Yellowfin
Not all tuna is the same.
On opening tins of tuna, it can be observed that they may differ somewhat from each other in terms of colour, consistency and even taste.
Tuna are not the same in nature either. Some are dark coloured and disuniform and have fatty flesh prone to flaking.
Yellowfin tuna
(
Thunnus Albacares
) is recognisable for the yellow colour of its dorsal and rear fins and is considered of primary quality the world over.
Its flesh is pink in colour and exceptionally compact and tender.
Rio Mare selects only the finest, loveliest and pinkest parts of the yellowfin tuna. This is why Rio Mare tuna has such a delicate and immediately recognisable taste and also explains why it is “so soft you can cut it with a breadstick”. When you open a tin of Rio Mare tuna you immediately discover its fine pink colour, its compact form and its whole (not crumbly) steaks. It bowls you over with its rich and appetising taste and by its
“breadstick test” tenderness'.
