Zallo - Bonito Del Norte - White Tuna in Sauce Catalan
Zallo's Bonito del Norte swimming in a red sauce that gets its colour from paprika and its tang from wine vinegar. The Catalan preparation builds on regular escabeche - deeper, more complex, with that distinctive paprika smoky warmth running through everything.
The tuna itself is the same excellent line-caught fish from the Cantabrian Sea, but this sauce changes the tin. Each fork comes out coated in the stuff, which is the point.
We used this to make Bánh Mì where the sauce adds it’s smoky notes and the vinegar helps cut the paté and add an extra lift.
Ingredients: White Tuna (fish) (72%), wine vinegar, olive oil, spices, garlic flavouring, and 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.
