What Is Longtail Tuna (Tongol Tuna)?
Longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol) is a medium-sized tuna of the mackerel family (Scombridae), found across the Indo-West Pacific. Known in the global canning trade as tongol tuna and in Vietnam as Cá Ngừ Bò, it has firm, pale-red flesh with a mild, clean taste and lower oil content than skipjack. It is especially prized for premium canned tuna — often marketed as “tongol” canned tuna in Australia, the USA and the UK — and is also used for loins, steaks, grilling and traditional cooking across Asian and Pacific cuisine.
