Patagonia Provisions is the food arm of Patagonia — the outdoor brand that has spent decades fighting for the health of the planet. Their White Anchovies with Lemon & Olive are a revelation: delicate, mild, and bright — worlds apart from the intensely salty, salt-cured anchovy most people know.
White anchovies (boquerones) are fresh anchovies marinated in vinegar rather than salt-cured, giving them a completely different character: silky, tender, and clean-tasting, with a gentle brininess rather than an overwhelming saltiness. Here they’re finished with lemon and olives, adding a bright citrus lift and a fruity, savoury depth that makes them endlessly snackable. Responsibly harvested from sustainable Spanish fisheries. High in protein, omega-3s, calcium, and vitamin B-12. Gluten-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
I don't like anchovies. Will I like these?
Probably yes! White anchovies are completely different from the salty, brown anchovies you might know. They're mild, delicate, and not fishy at all. Many people who dislike regular anchovies love white anchovies.
What's the difference between white anchovies and regular anchovies?
White anchovies are fresh fish marinated in vinegar, giving them a mild, delicate flavor. Regular (brown) anchovies are salt-cured, which makes them much saltier and more intense.
Are these sustainably sourced?
Yes! Patagonia Provisions sources only from responsible fisheries. Anchovies are naturally one of the most sustainable seafood choices because they're abundant, fast-growing, and low on the food chain.
Can I eat them straight from the tin?
Absolutely! They're ready to eat and delicious on their own. Just drain if desired and enjoy with bread, crackers, or as part of a larger spread.
How do I store them after opening?
If you don't finish the tin, transfer the anchovies to a covered container, keep them submerged in oil, and refrigerate. They'll keep for several days.
What do the olives add?
The olives provide savory, briny depth that complements the mild anchovies beautifully. They're delicious to eat alongside the fish!
