Based in Santona in Cantabria. This is a small family producer formed by Emilia Ruiz, a veteran of the conservas industry of Northern Spain. Garfish, sometimes referred to as Anguilla or Needle Fish, are a long, slender fish caught off the Bay of Biscay. They’re much smaller and thinner than typical Australian garfish, and make a beautiful alternative to mackerel or sardines, with a firmer structure and less oily flavour. Conservas Emilia gently confit the garfish in olive oil before they’re tinned.
