Los Peperetes Percebes (Gooseneck Barnacles) are one of the true delicacies of the Galician coast—rare, dramatic, and utterly unforgettable. Harvested by hand from the wave-battered rocks of the Atlantic shoreline, percebes are not just seafood; they’re an adventure, a testament to the bravery of the percebeiros who risk life and limb to collect them at low tide.

Peperetes captures the essence of this wild delicacy in each carefully packed tin. The barnacles are cooked simply in seawater, preserving their pure, saline flavour and distinctive texture. The result is intensely oceanic—briny, slightly sweet, with a deep mineral richness that evokes crashing waves and rugged coastlines. There’s nothing quite like it.

Each tin is prepared with the utmost care, selecting only the finest specimens and preserving their natural appearance and texture. Though traditionally eaten fresh, Los Peperetes has perfected the technique of canning percebes without compromising their character—making this a rare opportunity to try one of Spain’s most elusive seafood treasures in the comfort of your own home.

This conserva is best enjoyed simply: opened and served at room temperature, perhaps with a glass of Albariño or a crisp Manzanilla to complement its maritime character. The flavour is so striking, it needs no accompaniment—just curiosity and a sense of occasion.

Recognised with accolades for its commitment to quality and authenticity, Los Peperetes continues to set the benchmark for premium conservas. Their Percebes are a shining example of how tradition, craftsmanship, and nature come together in one small, extraordinary tin.

For the adventurous palate or the curious foodie, Peperetes Percebes offer a true taste of the Atlantic—raw, refined, and absolutely unforgettable.

“Conservas de Cambados” is based in Galicia in Northeast Spain. This is the region of the Arousa Ría, which is well-known not just for its size, but also for the richness of its marine life. This area is particularly suitable for harvesting clams, cockles, mussels, and other bi-valves. The Spanish believe canned seafood is a delicacy to be shared and enjoyed!

A true delicacy.

Across Spain it is a tradition to offer canned seafood as a delicacy at restaurants and bars. Great care is taken to prepare and package this delectable seafood in perfect condition, so that when you open a tin you are experiencing the true flavor of fresh seafood. The seas off the coast of Galicia in Northwest Spain are cool and rich in nutrients, making them an incredible fishing ground. “Conservas de Cambados” is located close to one of Spain’s largest Rías (estuaries), known as the 'Ría de Arousa'. Their facilities are very close to where the seafood is harvested, so they are able to use the freshest squid and shellfish available.

In Spain canned seafood has long been served in restaurants, bars and in the home as a gourmet dish. Cockles, or Berberechos, are small edible salt water clams that are handpicked along the coast of the Galician region in northwestern Spain. The process of hand picking ensures that only the best in size and quality are used. Careful attention is paid to processing & packaging so that you are able to enjoy a beautiful tin of shellfish in its sweet fresh salt water from the Rias Gallegas in your own home. The Berberechos are ready to eat right from the can, no cooking necessary. Peel back the lid and serve with small tapas items such as Jamón Serrano, almonds, and crusty bread.

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.
