Big Eye Tuna

It is the tuna from Azores Island. Being a migratory fish, captures occur specially between July and November. It’s caught one by one, by a technique called the “salto e vara”, that was awarded with an environmental stamp, the “Dolphin safe” and “Friend of the Seas”.
We always try to select the tunas with the best fat and the last ones caught before the boat returns to shores, so we can bring to you the freshest, shiniest and tastiest exemplars.
The meat is soft and juicy and its belly is getting more appreciated gastronomically every day.
