The 'atún rojo' (red tuna) provides a rich, meaty flavor and a tender texture, complemented by the sweetness of slowly caramelized onions. The 'suquet', derived from the tuna bones, contributes a deep seafood broth with a slightly gelatinous texture. The trout roe adds bursts of saltiness and a delicate pop, creating a textural and flavor contrast. A high-quality olive oil is essential, contributing fruity and peppery notes that bind the flavors together. The dish often incorporates subtle spices like smoked paprika or saffron, adding complexity and warmth.

Tuna Quality
The quality of the 'atún rojo' is paramount. Seek out sustainably sourced, high-grade tuna with a vibrant red color and firm texture. 'Balfegó' is a reputable brand known for its quality.
Onion Caramelization
Patience is key when caramelizing the onions. Cook them slowly over low heat until they are deeply golden and sweet. This process releases their natural sugars and creates a rich flavor base.
Suquet Preparation
Simmer the tuna bones with aromatic vegetables (onion, carrot, celery) and herbs to create a flavorful and clear broth. Skim off any impurities during the simmering process.
Trout Roe Selection
Choose high-quality trout roe with a vibrant color and firm, intact eggs. Refrigerate immediately and handle gently to avoid damaging the delicate roe.
