our insights

For the Ocean, for Life



The Ocean is home to an astonishing diversity of life. Indeed, all living things on the planet—plant, animal and human—descend from the sea.

J Lun's origins are also rooted in the Indian Pacific Ocean. Since our founding in 2011, we have pursued resourceful, sustainable and high quality fishing practices, building on our success in seafood exports.

Our mission is to bring vitality to people around the world through seafood. We also believe that as our business develops, we have a duty to protect the ocean’s countless ecosystems and the global environment for future generations. This duty is encapsulated in our company branding statement: “For the ocean, for life.” We are committed to establishing a sound ecological future for societies around the Island.



Sustainability to feed
the Generation to Come



Sustainable tuna fishing in Sri Lanka involves using environmentally friendly practices like pole-and-line fishing, which minimizes bycatch and habitat damage. Promoting responsible handling and catch-and-release for non-food fish helps preserve fish populations for the future. Improving post-harvest practices, such as refrigeration on boats, is crucial to reduce waste and improve fish quality. Regulations, such as size limits, and the use of less harmful gear like circle hooks are also important for sustainability. Seafood Sustainability is our foremost responsibility. At J Lun we prioritize the health of our oceans and the future of the seafood industry. Our commitment to sustainable sourcing, responsible fishing practices, and the well-being of marine ecosystems is unwavering. With every product, we aim to strike a harmonious balance between your culinary pleasure and our duty to protect our oceans. Join us in making a difference, one delectable, sustainable bite at a time.

Tuna varieties





Major tuna catches in Asia include species like yellowfin, bigeye and albacore tuna. Fishing methods vary but most commonly involve industrial techniques like purse seine and longline fishing, though smaller-scale methods like handlines, pole-and-line fishing, and using Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) are also widespread, which contributing to the economy and food security of countries.


Sri Lanka is widely known for its rich yellowfin and bigeye A grade sashimi exports world wide.



TUNA SASHIMI CUTS





Tuna sashimi loins are cut from different sections of the fish, most commonly resulting in three types:


Akami: This is the lean, red muscle from the main part of the tuna. It's the most readily available and affordable cut, offering a rich, meaty texture with less fat.

Chutoro: Situated between Akami and Otoro, Chutoro is a medium-fatty cut that provides a balance between the lean meatiness of Akami and the richness of Otoro.

Otoro: The most luxurious and expensive cut, Otoro comes from the fattiest parts of the belly and is known for its high-fat content and melting texture.
