Galician Tinned Fish Gift Box, 6 Tins

Description

Tinned fish is a pillar of Spanish gastronomy, and the Galician tradition is its high point. This box brings together six tins that make a full conservas board for two to four people, or a very good gift for anyone who loves Spanish food. Nothing to prepare: open, arrange, serve.

What is inside.

• Ramón Peña Sardinillas in olive oil (20/25 pieces): the mild, tender starter.
• Ramón Peña Xoubas with Padrón pepper: Galician sardinillas with a green-pepper note.
• Conservas de Cambados Mackerel Fillets in olive oil: rich and meaty.
• Paco Lafuente Mussels in Escabeche: tangy and savory.
• Paco Lafuente Cockles al Natural: sweet and briny.
• Alamar Razor Clam Pieces al Natural: the delicacy of the box.

Bought separately, the six tins come to $78.70. In the box they cost $69.95, a saving of about 11%.

How to serve it. Open the tins just before serving and arrange them on a board or plates, each with a small fork. Serve at room temperature with plenty of fresh bread, a bowl of potato chips from a bag (the classic partner for cockles and mussels), lemon wedges, a dish of good extra virgin olive oil and some olives or pickled peppers. Start with the milder tins (sardinillas, mussels), move on to the xoubas and cockles, and end with the mackerel and razor clams.

Storage. Keep the unopened tins in a cool, dry pantry at room temperature. Once opened, transfer the contents of each tin to a covered glass container, refrigerate and eat within 2 days.

Pairing. Albariño, cava, dry fino sherry, vermouth over ice or a very cold beer.
