The Tuna is a large, powerful ocean fish that bites at The Beach in Summer and Winter, and around Ginger Island all year. It is a tough catch with a solid price. The Tuna has more jobs than most ocean fish. It is one of the four fish in the Ocean Fish Bundle, and a gold-quality Tuna appears in the remixed Quality Fish Bundle. Demetrius may also ask for ten in a Summer Special Order. Finally, the Tuna is the named fish in Fish Taco, a dish that boosts Fishing.

The in-game description reads: A large fish that lives in the ocean.

Catching

At The Beach and on the Beach Farm, the Tuna bites in Summer and Winter from 6am until 7pm, in any weather. It is a daytime fish, so morning and afternoon trips to the docks are best.

Ginger Island removes the season limit. The Tuna swims in the ocean off Island West, Island South and Island Southeast, and inside the Pirate Cove. In those places it bites in every season, within the same daytime hours.

On the line, the Tuna has smooth movement but a high difficulty. It glides rather than darts, but its high difficulty still makes it hard to keep inside the green bar. The Cork Bobber widens the green bar, while the Trap Bobber slows the Tuna's escape. A gold or iridium Tuna for the Quality Fish Bundle is far easier with a Quality Bobber.

Magic Bait removes the season and time limits.

The fish can also be found rather than caught. Garbage Cans sometimes hold one in Summer or Winter, and the Traveling Cart may sell one for 300g to 1,000g.

Prices

A Tuna sells for a solid price. Iridium quality doubles it. The Fisher profession adds a quarter, and Angler adds half.

Putting a Tuna in a Fish Smoker with one piece of Coal doubles its price again, and the quality stays the same.

In a Fish Pond, Tuna reproduce every three days and produce Tuna Roe, worth 80g. A Preserves Jar turns it into Aged Roe worth twice as much.

The pond takes three Tuna to begin with and grows to ten fish over three requests. The first asks for Driftwood, a Frozen Geode or Seaweed. The second asks for Clams or Coral. The last asks for Aquamarine, a Mussel or Sea Urchins. Below five fish, the pond makes roe only part of the time. From five fish upward, every item it produces is roe.

Sell prices by quality, with the bonus from each profession.

Iridium	200g	250g	300g

Uses

The Tuna is one of the four fish in the Ocean Fish Bundle in the Fish Tank. The others are the Sardine, the Red Snapper and the Tilapia. Completing the bundle rewards five Warp Totem: Beach.

In a remixed game, the Fish Tank may hold the Quality Fish Bundle. That bundle asks for a gold or better Tuna, along with gold Largemouth Bass, Shad and Walleye.

Demetrius may post "Aquatic Overpopulation" on the Special Orders board in Summer and ask for ten Tuna. He hands over what the Tuna would sell for, along with the recipe for the Farm Computer. The Tuna's difficulty makes this one of the harder versions of the order, so Targeted Bait helps.

Fish Taco is the Tuna's own dish. Cooking a Tuna with a Tortilla, Red Cabbage and Mayonnaise makes it. Linus mails the recipe once he reaches 7 hearts of friendship. The dish adds 2 to Fishing for a few minutes and sells for 500g, far more than the Tuna inside it.

In the kitchen, the Tuna also counts as "any fish" for Sashimi, Maki Roll and Quality Fertilizer.

At the Sewing Machine, a Tuna in the spool makes a dyeable Sailor Shirt.

A Bait Maker turns one Tuna into Tuna Bait. Targeted bait raises the chance of hooking another Tuna.

Cooking Tuna with the other ingredients below makes these dishes.

Gifts

The Tuna is a poor gift. Willy and Leo count Tuna as a neutral gift. The same goes for the older residents Demetrius, Linus and Pam, and for the bachelors Elliott and Sebastian.

The older villagers Caroline, George, Jodi, Kent and Lewis all dislike Tuna. The Dwarf, Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard share that view, and so do the bachelors and bachelorettes Abigail, Alex, Emily, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam and Shane. The shop owners Clint, Gus, Marnie and Robin dislike it too, and so do the children Jas and Vincent.

Evelyn, Haley and Pierre hate it.

Notes

Keep one Tuna for the Ocean Fish Bundle and one for Fish Taco. A Summer morning at the docks can cover the Tuna and the Tilapia for the same bundle, since both bite in the morning.
