White Albacore Tuna Spread with Foie Gras

The emblematic fish of the island of Yeu is tuna… Albacore tuna to be precise. This tuna is said to be the noblest of its species: it is in fact highly sought after, far ahead of its relatives, the albacore tuna or the skipjack tuna. Albacore tuna is also called white tuna, as its flesh is light and fine. It is generally fished in the Atlantic during the summer. Highly prized by the islanders, the Ile d'Yeu Conserverie offers this delicious fish in the form of rillettes for an aperitif or as a seafood starter. Enjoy it as a starter or on GRILL2S toast as an aperitif. You will appreciate the tuna rillettes, the specialty of our cannery.
