Jason de Mar, bluefin tuna salted and cured like jamon Iberico; look at the slicer! I had this the previous night at LA CATAPA, but mine there was much paler in color,andn the sliced were larger. I think LA CATAPA must cure their own.

This is the belly of the tuna "Bonito del Norte," and Ortiz is the brand I buy most often in the US, as it's easy to find and sold on Amazon. But the US price has almost doubled in the past year....I bought a few cans here, too.

A media ración of delectable canyuts from the Delta of the Ebro River, where fresh an salt waters mingle. Cousins to razor clams (navajas); these are smaller, more golden in color, and with a more intense flavor than the far more widely available navajas.

Guisantes del Maresme; you can just spy the thinnest sheet of jamon Iberico laid over the vegetable. You can now see why these are called "green pearls."

My typical breakfast sampling....queso fresco eat the top (I brought home a nice chunk of this unpasteurized "fresh" cheese from Andalucia.....I'm savoring some every day but the piece is growing alarmingly small by now....surprisingly, it's still fine to eat....also on the plate are, sort of counterclockwise: Membrillo, a goat cheese, Manchego, picos (bread snacks) lomo Iberico, smoked trout (eat with buttered black bread) and in the center, jamon Iberico de Bellota....
