Yellowfin Tuna

Our light meat tuna is characterised by its pinkish, firm and flavourful meat, which holds up well in various dishes without losing its texture. It is one of our most popular tinned products, and for good reason: its versatility and flavour make it a store cupboard essential.

We prepare it following traditional methods: precise cooking, cutting, cleaning by hand and artisanal packing; we take care of every detail to keep its natural qualities intact. We use olive oil for its mild flavour and for the nutritional benefits it adds to the product.

Among our range, the light meat tuna in olive oil is designed for those seeking that classic, authentic profile. And as with all our tinned products, we are committed to selective and sustainable fishing, which allows us to offer a high-quality product while respecting the marine environment.

We take care of every step, from the catch until the product reaches your table. We keep the time between catching and processing to a minimum to preserve all the properties of the light meat tuna, both in terms of nutrition and flavour.

During the process, we carry out a careful manual cleaning, in which we remove anything that does not add to the quality. Thanks to this level of detail in our processes, when you open our tinned light meat tuna or glass jar, you will find a juicy, firm product with the natural flavour of fresh fish.

Light meat tuna (Thunnus albacares) is a migratory species fished mainly in tropical and equatorial waters. After being caught, it is immediately frozen on board to preserve its freshness until it reaches our facilities.

At Serrats, we select only the fish that truly meet the quality standards we demand for our tinned products. This careful selection is key to achieving a consistent product: firm, juicy loins with the authentic taste of the sea.

Tinned light meat tuna has all the properties of oily fish, just like Bonito del Norte (White Tuna). By eating it, we get a multitude of vitamins, proteins and minerals. Vitamins A, B, K and D, and minerals such as calcium and iodine, make Light Meat Tuna one of the most complete and delicious foods on the market.

One of the most notable properties of light meat tuna is its high Omega-3 content, the quintessential fatty acid. Omega-3s are essential fats that our bodies cannot produce on their own and are vital in our daily diet.

Light meat tuna also helps to lower blood cholesterol levels and keep your brain in good health. If you are looking to strengthen your joints and bones and prevent cardiovascular disease, adding Light Meat Tuna to your diet is a great idea!

Tinned light meat tuna does not require any special storage conditions. You can store it in the larder or a cupboard.

However, once the tin or jar of tinned light meat tuna is opened, we recommend keeping it in the fridge, covered in oil, and eating it within three to four days.

Versatility is perhaps the most appreciated quality of tinned tuna. Open a tin and you instantly have, in addition to a great-tasting product, a source of protein ready to use in salads, pasta, rice dishes or on toast.

Perfect for when you're in a hurry, it allows you to prepare something quick without sacrificing flavour or quality. Whether in a fresh salad, on a slice of crusty bread with tomato, or as part of a more elaborate dish, light meat tuna adapts to your needs without any fuss.

With tinned yellowfin tuna you can make salads, stuffed peppers, cannelloni, pasties, toasts, rice dishes…
