Seasonal Flavor, Flavor of the Cantabrian Sea
Every year, with the arrival of June, one of the most anticipated fishing seasons begins in the Cantabrian Sea: the Northern Albacore fishing season. Until September, the waters fill with activity and tradition, marking the start of a season that defines the character of many artisanal canneries and fills our pantries with flavor.
Responsible and Historic Fishing
During the season, Northern Albacore is caught sustainably and selectively, one by one, using hook and line. This traditional technique not only protects marine resources but also ensures the highest quality fish, which arrives fresh at port within hours. It is a fishing method that respects the sea and values the knowledge of entire generations of northern fishermen.
The Cannery Season: Tradition and Craftsmanship
From June to September, the most emblematic canneries of the north start their work. The arrival of fresh albacore marks the beginning of a fully artisanal process: manual cleaning, slow cooking, hand-cutting, and careful packing in olive oil or traditional marinades. This is how some of the best gourmet canned products on the market are born.
The result is cans that capture the essence of summer and allow you to enjoy this exceptional fish all year round.

Northern Albacore in a can is a pantry staple. Perfect for salads, empanadas, pasta, or even a good sandwich. And if you have canned belly (ventresca) of albacore, its juicy and delicate texture makes it a jewel for any special occasion, appetizer, or snack with friends.
