Tuna Fillets with Fennel and Olive Oil by Santa Catarina

Tuna fillets with fennel, surprisingly good

Tuna Fillets with Fennel and Olive Oil by Santa Catarina is one of those tins that catches you off guard. Made with skipjack tuna sustainably caught using traditional Pole & Line fishing in the Azores, it’s clean, honest, and then elevated with fennel in a way you don’t expect.

From the Azores, carefully made

This tuna comes from São Jorge Island (Azores, Portugal), where fishing is still done the right way. Each fillet is hand-packed, and you notice it immediately when you open the tin — the structure, the layers, everything feels carefully placed.

What makes this tin different

• Pole & Line caught tuna – sustainable and high quality.
• Hand-packed fillets – visible texture and structure.
• Fennel and olive oil – unique, aromatic combination.
• Lightly salted – clean and balanced.

Flavor and texture

The tuna flakes beautifully — you can see the layers separate with almost no effort. The texture is firm and substantial, slightly on the drier side, which works perfectly with the olive oil.

The real surprise is the fennel. It’s bright, aromatic, and very present, but not overpowering. It adds a depth that almost feels unexpected — rich, savory, and slightly reminiscent of flavors you wouldn’t normally associate with canned tuna.

How we like to enjoy it

Great on its own, but it really shines when paired with ingredients like onions, capers, or tomatoes. It holds up well to strong flavors, making it a great option for more creative dishes.
