Zallo - Bonito Del Norte - White Tuna in Escabeche
Bonito del Norte - the prized white tuna from the Cantabrian Sea is caught pole-and-line during summer when the fish are at peak health, then bathed in wine vinegar and olive oil with a whisper of garlic.
The escabeche doesn't just coat the fish; it transforms it completely. The vinegar brightens everything while the olive oil keeps things civilized. The tuna itself flakes beautifully, with that clean, firm texture that comes from same day processing.
Perfect straight from the tin with good bread and a glass of something cold. Or toss it through a quick salad where the tangy escabeche becomes the dressing. About as effortless as a healthy plate can be.
Ingredients: White Tuna (72%) (fish), wine vinegar, olive oil, salt.

From Bermeo's historic fishing port in Spain's Basque Country comes Zallo, capturing northern Spain's seafood expertise since 1970. Their pole-and-line caught albacore (bonito del norte) ensures zero by-catch while delivering exceptional quality from the nutrient-rich waters of the Cantabrian Sea.
Their escabeche preparation—bright with paprika, olive oil and wine vinegar—creates a perfect counterpoint to the meaty albacore fillets. The fish remains firm yet tender, never mushy as lesser tinned tuna can be. This traditional Basque preservation method transforms good fish into something memorable without masking its clean, distinctive character.
Zallo maintains close relationships with local fishing fleets, supporting sustainable practices that have defined this seafaring region for generations. For a simple but wonderful plate, lay their tuna across sliced tomatoes with black olives and peppery greens—the escabeche sauce doubles as a ready-made dressing.
