Santa Catarina Gourmet Tuna with Fennel in Olive Oil showcases the purity and precision of Azorean fishing traditions. Made using skipjack tuna caught by sustainable pole & line methods off São Jorge Island in the Açores, each fillet is gently prepared, lightly salted, and preserved in olive oil with aromatic fennel for a clean, elegant finish.
Produced by Santa Catarina, this tuna comes from one of the most responsible fisheries in the world. Pole & line fishing is entirely artisanal and highly selective. Fishermen locate tuna visually, cut their engines, and use water sprays to mimic fleeing bait fish, drawing the tuna close without disturbing the surrounding ecosystem. Each fish is caught individually, avoiding bycatch and ensuring only mature tuna are selected.
The result is firm, flaky tuna with natural sweetness and clarity, enhanced rather than masked by fennel and olive oil.
How to enjoy it:
Serve simply with boiled new potatoes, olive oil, and fresh herbs. Flake through a fennel, orange, and olive salad. Or layer onto toasted sourdough with a little lemon zest and cracked black pepper for an effortless lunch.
