What Is Frigate Tuna (Frigate Mackerel)?
Frigate tuna (Auxis thazard) is a small tuna species of the mackerel family (Scombridae), found in warm tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. Known internationally as frigate mackerel and in Vietnam as Cá Ngừ Chù, it has firm, dark-red flesh with a rich, full tuna flavor. Because it is abundant, fast-growing and affordably priced, frigate tuna is one of the most widely used tuna species for canning, as well as for grilling, braising, drying and traditional cooking across Asian, Pacific and Western cuisine.
