Top-quality tinned seafood conservas are an age-old tradition in Spain, thanks in part to the country's affinity for the bounty of the sea, as Spaniards consume more than 50 lbs. of seafood per person annually. So, they know what they're talking about. In restaurants, tapas bars, and homes throughout Spain you'll find canned seafood served as a delicacy, even straight from the tin or jar.
Donostia Foods seafood conservas is a selection of some of the best Spain has to offer. As Chef Rick Bayless says on The Feed Podcast (James Beard award-winner for Best Podcast) after sampling Donostia Foods Bontio del Norte tuna, sardines, and octopus, "People really need to get into this, canned seafood from Spain". It's true! They do!
"These luxury anchovies are so good, I eat them straight from the jar." Featured in Bon Appétit's Highly Recommend column, Donostia Foods Anchovies
Spanish canned seafood is unique because of the variety and high quality of products found in jars and tins, and the attention paid to traditional, hand-crafted methods of production. This is why Spanish anchovies and Bonito del Norte tuna from the Cantabrian Sea, and mussels, octopus, and sardines from the waters of Galicia, are such a culinary delight. They'll make you rethink the possibilities of what can come from a tin.
"Salsa vizcaína is a Basque classic made from choricero peppers and onions. This rendition and the tender cod it swaddles taste so uncannily homemade, you could serve it to a Spanish abuela and she wouldn’t bat an eyelid."
