some of the heimishe write clearly on tuna that it’s mashgiach temidi but I haven’t seen them write it on lox.

All Tuna with a heimishe hechsher (and OU-P) has a mashgiach temidi and bishul yisroel. Tuna is a much bigger issue than salmon, because it doesn't have the color as a siman.

I understand that but I would expect them to write it on lox if they indeed have a mashgiach temidi

Hisachdus required MT

Hisachdus required MT

just for clarification purposes... Only once the fillets are skinned. This can happen immediately before slicing and packing which significantly cuts down on hashgacha costs
If the fillets are skinned and then cured, hashgacha costs skyrocket

I don't think the color can help once it is cured.

Makes sense as the requirement for MT is for the simanim, I never thought they would slice after curing.

Are any others requiring MT?

So those that accept the color as a siman, it must be cured and packaged with a mashgiach, albeit without skin?

slicing always takes place after curing. Skinning and trimming, sometimes
