Surrounded by the cool, clean waters of the Atlantic and the Old World spirit of Spain’s Iberian Peninsula, there is no better place than Galicia for Ramón Peña to have mastered his technique.

He insists on being the first to the morning fish auctions, purchasing only the absolute best of each day’s catch. After cooking in fresh seawater, each offering is hand-packed into tins one tasty morsel at a time. Only small producers like Peña, who use time-tested artisan techniques, are able to capture the intrinsic flavors and preserve the incomparable texture of pristine seafood.

There are so many ways to enjoy tinned seafood, but we like it best right out of the can with freshly baked bread and a glass of un-oaked white wine.
