37 boats. That’s it. 🇦🇺🐟

When you hear tuna fleet, you might picture something enormous. But the reality? Just 37 vessels fishing one bloody big ocean. 🌊

And here’s the bit people often miss: 37 vessels doesn’t mean 37 boats are out there fishing every single day. Boats come and go with seasons, weather, maintenance and fishing conditions. 🐟

When they are out there, our tuna fishery is managed, camera monitored, tracked and backed by science. 📊

Small fleet. Big ocean. A LOT of oversight. And some seriously good tuna. 🤌

Our fishers make their living from these waters. Looking after them isn’t a marketing line it matters to the future of their families, their businesses and the fishery they love itself.

Australian tuna. Science backed. Highly monitored. Proudly fished. 🇦🇺🐟

Know where your tuna comes from. Know the people who catch it.

Eat Australian tuna.

Australian seafood doesn’t stay world class by standing still.

Our industry is built on science, transparency and continuous improvement. Even in one of the world’s most highly managed fisheries, we continue to invest in research and innovation to further improve fishing practices and reduce interactions with protected species.

This latest work by Tuna Australia and FRDC is a great example of industry led research delivering real outcomes for our oceans, protected species and Australian fishing families.

Healthy oceans are essential to healthy fisheries, and no one has a greater interest in protecting them than the people whose livelihoods depend on them.

Struggling to open our jars? We’ve got a hack for that! 😉🥄 Just wedge a teaspoon between the jar and the lid, give it a gentle lever until you hear a POP, and voilà! Dive straight into 100% Australian-caught tuna. Easy peasy! 💙🐟✨

WE DID IT. 🥹 Last night Little Tuna won the 2026 National Seafood Industry Promotion Award.

After winning the Queensland title earlier this year we are incredibly proud to now be named the national winner recognising the work of promoting Australian seafood, building consumer awareness and getting more Australians to choose local.

And that tuna legends, means you made it possible. Every time you tag us, share a story, drop a comment, tell a mate about Australian tuna or pull a jar or tin off the shelf, you send that message further. And boy do we notice you all. We know the regulars. We spot the new recruits and we bloody love every one of you.

For 11 years we’ve kept showing up to champion Australian tuna and the people behind it, the fishing families, skippers, coastal communities, science, sustainable fisheries and nutrition behind every jar and tin.

We’ve filmed life at sea. Opened the factory doors. Answered the curly questions. Shared the real story of Australian seafood because Australians deserve to know where their food comes from and the legends who caught it.

So while our names are on the award, this win belongs to a much bigger crew.

To our team, fishing families, retailers, customers and everyone who has helped tell this story… thank you!

This was never just about selling tuna. It’s about making sure Australian tuna continues to have a place in your carts, on your table and in your homes ❤️

We're a NATIONAL FINALIST, and we're really struggling to play it cool right now, because… could this be it? Have we officially convinced Australia that TUNA. IS. COOL?! 🙌

Little Tuna has been named a National Finalist in the 2026 National Seafood Industry Awards! AKA the category for getting Australia talking about Australian seafood. AKA the thing we've been (very happily) obsessed with for years. 💙

We're proud as anything of this one, because this is the work we choose. Every day our team shows up to champion Aussie tuna: the fishing families, the skippers, the coastal communities and the sustainable fisheries behind every jar and tin. We film it, we write it, we share it, we answer the curly questions, and we back Australian seafood with everything we've got. 🇦🇺🌏

And getting that message out there? Bloody hard. 📲 Social media is noisy, mixed messages are everywhere, and cutting through with the truth about Aussie seafood takes a team that turns up week after week and genuinely loves this industry.

So to have that recognised nationally, in the top 3? Honestly, it means the world.

You're a massive part of this. Every like, share, question and jar or tin off the shelf sends these stories further than we ever could on our own. Together we're making Australia that bit prouder of what's caught right here at home.

Winners are announced next week in Sydney and however it lands, we're walking in proud. Huge congrats to all the finalists making noise for Aussie seafood. What a line-up to be part of.

See you in the (very cool) tuna aisle. 🐟
