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.

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.

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.
