El Capricho Cantabrian Santona Anchovy 24 fillets

What makes El Capricho Anchovies so Good???

First and foremost the fish! The anchovies from the Cantabrian Sea are known to be the absolute number one in the world and the small seafaring town of Santona in the North of Spain is known as the cradle of canned anchovies

The ridiculously talented, nimble fingered, all female team, bone by bone, hand fillet and prepare each beautiful anchovy. The process is so rigorous and specific, so difficult to teach, that seasonal staff are never hired or outsourced. The anchovy that enters through their door leaves it only when they have turned it into the delicacy that it is destined to be.

Each fillet is aged in salt for 12-18 months ( most companies only store 4-8 months). This long maturation removes all the water and fat resulting in a super intense umani flavour and unctuous meaty texture

We recommend taking out of the fridge two hours before eating, kneel as if in church and praise the Anchovy God that brought these exquisite morsels before you. Devour. 

It is no wonder that El Capricho placed 9th in ' Worlds Best Canned Products from the Sea' and 3rd place in the anchovy category

These fab artesans only buy anchovies from inshore vessels that use environmentally friendly fishing gear which reduces bycatch to a minimum
