Fried Tuna in escabeche is a traditional recipe whose process is exclusive to Conservas Ortiz. We fry the tuna in olive oil, carefully clean the loins, and hand-pack them whole in our traditional escabeche.
Our Tuna (Thunnus albacares) is one of the most commonly preserved tuna, as it is highly appreciated for its flavor and texture. It is recognizable by its characteristic yellow fin. It is a migratory species with extensive movement, so it can be caught at different times of the year.
We prepare our fried tuna in escabeche in an artisanal way: caught using traditional fishing methods during the coastal season, we fry the tuna in extra virgin olive oil, carefully clean it, and hand-pack it whole in our traditional escabeche.
Once opened, in order to maintain its flavor for up to five days, we recommend keeping the tuna in the refrigerator, preferably covered and completely submerged in olive oil, adding more if necessary.
Tuna is an oily fish full of health benefits:
Here we find it in escabeche (vinegar and spices), adding all the nutritional properties of olive oil, vinegar and salt to the product.
There are flavors that never go out of fashion. Escabeche (vinegar) is one of Spain’s best-loved marinades. It was created as a preservation technique for fresh fish as it was sent from the coast inland when there were no technical means to do so. Today, many years later, its characteristic flavor has become a firm favorite in canned products.
