About

Natural Catch Tuna is a specialty seafood brand headquartered at 2683 Via De La Valle Ste G PMB 336, Del Mar, CA 92014, focused on premium canned yellowfin tuna and wild-caught seafood sold direct to consumers and through retailers like Whole Foods Market. Every can features hand-cut filets sliced in a steak-like presentation and marinated in extra virgin olive oil imported from Spain — a combination that sets the product apart visually and in taste from conventional canned tuna. The company handles all phases of canning, packing, and distribution in-house, cutting out the middleman markup that drives up prices at most competitors. All tuna is pole-and-line caught one fish at a time in the open Pacific, a method certified Dolphin Safe by the Earth Island Institute and designed to minimize bycatch of sharks, turtles, and other marine life. That harvesting approach also targets younger, surface-level fish, resulting in significantly lower mercury levels than longline-caught alternatives. The product line has expanded beyond the original yellowfin in olive oil to include White Albacore in organic extra virgin olive oil, White Albacore in water, Spicy Chili, Fiesta Salad, Sweet Bean, mackerel in organic olive oil, mackerel in shoyu, and wild sardines. Natural Catch holds a BBB A+ rating and is also available on Amazon. Each 4.4-ounce can delivers 20 grams of protein with zero carbs, making it a go-to for keto and paleo diets. The brand fits naturally into Del Mar's coastal food culture — grab a case and a cold drink from nearby Del Mar Liquor & Deli on Camino Del Mar before heading to the beach. Shelf life reaches 550 days per can, so stocking up makes sense.
