Espinaler White Tuna

$13.95

“Bonito” in this context actually means Albacore (Thunnus alalunga), not the fish that other parts of the world refer to as Bonito (Sarda sarda). When Thunnus alalunga was discovered first in the Cantabrian Sea, they referred to it as “Bonito del Norte.” Or Bonito of the North, as they look similar in morphology, just much larger. No matter what you call it, though, this is killer good tuna.

About Espinaler:
Located in Vilassar de Mar (Barcelona), Espinaler is famous both for its tavern and for its top-quality seafood preserves from the Galician estuaries, as well as its well-known sauce for dressing these seafood conservas.

The Espinaler brand was born in 1896, when Miquel Riera moved to Vilassar de Mar and opened the Espinaler tavern. Miquel Tapias Roldós, the founder’s great-grandson, took over the reins of the business in the 1970s and started to travel to Galicia to choose the best shellfish in person at the auctions. This was the start of the marketing of Espinaler canned seafood preserves, also know as Conservas. Now run by the fifth generation of the Riera family, the Espinaler tavern and shop has been voted the best Specialized Gourmet Shop in Spain.
