Fishing Vessel: Tantrum No.1

The Tantrum no.1 is a Canadian Fishing Vessel based in Vancouver Island owned and run by Dave Chambers. What makes the Trantrum standout from other vessels is fact that is has very cold freezers which freeze the tuna very fast. The tuna is stunned and bleed as soon as the tuna is brought aboard while it is still live, then they washed put straight into the freezer.

The fishing method used on the Tantrum is Pole and Line. This method favored by North American Commercial fishermen is a low-impact and environmentally responsible fishing technique. For more on Pole and Line fishing click here.
