Producer: Costas y Miñan

Location: Galicia, Spain

Story: Like the start of any good story, Mariscadora begins with an accountant and a fisherman. Founders Angel Costas and Floriano Miñan first met at a now defunct cannery where Costas ran the books as an accountant, and Miñan applied his lifelong knowledge of local seafood as the cannery’s purchaser. In 1966, sensing that bankruptcy was on the horizon for their employer, Costas and Miñan decided to jump ship and start their own factory. Mariscadora is the inhouse line of tinned seafood for the cannery.

The ocean has shaped the culture, cuisine, and economy of Galicia for centuries. Nicknamed “the land of a thousand rivers”, Galicia is studded with bays and inlets which are fed “rías” (aka estuaries). It's this magical brew of the fresh and salt water that makes Galicia one of the most prolific shellfishing and fishing regions in the world.

What’s Inside: octopus, olive oil

How it tastes: “Now that’s some FRESH a$$ olive oil!” Floral and vibrant Spanish olive oil bathes tender coins of sliced octopus. You’ll want to save every last drop of oil left in the tin to use throughout the kitchen. 

How to eat: I beg of you to eat this straight from the tin and soak up the remaining oil with a legitimately good piece of fresh bread. Or add the octo to a salad with fresh, crunchy veg, and use the oil to make a luminous vinaigrette.  

Box Description: Cracking open this tin is like booking a one way ticket to Spain! Perfectly tender coins of octopus are suspended in a bath of the most flavorful Spanish olive oil that practically *glows* from inside of the tin like a beacon. Every last drop of golden oil deserves to be savored and used in salads, dressings, or to gild fresh bread. Responsibly sourced from the prolific waters of Galicia, Spain and preserved in olive oil crafted in the same region… this is a can of fish that you can feel real good about.
