  • About

This is the juiciest part of the tuna and is usually tinned as a preserve. The ventresca is particularly fine because of its fatty and gelatinous texture. It is usually more expensive than other parts of the tuna partly because of its popularity as a preserve. Fresh it is used like normal tuna for all sorts of dishes.
