Description
As populations of large apex-predator fish like tuna and swordfish plummet, anchovies and other forage fish can thrive with responsible harvest. Unlike the salty, fishy anchovy filets of pizza fame, our canned Spanish White Anchovies are prized for their mild flavor and delicate texture, and are hand-packed in extra-virgin olive oil. Anchovies are small, schooling fish, allowing us to enjoy seafood with the health and environmental benefits of eating lower on the food chain.
Nutrition:
- Excellent source of protein, calcium and vitamin B-12 (see nutrition information above for total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol content)
- 660 mg omega-3s per label serving
- Anchovies are short-lived and low on the ocean food chain, so don’t have the high levels of toxins often found in longer-lived, large predators like tuna and swordfish
Packaging:
- Can is 100% aluminum, BPA-NI* and recyclable (if clean and dry)
*Bisphenol-A Non-Intent: No BPAs were intentionally added to the packaging.
Sourcing:
- Sourced from thriving, well-managed populations in the Bay of Biscay, off Northern Spain
- Small-scale purse seines reduce bycatch and prevent overharvest
- Anchovies reproduce fast, making them a more renewable resource
- Our fishermen belong to centuries-old cofradias, or guilds, which share profits and encourage cooperation
- Processed, seasoned and canned by a family-owned certified B Corp, also in northern Spain, that employs mostly women
