Tuna Availability


Current Tuna Prices

Prices necessarily are affected by the dock price, which changes year to year depending on many factors. International interest in our North Pacific Albacore, which recently achieved Marine Stewardship Council approval, a much higher health rating by the government, and a slow rate of catch this season, has put upward pressure on the base price. This year, the dock price soared by 65%, making a slow year a little more profitable for the fisherman and mitigating higher fuel costs. However, this also means we’ve had to raise our wholesale and retail prices a bit to reflect the higher base cost. That’s life!

The 25 lb. boxes are now in stock with this year’s just-caught fish, and are box price of $18 per pound in stock now, can be picked up in Vancouver. We supply many independent stores, farm markets, etc. We have wholesale pricing and good shipping rates. .

Bruce and Dianne Devereux started selling Albacore tuna at the Comox Valley Farmer’s Market in the fall of 2006 and have steadily built up a faithful clientele of Albacore tuna aficionados in the past year. Thank-you, loyal customers! Really, once tried, the product sells itself so it has been a fun and rewarding experience for us. The Comox Valley Farmers’ Market is a wonderful venue for food-lovers and vendors alike, with a friendly, small-town-square atmosphere, excellent products, knowledgeable source vendors and some great local music. There is everything for sale there from apples to wasabi, delicious baked goods to venison pepperoni and wild-caught salmon, as well, of course, as our premium quality, wild BC Albacore tuna.

Every Saturday we will be at the Comox Valley Farmers Market. April to Thanksgiving, it is located on the grassy field beside the Exhibition Grounds at 4835 Headquarters Road, Courtenay, British Columbia between 9AM and noon. After thanksgiving, this market then moves indoors to the Native Sons Hall at 360 Cliffe Avenue, downtown Courtenay, until the last Saturday before Christmas, and continues in January to April.

The Wednesday summer market is located at the Comox Valley Band Hall, and we will be there in July and August. For more information, visit the web site at www.CVFM.ca
