About Spanish Tinned Fish & Seafood
Canned fish, especially high-quality gourmet varieties of Spanish origin that we offer at Ibérico Taste, is an excellent way to consume fish. It's crucial that they don't contain artificial additives and that the oil used is olive oil. By doing so, you'll be consuming a food rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.
Sardines in olive oil, Anchovies, Mussels Escabeche, Cockles in brine, Boquerones en Vinagre or Bonito del Norte are some of the most popular tinned fish in Spain.
Most canned fish are ready-to-eat products. They are typically consumed accompanied by Spanish crackers such as "picos camperos," bread with extra virgin olive oil, potato chips, or olives.
A gourmet canned fish typically distinguishes itself from a conventional one through its emphasis on superior quality ingredients, meticulous preparation methods, refined flavor profiles, upscale packaging, and consequently, a higher price point. Gourmet varieties often feature premium cuts of fish, artisanal preparation techniques, and carefully curated seasonings or marinades using olive oil, resulting in a product that appeals to discerning consumers seeking an elevated culinary experience.
