Southern Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus maccoyii)

Stehr Group is a family-owned company spanning three generations with a heritage of over 50 years of fishing the vast open waters of the Southern Ocean. As pioneers in the SBT industry, the company has evolved to become one of the leading aquaculture companies in Australia. Stehr group is based in Port Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula which is widely acknowledged as a prime region for aquaculture and pristine water quality. SBT are intensively fed and harvested to supply high quality sashimi for the world market. We are a catch to plate company who control the entire process to ensure the highest quality product. SBT has a delicate flavour with soft to firm flesh and an attractive coarse grain. The low stress ‘Ike Jime’ harvesting method is used in production to maximise flesh quality. Minimal handling of fish ensures the highest quality produce and increases shelf life. SBT is well known for its high quality o-toro and chu-toro fatty cuts favoured by sushi and sashimi lovers. As with other seafood, the high omega 3 fatty acid content (‘good’ fats) have many health benefits.
