Pujadó Solano Cantabrian Anchovies 50g are a benchmark in quality for anchovy lovers—delicately filleted, expertly cured, and packed by hand using time-honoured methods that highlight the unmatched flavour of Spain’s northern coast.

Sourced from the Cantabrian Sea during the spring season, when the anchovies are at their best, these fillets are prized for their plumpness, deep umami flavour, and silky texture. Once caught, the fish undergo a traditional curing process: they’re layered in salt and aged for several months to develop depth and complexity, before being meticulously trimmed and preserved in silky olive oil.

The result is a fillet that’s beautifully balanced—rich and savoury with just the right touch of salinity, melting on the tongue with every bite. Each 50g tin contains several premium fillets, perfect for savouring on their own or elevating simple dishes with bold flavour.

Pujadó Solano, a family-run company with decades of expertise, is renowned for its commitment to craftsmanship and consistency. These anchovies are a true pantry luxury—ideal for topping toast with butter or tomato, laying across a classic Caesar salad, or adding depth to sauces and dressings.

Pair with a crisp glass of Manzanilla sherry, a dry white, or a chilled vermouth for a simple yet indulgent aperitivo.

Pujadó Solano Cantabrian Anchovies are more than just a garnish—they’re an artisanal delicacy and a staple for anyone serious about quality conservas.

Behind these anchovy fillets is a long preparation process in which the fillets are sliced by hand following traditional techniques that have been practised in Santoña for over a century. The “sobadoras de Santoña”, with their expert hands, are tasked with filleting and then selecting the best fillets to offer a high-quality product.  .

Introducing La Curiosa Cantabrian Anchovies — an exquisite delicacy from Spain’s northern coast, where tradition, patience, and sea-salt air shape every fillet. These anchovies are sourced from the icy waters of the Bay of Biscay during peak season, then hand-cleaned, salted, and aged for months to achieve their buttery texture and deep umami flavour. The result is a smooth, meaty anchovy with none of the harshness you might expect — just elegance in every bite.

La Curiosa is known for its uncompromising commitment to quality. Every tin is packed by hand, using only the finest fish and the best extra virgin olive oil. The result? Anchovies that melt in your mouth — perfect for elevating a slice of crusty bread, a fresh tomato salad, or your favourite pasta.

Spanish Pig is proud to be the exclusive Canadian importer of La Curiosa’s Cantabrian Anchovies. That means you won’t find these premium fillets anywhere else in the country. If you’re looking to experience anchovies the way Spaniards do — as a centrepiece, not an afterthought — this is your chance. Stock is limited due to small-scale production, so treat yourself to a tin while they’re still available. This is anchovy perfection.

For over 150 years, Yurrita has been perfecting the art of Cantabrian seafood, and their boquerones (white anchovy fillets) in extra virgin olive oil are a shining example of their craft. Hand-selected from the cool waters of the Bay of Biscay, these anchovies are prized for their delicate texture and clean, briny flavour. Unlike their salt-cured cousins, boquerones are gently marinated to preserve their natural freshness and pale ivory colour, then packed in smooth, fruity extra virgin olive oil that enhances their subtle richness.

Each fillet offers a perfect balance between the sea’s salinity and the bright, slightly tangy notes of the marinade. The olive oil not only keeps the fillets tender but also adds a luxurious mouthfeel, elevating them into a gourmet delicacy that feels both simple and refined.

Yurrita’s boquerones are wonderfully versatile: they can stand alone as a tapa, or lift a dish with a refined burst of the sea. A classic of Spanish cuisine, they embody elegance in simplicity—making them an essential addition to any serious selection of conservas.

Serving Suggestion

Serve chilled, drizzled with their own olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Pair with crusty bread or lay atop pan con tomate for an authentic Spanish bite. A scattering of parsley or a few piquillo peppers alongside adds colour and depth. Perfect for an aperitivo spread with olives and Marcona almonds.

Wine Pairing

Boquerones shine with crisp, high-acid wines. A classic Albariño from Rías Baixas complements their briny freshness with citrus and mineral notes. Alternatively, a Txakoli from the Basque Country—lightly spritzy and saline—creates a regional match that mirrors the anchovy’s maritime origins.

