Yellowfin Tuna Fillets

Ortiz Yellowfin Tuna Fillets in Olive Oil offer a fuller, more rounded tuna flavour with a tender, flaky texture. Made using atún claro (Thunnus albacares), this variety is known for its pinkish-red flesh and balanced taste, rich enough to stand out, yet not overpowering.

Carefully prepared and packed in olive oil, the fillets remain moist and easy to handle, breaking into generous flakes that work well in a wide range of dishes. The oil enhances the texture and carries the flavour, making each bite smooth and satisfying.

This yellowfin tuna is particularly suited to recipes where a stronger tuna presence is welcome. From simple salads to hearty sandwiches, or traditional dishes like a Galician empanada, it brings both substance and flavour without needing much else alongside it.

Key Features:

  • 250g tin of yellowfin tuna fillets in olive oil.
  • Made with Thunnus albacares (atún claro).
  • Pinkish-red flesh with a fuller tuna flavour.
  • Tender, flaky texture that holds its shape.
  • Preserved with olive oil and sea salt.
  • Sourced from waters off the west coast of Africa.
  • Suitable for a wide range of savoury dishes.

Recipe Inspiration:

  • Use as a filling for a traditional Spanish tuna empanada.
  • Toss through a mixed salad with beans, tomatoes and herbs.
  • Layer into a sandwich with lettuce, mayonnaise and pickles.
  • Mix with pasta, olive oil, garlic and chilli for a quick meal.

What is the difference between yellowfin tuna and white tuna?

Yellowfin has a deeper colour and a slightly stronger, more pronounced flavour, while white tuna (albacore) is paler with a milder, more delicate taste.

Is this tuna suitable for cooking as well as cold dishes?

Yes, it can be used in cooked recipes such as baked dishes or fillings, where its firmer flavour holds up well to heat and other ingredients.

Why is olive oil used to preserve tuna?

Olive oil helps keep the fillets moist and tender, while also enhancing the flavour and making the tuna easier to mix into dishes.

Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) (FISH), olive oil and sea salt
