Tomato and Ventresca Tuna Salad

The Principality of Asturias is a region in the north of Spain located between Galicia and Cantabria. Its location on the edge of the Cantabrian Sea provides a source of excellent fish and other seafood, including monkfish, hake, conger eel, sea urchin, and clams. However, it is the varied mountainous terrain and, in particular, the natural boundary of the Picos de Europa mountain range that has influenced traditional cuisine. The sea, the vegetable fields, and the mountains are all reflected in the region's gastronomy.
