Bluefin Tuna Tarantello

Tarantello di Tonno Rosso is the abdominal muscle of the fish. It has a buttery, complex flavor; it’s not as rich as ventresca but has very little in common with ordinary canned tuna, with its dry, chalky texture and bland taste. The exquisite Mediterranean Bluefin Tuna, or Tonno Rosso is full of fresh flavor and and can be enjoyed right out of the can with a squeeze of lemon and a few drops of balsamic. Mix it with cooked beans, asparagus, boiled potatoes, roasted red tomatoes, and sweet onions for a delicious and healthy Mediterranean feast. We love tarantello in a quick dish of bucatini with olive oil, parsley and cherry tomatoes.
