Frozen Bullet Tuna Fillet (Auxis rochei) is a versatile, competitively priced tuna fillet exported from Vietnam by Baseafood. Also traded as Tulingan (Philippines), Bonito (Europe) and Cá Ngừ Ồ (Vietnam), it is available in two grades — dark meat on and dark meat removed — in 100/200 and 200/300 g/pc sizes, IQF frozen for importers, processors, canneries and foodservice buyers worldwide.
Bullet Tuna is a small, fast-swimming tuna species with firm, flavorful flesh. In fillet form it is butterfly-split and trimmed, giving processors and kitchens a ready-to-use cut with minimal preparation. The species is known across markets as Tulingan (Philippines), Bonito / Bonitou (Europe), Cá Ngừ Ồ (Vietnam), マルソウダ (Japan) and 圆花鲣 / 双鳍舵鲣 (China). For species background, see the Auxis rochei reference.
The key choice for buyers is whether the fillet retains the dark meat (the red bloodline running along the lateral line) or has it trimmed out. Each grade suits different applications and price points.
