We are excited to announce the second La Temporada event at Parrillan Coal Drops Yard in King’s Cross on Wednesday 14th May to mark the arrival of the ‘almadraba’ wild bluefin tuna fishing season. The new series showcases key seasonal ingredients from the Spanish culinary calendar, expertly cooked over fire.

May is a special time along the entire Atlantic coast of the Cádiz province. It’s when the first tuna approach the coastline on their way to the Mediterranean Sea to lay their eggs. This highly prized fish is the centrepiece of the Fiesta del Atún (tuna festival), a week of celebrations in the fishing towns on the Cádiz coast at the start of May.

The £65 set sharing menu will include dishes such as tuna tartare with quail’s egg; seared tuna and ajo blanco; tuna empanada; and Tarantelo (a cut from the belly of the tuna known for its reddish colour and flavour) skewers for guests to grill on their own tabletop grills, served alongside baby potato with mojo rojo and a tomato salad with Ventresca (tuna belly).
