The 132kg ‘Tuna Ronqueo’ was led by a professional ‘Ronqueador’ who knows the tuna’s anatomy, allowing him to make precise cuts in the most appropriate way, taking this great Spanish tradition to Continente.
The name ‘Ronqueo’ comes from the sound the knife makes when it passes over the fish’s backbone. Through this method’s demonstration, Continente customers were able to see how the tuna is cut and sold on the spot, ensuring maximum freshness.
