Police are seeking to identify two men who allegedly left a Coles with a trolley full of more than $1,100 worth of tuna without paying.
The bizarre incident allegedly took place at the supermarket in the North Rocks Shopping Centre, in Sydney's northwest, on October 7.
Two men were captured on CCTV leaving the supermarket with a trolley stacked with tins of Sirena tuna, according to Hills Police Area Command.
Products from the popular tuna brand retail for between $2.95 and $7.50, depending on the size of the tin.
Police appealed to the public for help in identifying the men allegedly involved in the 'fishy shoplifting incident'.
'Something fishy is going on at North Rocks,' Hill Area Police Command wrote in a post shared to Facebook on Wednesday.

The second man allegedly waited near the entrance before activating the entry gates, allowing his companion to make his 'great tuna escape' without paying.
'That's a lot of tuna. Even for someone who really, really likes tuna sandwiches,' police wrote.
Police shared images of the two men and called for anyone who may recognise either person to come forward.
'Police are keen to speak with anyone who may recognise either person or who may have information that could assist with our enquiries,' they wrote.
'Thanks for helping us reel this one in.'
