      It is more like saying Kobe beef. Tuna is a type of fish, so it not quite redundant. It just seems that way because most people know tuna is a fish. I hear it used a lot, so was just curious if it was a thing in some regions or not

        tuna is a fish not a marketing campaign, therefore, saying tuna fish is a pleonasm
