Tuna Fillets in Olive Oil

Tuna Fillets in Olive Oil

The discovery of the sea by pre-historic men has coincided with the discovery of tuna. It is perhaps the species that we have known longer and more transversally across the planet. Caught in the eastern and western parts of the Atlantic Ocean and in the southeastern Pacific, our tuna is a high nutritional food product.

Tuna fish would swim around all the time. One day, they decided to do a really good race They swam, and swam, and swam, but none got to the end of the race. They are still looking for the finish line. They don’t know where it is!
