🐟 Ortiz Ventresca: Too Rich for MY BELLY!? | Canned Fish Files Ep. 68

[@pokemercenary6511]

I come for the sardines and stay for the synths.

[@heatmyzer9]

Both are tasty.

[@Beefonweck]

Ventresca is a great idea for people that love tuna but are worried about mercury intake. Not only is it expensive so you can't afford to eat a lot, but mercury has been shown to concentrate in lean muscle rather than the fatty belly. Yellowfin is also one of the tuna species with lower mercury levels as a whole.

[@dthomaswilliamson33]

Yellowfin in evoo is soo good I eat it out of the can no extras

That tinned tuna belly looked amazing. Often Tuna gets overlooked but I guess you just have to pay the price and it delivers the experience. Inspired to see that there is no tinned fish dilemma that you can’t eat your way out of. Great music and effects. Wishing everyone could have a fatty piece of tuna belly. Toro Toro

I stopped eating tuna forever after you introduced me to Wild Planet yellowtail.

[@ICSpotz]

Ordered a case of each...Thanks for the reviews, no one else does these and since they're pricey it's nice to see it first on your channel. I'm landlocked in small Okla town without the luxury of a coastal seafood market so canned fish as you described is an option. I wish you did some recipe video's as well, I'd be interested in minimal preparations that compliment and not hide the quality of the product.

Chopp up some kalamatas, unions, tomato, feta and put that with the tuna on a roasted pice of baguette laced with olive oil and garlic, it's good :)

Ortiz Benito del Norte is one of my favourite lunchtime snacks (straight from the can, with chopsticks obvs).

[@izidorsuc]

Hi Matthew, thanks for the video. I’ve enjoyed it as usual. This is a very typical situation with canned tuna. On one side you have those round cans with either tuna flakes or chunks in oil or sauce. Pesonally I always consider them of lower quality. Then you have square or oval cans with what I call ‘tuna fillets’. Those are kind of cut off filleted tuna pieces (here this is what they call ‘ventresca’). Unfortunately as is usual for Ortiz stuff it’s really expensive for those traditionally made cans. Obviously tuna chunks cost from €0,50 upwards and fillets start at about €2,50. For fun you could make a comparison with vegetarian tuna such as Loma linda tuno, some time.

[@CannedFishFiles]

Hahah, yes veggie tuna, I like it!

[@stevekemble8911]

I love Ortiz white tuna. And yes I do eat it right from the can (with a little salt). Drink the oil - you will be happy! Thanks for showing me the Ventresca, I want some now.

[@DavidPiniella]

I always use the tuna/'dine olive oil to make homemade mayo

[@stevekemble8911]

@@DavidPiniella I will need to try that sometime with another tuna oil, maybe in a salad dressing or for another tuna dish. Ortiz oil is so good it is gone within seconds.

[@CannedFishFiles]

Yes, I want to taste the fish and nothing but the fish, especially at first. Over the last year, I've learned to make excuses for something that really ought to be incorporated in a dish, even though cooking really isn't in the videos (for now).

Wow, I think you hit it; in your last statement: a "raison d'etre " rivalling even 42. Nice!! :D

[@ronschlorff7089]

"Fish fish"!! I'm in! Reminds me of a Salade Nicoise I've been meaning to make with deens, but this looks more doable (those beautiful long "fillets"). Many ways to do the salad, but pick your favorite and add a few of these little jewels. Yes pricey, but less than the one I had at a cafe in Nice in 2002. Yes it was nice,.. both Nice,.... and the Salade Nicoise!! :D

The fanciest tuna I've had is starkist or bumblebee in a can Or the pouches. Those are some big slices of tuna. Tuna + mayo makes tuna salad, then put on bread. Spice it up with onions garlic Tabasco whatever you like. How do we support the channel? Your one comment said about patreon but I don't see a link .
