Cut
Ventresca
Ventresca is the belly, the loosest and fattiest cut, prized above all others and priced to match.
About 317 ventresca tins, mostly tuna and bonito. It is meant to be lifted out in whole pieces, not flaked: laid on toast, over a boiled potato, or straight from the tin, dressed with nothing but its own oil. A cut to savor plain, and a cut, not a species; albacore, bonito and bluefin all come this way.

Twenty tins to a page. A row with no price is a tin we hold but nobody we track is selling today.
Cut is read from the label and from the ingredient list. Where a label states neither, the tin carries no cut rather than a guessed one.
