Albacore Tuna in Sauce

The tuna in Catalan sauce combines the best of Bonito del Norte with a traditional recipe that enhances its flavour without masking it. The sauce, made with a classic 'escabeche' marinade and paprika, complements the fish, respecting its firm texture and natural character.

Each slice of Bonito del Norte in Catalan sauce is prepared using artisanal methods, from fish caught one by one in the Cantabrian Sea. The result is a succulent, flavourful product, made with 100% natural ingredients, gluten-free and with a high Omega-3 content.

In addition to its balanced nutritional profile, this preserved tuna is a convenient option for any meal. If you enjoy intense flavours, also try our Bonito del Norte in 'escabeche', an alternative without paprika and with selected spices.

Since 1890, at Conservas Serrats we have been preparing Bonito del Norte in sauce using artisanal techniques passed down through five generations. We hand-select the finest specimens caught in the Cantabrian Sea and take care at every step of the process to preserve their flavour and quality.

Every tin of tuna in sauce reflects our commitment to the product: 100% natural ingredients and an absolute respect for the raw material. Because maintaining the essence of the tuna and offering you a healthy product is part of how we do things.

Bonito del Norte, or Thunnus alalunga, is the star of our preserves. It is caught one by one in the waters of the Bay of Biscay during the summer fishing season, using traditional fishing methods. Its intense sea flavour, its light-coloured meat and its properties have undoubtedly made it the king of tunas.

At Conservas Serrats, we select only the finest specimens, cook the loins and prepare them with our own recipe for Bonito del Norte in sauce, based on a traditional formula combined with other natural ingredients that provide its characteristic colour and flavour.

Once the finest specimens have been selected, the loins are cooked and carefully cleaned; we then add our special sauce, made from our own recipe.

This sauce, based on 'escabeche', paprika and other personal touches, gives the tuna its characteristic orange colour and a unique hint of flavour, without masking the natural taste of the fish. The result: a product with the artisanal seal of Serrats.

As with all our preserves, the final sterilisation process allows for natural preservation, without additives, maintaining the tuna's firm and succulent texture, as well as its nutritional properties.

If you prefer a more traditional option, you can try our, also made using artisanal methods, perfect for enjoying the flavour of the tuna.

One of the great advantages of tuna in Catalan sauce is its versatility and convenience. It comes ready to eat, which makes it an ideal option for both a quick meal and more elaborate dishes.

For an impromptu dinner, you can serve it with boiled potatoes or white rice, which perfectly absorb the flavour of the sauce. It is also excellent served directly on toast with green pepper and poached onion, adding an original and tasty touch to your appetisers.

Bonito del Norte in sauce is a product that is easy to incorporate into different recipes. You can use it as a filling for 'empanadas', where its sauce adds succulence and flavour to the pastry.

Another simple option is to serve it over freshly baked baker's potatoes. By letting it rest for a few minutes, the heat melds the flavours and creates a very complete dish, ideal to accompany with a young red wine.
