hand cut and hand pack each wild tuna steak into a BPA free lined can with no additives or fillers. Then, they slow cook it just once. It took them 75 different variations to get their formula perfect.

Bryan and Sean are so happy with the purity, quality, and taste. All of the vital Omega 3 oils and flavor are retained in Safe Catch tuna and there is no draining after opening. Open the can into a bowl, chop up the steak with a fork and let it reabsorb its natural oils. It's moist and delicious pure wild tuna as nature intended.

They hope you love it!
