Pujado Solano Anchovy Fillets in Olive Oil

There are anchovies, and then there are Cantabrian anchovies — and the difference is not subtle. Pujado Solano has been working with the anchovies of the Cantabrian Sea for generations, hand-processing each fillet with the care and patience that this exceptional ingredient demands. The result is something that bears almost no resemblance to the thin, salty, aggressively fishy anchovies you might have encountered elsewhere.

These are plump, silky, and deeply savoury — rich with umami but balanced, complex, and genuinely delicious eaten straight from the tin. Which is exactly what you should do first.
