Beech-smoked Nardín anchovy fillets 100g

Location: Guipúzcoa, Pais Vasco

Nardín is a family business that has bought from selected boats in the tiny Cantabrian port of Getaria for the last 40 years. They only buy from approved boats, fished in season. Due to the dramatic shortage of the anchovy in the Bay of Biscay, they buy the best fish from the Mediterranean. The fresh fish are smoked on the same day they are caught, before being cured in brine and then packed by hand.
