Tuna isn’t optimal for gifting as no one in Pelican Town likes it. However, a few of the villagers such as Demetrius, Willy, Sebastian, Elliot, Leo, Linus, and Pam are neutral towards receiving Tuna as a gift. Tuna is used for completing the Ocean Fish Bundle in the Fish Tank. For players withremixed Community Center bundles, completing the Quality Fish Bundle requires either one Gold or one Iridium-quality Tuna.
