Santa Catarina Gourmet Tuna Fillets with Fennel and Olive Oil

Santa Catarina has been producing tuna on the island of São Jorge in the Azores since the mid-20th century. The company is known for traditional hand-packing methods and a close connection to the islands' tuna fishing culture.

This tin features pole-and-line caught tuna fillets packed in olive oil with fennel. Native to the Mediterranean and long used in Portuguese cooking, fennel is valued for its aromatic character and frequent association with seafood preparations.

The tuna is harvested in the waters surrounding the Azores, where pole-and-line fishing has been practiced for generations. After cooking, the fillets are trimmed and packed by hand, a process that remains central to Santa Catarina's production.

Santa Catarina's flavored tuna range highlights ingredients that complement the fish while reflecting the broader culinary traditions of Portugal. In this case, the addition of fennel creates a preparation that stands apart from a standard olive oil pack while remaining rooted in familiar ingredients.

Serve with boiled potatoes and a simple fennel salad.
