Ortiz tuna [Was: Favorite canned tuna?]

[Phred]

KayH gave me a can of Ortiz tuna some time back, and for salade
Nicoise or a nice pasta dish, there is no other tuna for me,
pocketbook allowing. As DM said, though, for tuna sandwiches, any old
solid white albacore will do just fine.

Oh good. Someone else has discovered this! I have been
raving about it for two or so years now.

I was intrigued by this thread as I can't say I've noticed Ortiz brand
tuna available here in Oz -- at least not here in the deep north of
the deep south.

So I googled "Ortiz tuna site:.au" and got a bunch of hits. Three of
the first five were research papers on the East Coast (Oz) tuna
fishery by one "E. Ortiz" as senior author. Another case of nominative
determinism; or does "E. Ortiz" also own a fish factory? :-)

Here's a sample titled "Eastern Tuna and Billfish Fishery Five Year
Research Plan 2003-2008". But note that it's a link to a PDF file:

or, if you prefer the full URL:
<https://www.afma.gov.
au/fisheries/tuna/etbf/publications/pdf/research03_08.pdf>

However, Ortiz tuna does figure as a preferred item in the 2nd hit:
"Maggie Beer - A Barossa Food Tradition - My favourites"
<http://tinyurl.com/22ctep> or, in full:
<http://www.maggiebeer.com.

which is a somewhat self-serving list of "The Perfect Pantry" items.

Cheers, Phred.
