Tuna Puns

Tuna puns! A tuna is a marine fish that’s closely related to Mackerel, and is known for being one of the fastest open-water fish in the ocean. It’s particularly special because it is one of only two fish species that are warm blooded (and there are a lot of fish species!). It’s also one of the few fish species that gets its own entry on Punpedia!

You might also like to check out the Punpedia entries on fish punsshark puns, beach puns and water puns for related wordplay. This entry is focused mainly around wordplay with the word “tuna”.

As with all entries on Punpedia, if you’ve got a great tuna pun, you can post it in the comments and one of our curators will add it to this entry.
