The tuna "ronqueo", celebrated in St. James, is a tradition that has endured for centuries and forms an essential part of the city's rich gastronomic history. The bluefin tuna, nicknamed "red gold", is renowned for its delicacy and, during its season, is an undisputed delicacy on the menus of the city's most renowned restaurants.
The "ronqueo", a meticulous cutting process, allows different cuts to be obtained, each with its own character and flavour.
The exclusive tuna carving experience at St. James goes beyond simple observation. As the tuna is cut up, the restaurant's master chefs explain the particularities of each cut. In this way, the dishes become a kind of gastronomic narrative, enhancing the richness and flavour of the bluefin tuna. The versatility of this fish is evident in the restaurant's varied culinary proposals, from the softness of the ventresca (tuna belly) to the nobility of the loin.
In addition, throughout the month of June, diners can enjoy recipes specially created to celebrate the tuna season. The creations range from the innovation of "Oven-baked caramelised rice with ventresca crust", the freshness of the "Ventresca salad in semi-flake with tomato tartar, salicornia and cold pine nut soup", to more traditional and comforting dishes such as the "Marmitako marinero de tarantelo a la plancha, homemade gnocchi and its spicy soup". Each dish is a tribute to bluefin tuna and its unique flavour.
