Tuna fishing is new to Guyana but local business entrepreneur Pritipaul Singh has undertaken a US$15 million venture, which has seen success since it was established about six months ago.
The venture requires special techniques and Singh who said he always “like to have a challenge,” aims to meet the export market.
At the moment, he catches Yellowfin or Bigeye tuna, which is a delicacy especially in raw preparations such as ceviche, tartar or in a sushi roll. He has plans to sell the tuna locally but noted that the market may be very small.
