From Boat to Can: The Journey of Oregon’s Choice Tuna
At Oregon’s Choice, we take pride in bringing you the freshest, highest-quality Albacore tuna straight from the pristine waters of the Pacific. But what makes our process unique? From the moment our tuna is caught to the second it’s sealed in a can, we ensure the utmost quality, sustainability, and freshness. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how our premium Albacore tuna goes from boat to can—and ultimately to your table.
Step 1: Wild-Caught in the Pacific Northwest
Our journey begins off the Oregon coast, where our Albacore tuna are caught using hook & line fishing methods. Unlike industrial fishing operations that rely on large nets, our approach:
Minimizes environmental impact by reducing bycatch.
Ensures peak freshness by handling each fish individually.
Supports local fishermen and sustainable fishing practices.
Step 2: Preserving Peak Quality
Oregon’s Choice offers two exceptional processing methods, ensuring the highest quality possible:
Fisherman’s Batch Tuna: This special batch of fresh Albacore is kept on ice and canned the same day it is caught, delivering an incredibly fresh and delicate flavor.
Traditional Oregon’s Choice Tuna: Our regular batches of Albacore are blast frozen at the peak of quality on the boat, preserving their nutrients, texture, and taste until they are carefully processed.
Step 3: Hand-Processing & Canning
Unlike mass-produced tuna, which often sits frozen for months before processing, Oregon’s Choice tuna is hand-filleted and carefully packed to retain its premium quality. Our process includes:
Careful selection of the best cuts to ensure superior taste and texture.
Raw-pack canning method, which locks in natural juices and nutrients without added oils or water.
BPA-free cans, preserving the integrity of the tuna without harmful chemicals.
Step 4: Natural Flavor, No Additives
We believe in keeping it pure—that means no fillers, preservatives, or artificial flavors. Our tuna is packed in its own juices, ensuring a rich, natural taste that stands apart from commercial brands that use added oils or flavor enhancers.
Step 5: Ready for Your Table
From the cold waters of Oregon to your pantry, our Albacore tuna offers unmatched quality. Whether you’re making a fresh salad, a protein-packed sandwich, or a gourmet seafood dish, Oregon’s Choice provides the best-tasting, healthiest tuna available.
