Tinned Fish Club for April: Ati Manel Sardines, Conservas de Cambados Scallops, Classico Piteu Tuna
Conservas de Cambados Zamburiñas en Salsa Gallega
From the tidal estuaries of Galicia’s Rías Baixas—one of Spain’s most prized shellfish regions—comes this delicacy from Conservas de Cambados. Specializing in the traditional preserves of the Galician coast, the company sources zamburiñas (small scallops) from local fishermen who harvest sustainably in these nutrient-rich Atlantic waters.
The scallops are gently cooked and packed by hand in salsa gallega, a savory sauce of olive oil, tomato, onion, white wine, and smoked paprika. Each tin is a warm, briny embrace from northern Spain, best enjoyed heated gently and served with bread, rice, or a chilled Albariño.
Clássico Pitéu Atum em óleo vegetal
From the Azores archipelago, Pitéu has long been a staple of Portuguese pantries. This tin features firm, flavorful tuna fillets packed in vegetable oil—nothing more, nothing less. It's a simple preparation that honors the quality of the fish, sustainably caught in the clear Atlantic waters surrounding the islands.
Pitéu, meaning “delicacy” in Portuguese, lives up to its name with this satisfying conserva. Ideal for salads, sandwiches, or straight off the fork, this is a pantry classic made with care.
Ati manel Sardinhas em Azeite com limāo
Founded in 1922 near Figueira da Foz, Ati Manel is steeped in family legacy. After decades of dormancy, the brand was revived by the great-grandson of the original founder, using the family’s original notes and recipes to preserve the soul of traditional Portuguese canning while updating it for modern tastes.
In this tin, the sardine reigns supreme. As the family story goes: the sardine is queen of the sea—and only the lemon is worthy to keep her company. A bright, balanced pairing that honors heritage and lets the fish shine.
