Northern Albacore Tuna, healthy and delicious


Now that we are in the middle of the "Bonito fishing season," what better time to talk about the properties of this white tuna caught in the Cantabrian Sea? It is one of the healthiest blue fish and most prized for its numerous benefits.

What is Northern White Tuna?

Northern White Tuna belongs to the tuna family and is one of the highest quality varieties due to its exquisite flavor and much smoother texture than the rest of its species. During spring, Northern White Tuna migrates to the Cantabrian Sea, where it is caught using the traditional rod and reel fishing method.


Fresh Preparation

At Pujadó Solano, we prepare Northern White Tuna fresh so that the product has an exceptional texture and color. We collect the fish from the Santoña fish market early in the morning so that it arrives at our factory in the best conditions.

Once at the factory, we classify the Bonito by size and prepare it for cooking after manually removing the entrails and carefully washing it. After several hours of cooking, we achieve the ideal texture and let it cool to room temperature before cutting the loins into pieces to select the best parts.

We package the Northern White Tuna in a way that preserves its specific properties. To do this, we handle it carefully and cover it in olive oil to maintain its unique texture and flavor.


What are the health benefits of Northern White Tuna?

Northern White Tuna is an exquisite fish with tender and succulent flesh that is not only delicious but also provides great benefits to our health.

  • It is a great source of Omega-3, which helps lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood.
