Sardines in Olive Oil with Quebec Seaweed

Conservas Santos is a Portuguese conservas producer rooted in the traditions of the Iberian canning industry. This tin is something genuinely original in the Santos range — a collaboration between the Portuguese conservas tradition and the wild seaweed harvest of Québec, bringing together two distinct food cultures around a shared Atlantic identity.

Atlantic sardines are packed in olive oil with wild seaweed harvested from the cold, clean waters of the Québec coast. Seaweed and fish is one of the oldest and most instinctive combinations in coastal food cultures around the world — the mineral, umami-rich character of seaweed amplifying the savoury depth of the sardine and adding a briny, oceanic quality that makes this tin taste more fully of the sea than a straight olive oil preparation. The Québec seaweed brings its own identity to the combination: wild, northern, and distinctly different from the seaweeds of the Mediterranean or the Pacific. The result is a tin that tells a genuinely interesting story — old-world technique, new-world ingredient, Atlantic through and through. Eat it on good bread, alongside other conservas for contrast, or anywhere you want a tin with something to say.
