Anchovies

When it comes to looks, the anchovy is similar to the herring and sardine, it’s part of a large family of fish of over 140 subspecies which can be found all over the world. You can recognize it by its small body, protruding head, big eyes and the red-greyish color of its fish meat. Not sure if you’re looking at a herring, sardine or anchovy? Then there’s no other solution than to taste it: herrings and sardines taste a bit milder than the anchovy.

Our anchovy fisheries

Globally there are only two MSC-certified anchovy fisheries - one in Spain and one in Argentina. Both work closely with Sea Tales, so honest anchovies are guaranteed. Mar del Plata is the home port to the first MSC-certified anchovy-fishery in the world. Getaria, our anchovies fishery in Spain, was the first in Europe to become MSC-certified.
