Kali Tuna Expands Horizons With Brand New Plant in Hong Kong

Lauren Simmonds

Tuna reared in Kali tuna’s cages has now taken its place on the vast market of Hong Kong, China and East Asia, Zadarski.hr reports.

As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 7th of September, 2019, Jiro Kambe, the owner of Kali Tuna, has now founded Kali Tuna H.K. Co., Ltd, and the new tuna ”plant” for the market there opened there on Friday, September the 6th, 2019.

China’s “Kali Tuna” opens the day after the scheduled completion of Asia’s largest fishery industry trade fair, Seafood Expo Asia 2019, which was scheduled to begin Tuesday and run until Thursday, but was delayed due to the concerning situation currently playing out in Hong Kong.

J-Trading’s Hong Kong-based plant will, among other things, be equipped with ten very powerful freezers that store tuna at -60 degrees, the type which freezes the tuna immediately after being removed from the cage. In addition, there will be two large refrigerators to prepare the tuna steak for human consumption.

As Jiro Kambe said, the mission of this largest producer of high-quality tuna is to offer this premium product not only to luxury restaurants, but to all possible consumers across East Asia, including Hong Kong. And in the presentation materials, before the opening of the plant, the main emphasis is placed on quality and the purity of the sea in which the tuna was farmed, as well as that of the tiny blue fish that feed the tuna as they grow, such as anchovies and others that are the same as those frequently consumed by humans.

The tuna meat from the cages of Kali Tuna has long been on the tables of top restaurants across the world, not only in Japan, but from California to Dubai, where the local sushi restaurant Nobu, co-owned by the famous Robert De Niro, has been using the meat of Adriatic bluefin tuna for specialties for a couple of years now.

This business move of J-Trading and its affiliates, and of Kali Tuna itself to the vast market of Hong Kong, China and East Asia, has been one of the most important business moves since the very establishment of Kali Tuna, ie, the beginning of caged tuna in the Adriatic sea.
