Premium Mussels in Spicy Escabeche with Olive Oil

La Narval is a celebrated Galician conservas producer with a long tradition of hand-packing the finest shellfish from Spain’s Atlantic coast. Their Premium Mussels in Spicy Escabeche with Olive Oil are one of their most characterful tins: plump Galician mejillones packed in a traditional escabeche — Spain’s ancient vinegar-based marinade — with olive oil, smoked paprika, and a kick of chili that makes every bite more interesting than the last.

Escabeche is one of the great Spanish culinary traditions: a preservation method that uses vinegar, olive oil, and spices to create a marinade that is simultaneously tangy, smoky, and deeply savoury. On a mussel of Galician quality, the result is extraordinary — the natural brininess and sweetness of the shellfish amplified by the acidity of the escabeche and the warmth of the spice. The most exciting mussel tin on the conservas board.
