Get to know....Bonito Tuna

Bonito tuna are a group of medium sized fish in the Scombridae family.

Cal Fish Exports typically offers Pacific Bonito (Sarda chiliensis lineolata).  This fish is found from in the Pacific Ocean, from Vancouver island to Chile, although it is not normally found north of Point Conception.  The fish is a blueish/purplish color on top, and silver on the bottom.  It has about 10 stripes on its back.  These fish travel in schools and mainly feed on squid and and other fish.  They can get rather big: up to approximately 40 inches in length and 25 pounds.

Cal Fish Exports does have Pacific Bonito Tuna in stock and ready for shipment.  Contact sales@calfishexports.com for pricing and more information on current availability.
