CASTAWAY ALBACORE TUNA
UDATED 2024
We regret to inform you that, due to the fast arrival of the fall season, we will not be conducting dock sales this year. We look forward to dock sales in the future.
However, we have exciting news on the horizon! We’re thrilled to announce that we will soon be offering our very own line of canned tuna, made with the same care and quality you know us for.
Additionally, this new product will mark the launch of our refreshed brand, including a brand-new logo. We can’t wait to share this next chapter with you, so stay tuned for more updates and details about when our new products will hit the shelves. (This will not replace dock sales, we will do them when conditions allow us too.)
Thank you for your continued support!
We are a small, family-run business with deep roots in the fishing industry. Joshua Moore has been fishing his entire life, learning the trade from his father, Jim Moore, aboard the FV ALJAC.
From 1992 to 2004, Joshua owned and operated the fishing vessel Vulcan. In 2004, he purchased the FV Castaway, with the long-term goal of pursuing tuna fishing. Over the years, Joshua has longlined for halibut and sablefish IFQs, and trolled for salmon until 2009. By 2012, he decided it was time to equip the Castaway for albacore tuna fishing along the West Coast, from Washington to Oregon and California.
With state-of-the-art technology and a custom-designed freezer system, Joshua has been delivering high-quality seafood to market for over 20 years. In 2014, he saw an opportunity to expand into Alaska, where he enjoyed meeting new customers and reconnecting with old friends throughout Southeast Alaska. His wife, Victoria, and son, Alex, joined him in selling fresh tuna directly off the boat in Juneau and Sitka.
The Moore family remains dedicated to bringing something unique to your dinner table. Keep an eye out for updates, both here and on Facebook, to find out when they'll be in your town in Southeast Alaska!

Canning
The basic instructions are:
“For raw pack tuna, no added liquid is needed. Salt is optional. ( if you choose to add salt its just a small pinch) Adjust lids. Process half-pints and pints for 100 minutes at 10 pounds pressure (weighted gauge) or 11 pounds pressure (dial gauge). Increase pressure for higher elevations (see table in your canner booklet).”
4.5 pounds of loin meat will make 12 half pints
