Island Creek Tuna Belly in Galician Butter
Story: Like the start of any good story, Mariscadora begins with an accountant and a fisherman. Founders Angel Costas and Floriano Miñan first met at a now defunct cannery where Costas ran the books as an accountant, and Miñan applied his lifelong knowledge of local seafood as the cannery’s purchaser. In 1966, sensing that bankruptcy was on the horizon for their employer, Costas and Miñan decided to jump ship and start their own factory. Mariscadora is the inhouse line of tinned seafood for the cannery.
The ocean has shaped the culture, cuisine, and economy of Galicia for centuries. Nicknamed “the land of a thousand rivers”, Galicia is studded with bays and inlets which are fed “rías” (aka estuaries). It's this magical brew of the fresh and salt water that makes Galicia one of the most prolific shellfishing and fishing regions in the world.
Producer: Mariscadora, Costas y Miñan
Where it's from: Galicia, Spain
Why it’s unique: The butter this tuna is preserved in is handmade by a lone neighborhood dairy farmer, Carmela. She milks her cows every day at 7am, churning butter using classic, traditional methods without modern-day machinery. One bite of this butter has the ability to transport Galician locals back to days of their youth!
Ingredients: White Tuna Belly and Butter
How it tastes: Unctuous tuna belly is preserved in the silkiest, most heavenly handmade Galician butter, creating a bite unlike any other you may have experienced with canned tuna before.
How to eat: Heat it before ya eat it. Temper the tin before eating by steeping it in warm water for a few minutes. When the tin is warmed through and the butter is silky, simply eat the contents straight out of the tin, pour over fresh pasta, slather on quality bread, or endeavor to make TUNA BUTTERED POPCORN. Call me when you get there!
What you get: One 3.9oz (110g) tin
WARNING: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
