Tuna fishing Tuna fishing is an age-old practice that has deep roots in Sicilian culture. The first historical traces of this practice date back to Phoenician times, but it was with the Romans that tuna mattanza began to take on the form and characteristics we know today. In Trapani, the tradition of tuna fishing is particularly important. Here, every year between April and June, fishermen prepare for the arrival of bluefin tuna in the Mediterranean Sea. Once caught, the tuna is immediately cleaned and deboned by hand. This step is essential to guarantee the quality of the final product. Next, the tuna is steamed or boiled in salted water. This cooking process keeps the flavour of the tuna intact and preserves its nutritional properties. After cooking, the tuna is canned or jarred and coated with olive oil or salted water. The cans or jars are then vacuum sealed to ensure preservation. History of canned tuna The art of preserving canned tuna dates back to antiquity. The first historical traces of the use of tuna as a preserved food date back to Roman times, when tuna was salted and stored in wooden barrels. However, the practice of canning tuna as we know it today has more recent origins. It was in the 19th century, with the development of food preservation technologies, that tuna began to be canned or jarred for large-scale distribution. Why buy it? Why it's good for you!
