Best tuna out there! Young fatty albacore, low in mercury and a small local business.

I heard of St Jude's during pandemic. They were having an awesome sale on white albacore tuna in order to reduce storage costs since restaurants weren't ordering as much of their fish. $3 a pound, I mean what a steal! This local fishing boat is family-owned and operated. My friend had to wait in line for 5 hours to get three 12 lb behemoths. The fish was so good. I fillet it. Seared it. Ceviche'd it. Tartare'd it. Even though the fish was previously frozen, it tasted best fresh and raw. I can't wait to try some of their canned tuna! They have wonderful service. The woman on the phone was professional and nice when I had a couple questions about the sale. Thanks St. Jude's! Just keep swimming!

St. Jude Tuna is one of many local businesses that had to adapt to these unprecedented times. Normally their troll caught albacore tuna is sold to restaurants, but with most restaurants closed they decided to sell direct to the public. Thanks to social media I came across an article talking about St. Jude offering flash frozen sushi grade albacore tuna for only $3 a pound. Despite reading about 3-4 hour lines, I headed to Fishermen's Terminal about half an hour before they opened. There were already several hundred people in line before me. I almost left after a couple of hours not only due to the line not moving, but also because I was getting hungry. Thankfully there was a deli nearby to hold me over. Almost six hours later I finally made it to the front of the line. I ended up purchasing two tunas and picked up three of their famous canned tuna. Dinner that night was broiled collar and pan seared belly. It was so delicious! The tuna definitely lived up to all the hype. I can't wait to eat the fillets and to try their canned tuna. Be sure to stop by their booth at the Ballard Farmers Market.

I love this tuna- my favorite is pouches of the smoke variety. Great for hiking or camping. I can eat a whole pouch without adding anything. I wish I was closer to the the Ballard farmers market but I happily pay to ship it to my house.
