Number 1 Tin of 2025 is
'Cornish Bluefin in Cornish Butter'
Canning the Bluefin 2026 NOW, however, I have to prepare my boat for the oyster season and I want to create stock so that I can ship on order. While I was delighted for all the orders in August, I was sad to let a few of you down, so no more 'pre-orders' for a bit while I catch up with stock... best sign up to newsletter to be first to know!
The AKAMI meat is about 70% of the fish, CHUTORO around 20% and OTORO maybe 10%... For traceability, my process is one bluefin at a time, so, you could wait longer for CHUTORO and OTORO
When you order, you will confirmation email that says "48hr Tracked Delivery", but that does't mean it will be with you in 48hrs of order, please wait for a second email with notification of fulfilment. When shipped, the tracking is usually added automatically. Hope that makes sense 🤓
I am canning Bluefin throughout August, September and October, but it is 'fishing' so depends on landings and demand, so may take up to 30 days to dispatch, if a variant is not currently in stock.
I will hold all unfulfilled order values until fulfilled, and will refund in full if I fail to dispatch within the 30 days (unless requested by you to hold off, if you're away)
When I started canning my own rod & line caught Cornish Bluefin Tuna in November 2024, I had no idea it would become "the first tuna ever to be canned in the UK" according to Fishing News... I also had no idea 'tinned fish' was becoming a trend, I just set out to can my catch...
Some of you have waited since October 2025 for this, some more recent, I have waited too, the last Cornish Bluefin in Cornish Butter sold out in 12hrs, thanks to
@TinnedFishReviews
and was awarded
"Number 1 Tin for 2025"
...but unfortunately it was the last fish for the 2025 season for me...
So, I am delighted to announce the 2026 UK Bluefin fishing season has started and the new 'processing room' is finished!
As my health isn't 100%, and as my ol' school mate didn't get his name picked out of the hat this year, my plan is to work with several registered 'Cornish Bluefin' vessels and buy direct from them this season, so hopefully I will have more stock throughout the summer, but sadly unlikely to be reeling them in myself...

Why Choose Our Bluefin Tuna?
Unlike mass-produced tuna, each can contains premium cuts from sustainably caught Cornish bluefin. You're not just buying tuna - you're supporting traditional Cornish fishing and enjoying exceptional flavour.
*Why is the OTORO £50?
Well I got some advice, and as there is only around 10% of this cut on the whole fish, this must be a premium price, and while I may see fluctuations in cost of fish per kg, I have also incurred other costs rising, but I am keeping the AKAMI and CHUTORO at 2025 prices...
Also, I really need to invest some funds in my oyster boat,
Alf Smythers, the one on the tin...
As I have been focusing on the Bluefin and Sardines, I have neglected her for the past two years, hence no canned oysters or mussels, and while I would be happy to fish with her this season, my health isn't allowing that, so I must do some fairly serious maintenance, and pass a survey, before she can be hired out to others to fish her... I will put £10 from each order of
Premium Cut OTORO
towards Alf Smythers,
remember £50,
less £6 P&P, less £10,
isn't much more than the other cuts...
Mast out, haul out, 1 month on the quay, 1st survey (when on the hard) and 2nd survey (when finished, to validate insurance report), is around £2,000 before materials and labour... 117 have already helped us so she is being hauled out 09/09/2026! Support 'Alf Smythers' buy pre-ordering the OTORO (and sign up to newsletter in footer) to get news of the first of the 2026 'Cornish Native Fal Oysters' in tins when they are available again...
So I hope you will share the support for Alf Smythers, and grab yourself one of these very rare tins at some point soon, or, if you feel inclined to support another way, then please use the 'Tips' section when you checkout, oh and please subscribe in footer!

Our canned shellfish is suitable for ambient temperature storage, but you can always chill it in the fridge too
If our products are 'out of stock'...
We are Cornwall's, and England's, first in-house cannery for decades... and currently just a small batch cannery, being the 1st has had some significant challanges, and we only have limited funds to investigate them. We currently only manufacture our canned products when seasonal availability allows, so please be patient as we develop and tweek our product range. If you would like to get involved, maybe as an investor, to develop our business strategy and help us accelerate quicker, then please use the contact form, thank you!
