About Ventrèches de thon
Ventrèches de thon are the fatty belly portions of tuna, cut from the underside of the fish. They are richer in fat and generally softer and more succulent than lean tuna flesh, with a pronounced savory seafood flavour.
They are sold fresh or preserved, commonly in oil or brine; preservation and species or cut can affect saltiness, firmness and richness. Fresh pieces may be grilled or otherwise cooked, while preserved belly is often flaked or served in pieces. The term identifies a cut, not a single tuna species or a standardized preparation.
