Smoked Tuna and Sustainability: A Story Worth Sharing

For many, smoked tuna is new to the table. At Acme, we’ve spent years finding the right sourcing partners and fine tuning our recipe and smoking process to make the best, most sustainable smoked tuna product possible. In other words, we’ve crafted our new smoked tuna line with purpose. Acme’s commitment… Smoked tuna that is bold, balanced, and thoughtfully sourced from the very beginning.

Our Sesame Crusted Smoked Ahi Tuna isn’t just a crave-worthy smoked tuna product; it’s a reflection of our ongoing commitment to sustainable seafood. Wild-caught in the waters of Micronesia and the Western Pacific, our tuna comes from longline fisheries recognized by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), meaning it meets some of the highest sustainability standards in the industry.

So, what does that mean for you, the consumer? It means the smoked tuna in your grain bowl, salad, or sushi night didn’t just taste good, you did good, too.

Why Sustainability Matters in Tuna

Tuna are fast-swimming, migratory, pelagic fish that have long been a staple in global seafood cuisines. But over the decades, unsustainable fishing practices have put pressure on tuna populations worldwide. That’s where sourcing standards—like those set by the MSC—make a real difference.

MSC-certified tuna fisheries:

• Use methods that reduce bycatch (the accidental capture of non-target species).
• Operate within quotas that prevent overfishing.
• Are independently audited for ongoing compliance and improvement.

By partnering with fisheries that meet these standards, we’re helping ensure that future generations can enjoy tuna, and all seafood and ocean life, for years to come.

Thoughtfully Sourced. Carefully Crafted.

At Acme, we believe that how a smoked tuna product is made is just as important as how it tastes. That’s why we:

• Source from MSC-certified longline fisheries in the Western Pacific.
• Handle and fillet each tuna with precision to maintain quality.
• Cold smoke our tuna gently to preserve its natural richness and delicate texture.
• Season it with toasted sesame oil and coat it in sesame seeds for a balanced, satisfying bite.

Each 3 oz. portion of our Sesame Crusted Smoked Ahi Tuna is a flavor-forward, ready-to-eat smoked tuna option that aligns with some of the highest sustainability standards and crafted for making your best meals.

Big Smoked Tuna Flavor. Low Impact.

With 20g of protein per package, essential omega-3s, and key nutrients like selenium and vitamin D, this isn’t just a good-for-the-planet option—it’s good for your body, too. Low in fat and ready-to-eat for grab-and-go ease, what more could you want in a center of the plate option for a nourishing meal?

Whether you’re tossing smoked tuna in a salad, layering it on avocado toast, or eating it straight from the pack (we won’t judge), this is smoked tuna you can feel great about, start to finish.

Sustainability, the Acme Way

We know the journey from ocean to plate doesn’t happen overnight. It takes strong partnerships, traceable supply chains, and a commitment to do better at every step. That’s why we:

• Work with partners and fisheries vetted through third-party certifications.
• Audit our supply chain to promote transparency and accountability.
• Support education and engagement around responsible seafood.

“Sustainability doesn’t end at the source—it’s something we integrate into every level of our business.” —Alexandra Golub, Director of Sustainability, Acme Smoked Fish Corp.
