| Did you know that today is International Sushi Day? 🌏🍣

Started as a Facebook fan page in 2009, it was later recognized by Chase’s Calendar of Events as an official celebration for Japan’s one of the most popular dishes.

Among the fish species most commonly used in sushi are yellowfin, bigeye, bluefin, and skipjack tunas; all prized for their flavor, texture, and versatility.

In 2025, the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) and its Regional Fish Ports (RFP) recorded significant tuna unloadings, highlighting the country’s vital role in supporting the global seafood supply chain. A total of 185,509.33 metric tons (MT) of skipjack tuna, 51,225.46 MT of yellowfin tuna, 1,365.48 MT of bigeye tuna, and 10.29 MT of bluefin tuna were unloaded across PFDA-managed fish ports.

This International Sushi Day, celebrate every bite, every roll, and every flavor combo. What is your go-to sushi? Share your favorite in the comments!