Anchovies M.A. Revilla – Butter Tin 50g

M.A. Revilla’s 50g Blue Fish “Il Più Grande Boccato” is more than just a tin of anchovies — it’s a culinary homage to history. Inside are 8 to 10 hand-filleted anchovies from the pristine Cantabrian Sea, preserved not in oil, but in smooth organic butter. This unique preparation revives the way anchovies were enjoyed in Italy at the end of the 19th century, when Italian salters, short of fish on their own coasts, travelled to Santoña in northern Spain. Their work transformed the town into what is still known today as “The Cradle of the Anchovy.”

The butter tin format is both charming and practical: it shields the fillets from air and light while infusing them with a mellow richness that balances the anchovies’ natural saltiness. Before serving, leave the open tin at room temperature for 30 minutes — the butter will soften into a velvety cream, making the anchovies even more luxurious to spread or pair with bread.

These anchovies are an authentic taste of maritime tradition, perfect for tapas with a glass of Albariño or dry vermouth. Their balance of briny intensity and creamy butter makes them unlike any anchovy you’ve had before.

Simple Recipe: Anchovy Crostini with Butter & Lemon

• Let the tin rest 30 minutes until the butter softens.

• Toast slices of baguette or sourdough.

• Spread the softened butter from the tin onto the bread.

• Lay an anchovy fillet on top.

• Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Serve with chilled white wine — an effortless tribute to Santoña’s legacy.

Casa Santoña’s Cantabrian Anchovy Gilda is a classic Spanish pintxo that perfectly balances salty, tangy, and savoury flavours in one irresistible bite. Inspired by the traditional Basque appetiser, this conserva combines the finest Cantabrian anchovies with green olives and guindilla peppers, creating a harmonious contrast of textures and tastes.  

The anchovies, sourced from the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the Cantabrian Sea, are hand-selected for their quality and cured in sea salt to enhance their deep umami character. Their smooth, meaty texture and intense brininess provide the backbone of the Gilda, while the green olives add a mild, buttery contrast. The guindilla peppers, known for their mild heat and slight acidity, introduce a pleasant kick that ties the flavours together.  Casa Santoña’s Cantabrian Anchovy Gilda is a ready-to-eat delicacy, perfect for serving as part of a tapas spread or as a flavour-packed snack with a crisp white wine, dry sherry, or a chilled vermouth. Its bold yet balanced profile makes it an excellent appetiser, awakening the palate with its salty, tangy, and slightly spicy notes.

 A symbol of Spain’s rich gastronomic tradition, the Gilda is simple yet sophisticated, offering an authentic taste of the Basque Country in every bite. Casa Santoña’s dedication to artisanal production ensures that each skewer maintains the perfect ratio of ingredients, making this a must-try for conserva lovers and those looking to experience one of Spain’s most iconic pintxos at its finest.

Los Peperetes Canned Boquerones bring the elegant simplicity of Spain’s beloved white anchovies to your table—without compromising an ounce of freshness or flavour. While fresh boquerones (often found behind the counter at specialty shops or tapas bars) need to be consumed within days and kept chilled, Peperetes’ version is preserved and packed at peak freshness using traditional methods and premium ingredients—so you get all the delicacy, with none of the rush.

What sets these apart? First, they’re expertly marinated in vinegar and olive oil, just like the fresh kind—but thanks to the canning process, their flavour mellows and deepens over time, giving them a beautifully balanced acidity and a luxuriously tender bite. Unlike some fresh versions that can lean overly sharp or vinegary, these have a more rounded, integrated taste.

Hand-packed in Galicia by one of Spain’s most respected conserva producers, these boquerones are also exceptionally consistent in quality, presentation, and flavour—something even fresh varieties can’t always guarantee.

Ready to enjoy straight from the tin, they’re perfect with crusty bread, olives, or a crisp glass of Albariño. In short: same delicacy, no compromise, longer shelf life. Just pure, bright, ocean-fresh flavour—anytime you fancy.
