Euthynnus alletteratus — also known as the false bonito or bacoreta in Spanish — is a fascinating species of tuna that often lives in the shadow of its more famous relatives. But it is well worth a closer look:

Where does it come from?
It lives in the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Black Sea, preferring warm, coastal waters. In Spain and Portugal, it is particularly well known along the coasts of Andalusia and the Algarve.

What does it look like?
Its back is dark blue with distinctive wavy stripes — almost like a fingerprint of nature. The belly is silvery-white with dark spots. Measuring 50–100 cm in length, it is considerably smaller than the bluefin tuna.

What does it taste like?
Its flesh is darker, richer, and more intense than that of albacore tuna. It has a pronounced, mineral-rich taste of the sea — not for the faint-hearted, but a delight for connoisseurs. When preserved in olive oil, it develops a special depth of flavor.

How is it caught?
Traditionally using the almadraba method — an ancient labyrinth of nets that takes advantage of the tuna’s migration through the Strait of Gibraltar. This method only catches fully grown fish.

What makes it special?
It is less common in the canning industry than skipjack or albacore, making it a true rarity. Once you have tried it, you will appreciate its distinctive character.
