It is at the very end of summer that tuna season begins in Quebec. This highly prized fish, known for its dark, flaky, and tender flesh, is caught offshore in Gaspésie. These impressive tuna can weigh between 400 and 800 pounds, sometimes even more, and are caught using rod and reel. When a fish bites, fishermen may spend hours before finally bringing it onto the boat! Even if it sounds like the kind of fishing story your grandfather might have told, it is absolutely true. Here is a brief portrait of this fish, which grows more popular every year among restaurateurs and consumers across the province.
