BASQUAISE TUNA

Our canned Tuna à la Basquaise is made with white tuna selected and purchased whole by us at the Saint-Jean-de-Luz fish auction. Like all our canned fish, the tuna is cooked fresh and has not been frozen. The tomatoes, peppers and onions used for this dish also come from local producers (Landes, Gers, Lot-et-Garonne). This preserved fish is a typical prepared dish from the Basque Country, hence its name Tuna à la Basquaise. It’s a traditional South-West dish that will delight you and your guests. Basquaise or piperade is a culinary specialty of traditional Basque and Gascon cuisine. Besides, have you already noticed that it is the color of the Basque flag: red, green and white. It is from this base that many of these traditional dishes come from, such as chicken Basquaise and tuna à la Basquaise. Like all our cooked dishes, our Basquaise-style canned tuna is entirely prepared in the premises of our artisanal cannery in Landes according to EEC and HACCP standards. Our raw materials are selected from local producers according to our quality charter to offer you a high-end preserve. Preparation tip: Reheat and serve with rice, potatoes, or plain. It can also be eaten cold. Complete dish for two people, consisting of a loin of tuna steak cooked in a Basquaise sauce. Ideal for a spring or summer evening, when you don't feel like cooking!
