Fishwife Cantabrian Anchovies — 3-Pack Tinned Fillets in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 12‑Month Salt‑Cured

Fishwife Cantabrian Anchovies (3-Pack) are hand-packed, twelve-month salt-cured anchovies from the Cantabrian coast, packed in Spanish extra virgin olive oil for a rich, buttery flavor.

These anchovies come from Europe's first MSC-certified anchovy fishery and are prepared by a third-generation family cannery on Spain’s northern shore. Each fillet is cured for a full year, then carefully placed in BPA-NI tins with locally sourced extra virgin olive oil to preserve texture and deepen flavor. Bright, briny, and remarkably mellow compared with typical supermarket varieties, they’re designed to elevate everyday recipes and special occasion dishes alike.

How are these anchovies sourced and packed?

Fishwife works with a purse seine fishery that holds MSC certification, which helps ensure traceability and sustainable catch methods. A family-owned cannery on the Cantabrian coast hand-processes the fish using time-honored techniques and modern food-safety standards.

• MSC-certified Cantabrian anchovy fishery for responsible sourcing
• Hand-packed by a third-generation family cannery
• Salt-curing for 12 months to develop buttery texture
• Packed in BPA-NI tins with Northern Spain extra virgin olive oil

What do they taste like and how should I use them?

These anchovies are noted for a rich, silky mouthfeel and a balanced, savory saltiness rather than harsh fishiness. They’re versatile: spread on bread, stirred into sauces, or folded into salads to add deep umami and complexity.

• Buttery, mellow flavor from long salt-curing
• Perfect for toasts, sauces, pasta, and dressings
• Adds concentrated umami without overpowering other ingredients
• Ready-to-use fillets straight from the tin

How should I store and preserve opened tins?

Unopened tins are shelf-stable at room temperature, making them ideal for pantry storage and low-maintenance use. Once opened, cover the fillets and refrigerate—consume within three days for best texture and flavor.
