Mackerel with white wine, lemon and rosemary:

Since the French prefer their mackerel with “white wine and herbs”, Petit Navire, the leading manufacturer of mackerel in white wine has come up with a new recipe.

The mackerel is marinated in a fresh and light mix of white wine, lemon and rosemary to enhance the flavour of the mackerel.

Tuna marinated in lemon, thyme and rosemary:

Natural tuna is the top selling canned fish product. Petit Navire, the undisputed leader in France, launched a new range of marinated tuna in response to consumer demand:

• 64% of consumers add a sauce or seasoning to the tuna,
• only 8% think there is a wide variety of flavours.

Petit Navire produces two types of marinated tuna:

• Whole tuna in lemon, 
• Whole tuna with thyme and rosemary. 

These original recipes are very subtle and are designed to promote the authentic taste of whole natural tuna.

Flakes in olive oil:

Following the success of its flakes in tomato and sunflower oil, Petit Navire has decided to launch flakes in olive oil.

The revolutionary new range: Les Astucieux!

• 70% of consumers eat canned tuna cold, in particular in salads (source U&A),
• 47% of consumers would like to have access to a greater variety of canned fish (source U&A)
