4.0 out of 5 stars Canned Tuna, January 9, 2007

This is not your average canned tuna at $10.00 a tin, but if you are looking for a gourmet canned tuna experience this is it. I have seen the same product in Michigan for $17.99 a tin, so $9.99 is quite the bargain. I made a simple butter lettuce salad, flaked the tuna on top, reserving the olive oil in the tin for the dressing of sea salt, ground pepper, lemon juice and a couple of capers. It got rave reviews.

Ortiz has different grades and Amazon has the best prices, try one of each in a side by side comparison, include a can of the best tuna you can find in your local grocery store then decide for yourself.

On a side note, has anyone noticed that Amazon's prices are better that eBay prices?

5.0 out of 5 stars Who'da thought we'd spend $40 a lb for canned tuna... and like it?, April 27, 2006

Just came back from Spain and was reading The New Spanish Table by Anya von Bremzen. She had a sidebar where she raved about Ventresca Tuna (of course, what she was eating was specially canned for Chef Juan Mari Arzak, the Spanish heavy hitter.) But after she raved on and on, I decided to see what the hoo-ha was about. So I bought a can. And it made just about every other canned tuna I'd ever tasted seem like cat food. This stuff is the real deal.
