Processed & Value Added Tuna

Processed & Value-Added Tuna Products – Elevating Vietnamese Seafood to the Global Market

In the modern seafood industry, Processed & Value-Added Tuna products have become a powerful growth driver for exporters seeking to increase product value and market reach.

Astra Aqua International Co., Ltd. proudly leads Vietnam’s tuna processing and export sector with a diverse range of Processed & Value-Added Tuna products, including Canned Tuna and Tuna Tataki — two flagship items that represent quality, convenience, and innovation.

Every product is carefully developed to meet the needs of global consumers — from Japanese restaurants to major supermarket chains across Europe, the UK, the US, and Australia — bringing the unique taste and nutritional excellence of Vietnamese tuna to international tables.

The Role of Processed Tuna in Global Exports

If fresh or filleted tuna represents the foundation of the seafood supply chain, then Processed & Value-Added Tuna is the next strategic step — one that enhances product longevity, increases profitability, and aligns with modern consumption trends.

Processed & Value-Added Tuna products like canned tuna and tuna tataki reflect the global shift toward convenience, safety, and sustainability — key factors driving consumer choices in both retail and food service sectors.

Thanks to its advanced processing facilities and strict international certifications, Astra Aqua has become a trusted partner for global brands seeking reliable, high-quality value-added tuna from Vietnam.

Canned Tuna – Convenience and Nutrition for Every Meal

Canned Tuna remains one of the most popular Processed & Value-Added Tuna worldwide. With a rich flavor, high protein content, and long shelf life, canned tuna is a kitchen staple — suitable for salads, sandwiches, and ready-to-eat meals.

Each product is made from freshly caught tuna, processed and canned under international standards to ensure the highest safety and taste consistency.

Advanced International Processing Standards

Astra Aqua’s canned tuna is produced in a modern facility certified by HACCP, BRC, ISO 22000, and FDA, following a fully automated production line:

1. Selection of export-grade tuna with optimal fat and texture.

2. Steaming under controlled pressure to preserve nutrition.

3. Manual trimming to remove skin, bone, and connective tissue.

4. Automatic canning in sterile environments.

5. High-temperature sterilization for a 2–3 year shelf life.

Astra Aqua guarantees non-GMO, preservative-free, and additive-free products, fully compliant with the strictest import standards of Japan, the EU, and North America.

Tuna Tataki – The Refined Taste of Japanese Cuisine

Product Introduction

Tuna Tataki is one of the most iconic Processed & Value-Added Tuna products, prepared using a traditional Japanese technique: the tuna is seared quickly over a high flame, leaving the outer layer lightly cooked while maintaining a raw, tender core.

This process creates a perfect balance — a smoky aroma outside and a fresh sashimi-like texture inside. The result is a delicacy ideal for sushi, sashimi platters, poke bowls, or fine dining experiences.

Astra Aqua is among Vietnam’s leading producers of Tuna Tataki, exporting premium-grade products that meet the expectations of top Japanese and Western culinary markets.

Tuna Tataki Production Process

1. Selection of Sashimi-grade Yellowfin or Bigeye Tuna.

2. Cleaning and trimming for perfect block or loin shape.

3. Rapid searing using flash-grill technology at 800–900°C for just a few seconds.

4. Immediate cooling through blast freezing to preserve freshness.

5. Vacuum packaging and deep freezing at -40°C for optimal quality retention.

Astra Aqua’s Tuna Tataki can be served directly after thawing — maintaining its natural color, rich flavor, and sashimi-quality texture. It is widely favored by restaurants in Japan, South Korea, the EU, and the US.

Export Opportunities for Tuna Tataki

• Asia: High demand from Japan, Korea, and Singapore for authentic tataki-style products.

• Europe & the UK: Served in premium Japanese and fusion restaurants.

• The US & Australia: Increasing popularity among health-conscious and gourmet consumers.

Astra Aqua exports Tuna Tataki in convenient packaging sizes (200g–1kg), suitable for both HORECA channels and retail distribution.
