"A small cannery to the South West of Sardegna. They fish only during the month of May, when tuna is migrating but not quite reproducing. The meat is fatty and rich in nutrients.
Drop everything you are doing and buy this tuna. Two blocks away from the coast of this tiny island, southwest of Sardinia, Antioco Fois makes tinned fish. His storefront is a few rooms, and a big cooler. He works with three other men, to jar smoked eels from the lagoon, process bottarga from mullet, and (of fundamental importance) take apart and tin 20 large bluefin tuna (on average) per year. Very large fish: 200kg average.
This island (and Carlo Forte, the larger neighboring island) are famous for tinning tuna, because a happenstance of geography and migration patterns take the fish at the optimal point in their growing season close to this shore. They are funneled into a narrow channel of water where, even centuries ago, fishermen in small boats could line-catch them.
You’ll never taste better tuna." -Piedmont Imports
