Alalunga - Seabass (Lubina) In Olive Oil - 138 g

Alalunga Seabass in Olive Oil features loins of wild-caught European seabass preserved to maintain the integrity of the white fish. This selection represents a rare application of traditional canning techniques to a species typically reserved for fresh restaurant preparations.

Craft & Origin

The seabass is line-caught (hook and line) in the Cantabrian Sea during the peak season when quality is highest. Alalunga utilizes a precise manual process in Cantabria where the loins are hand-cut and cleaned to ensure the delicate muscle structure remains intact. The fish is preserved in high-quality olive oil which acts as a gentle medium to protect the flakes. Each tin is numbered and traceable to a specific vessel and landing date at local ports. This commitment to small-batch production ensures the fish is processed shortly after being landed to preserve its natural character without chemical additives.

Flavor & Texture

Clean and mild with a subtle buttery finish. The texture is firm yet yields into delicate flakes.

How to Use

Serve on a warm platter with Marcona almonds or flake over a bed of roasted Mediterranean vegetables.
