Spiced Tuna Fillets in Olive Oil, Ati Manel, Portugal
Ati Manel’s spiced tuna fillets are a classic Portuguese conserva with a quietly luxurious edge. Made from pole & line–caught skipjack tuna, the smallest species commonly preserved, each fillet is hand-carved from the bone, gently steamed, and packed in olive oil infused with chili and warm spices. The result is rich yet delicate, with a subtle floral lift and a lingering savory depth. Elegant enough to eat straight from the tin, but built to shine alongside simple, hearty accompaniments.
