The most anticipated bluefin tuna event returns to Malaga: ten days and eight different dishes

If you are a fan of bluefin tuna, save these dates. From next Thursday, May 14, until Saturday, May 23, the restaurant Almijara Casual Bar begins its V Bluefin Tuna Days. This iconic restaurant in the El Perchel neighborhood, recognized with a Repsol Sun and the Gold Medal of Gastronomy, will focus on this product that has many followers in the south. Its chef, José Andrés Jiménez, opts for eight dishes to explore the versatility of the Almadraba bluefin tuna.

Almijara Casual Bar is already celebrating the fifth edition of these days in which José Andrés creates and revives some of his dishes with this ingredient as the protagonist. Classic recipes well known by his diners and other dishes with which he continues to innovate, betting on surprise, especially when it comes to conquering palates.

The tavern, located at Pasaje San Fernando (3), will offer from this Thursday, May 14, eight different dishes with a common denominator, the bluefin tuna. Over ten days, the V Bluefin Tuna Days at Almijara will feature dishes such as 'marinated bluefin tuna brioche with truffled mayo' (€7.75), their 'bluefin tuna camperito with Dehesa Monteros acorn-fed jowl' (€5.95), their 'spicy bluefin tuna broken eggs' (€19.50), the 'bluefin tuna in “La Carmela” tomato sauce' (€19.50), their 'bluefin tuna tartare with kimchee gazpachuelo cream' (€19.50), the 'bluefin tuna sautéed with onions on the spot' (€19.50), their 'bluefin tuna in green pepper sauce' (€19.50), and their 'bluefin tuna gilda' (€5.95).

These V Bluefin Tuna Days coincide with the start of the season for this species so traditional in Cádiz, which also resonates strongly in Málaga, especially with initiatives like this from Almijara and its chef José Andrés, who values it from his unique perspective, always highly recognizable for decades.
