Unlike the salty, fishy, dark-brown anchovy filets of pizza fame, our White Anchovies are prized for their mild flavor and delicate texture. They’re canned without a salt cure, so they stay plump and light in color. For this Spicy style, we’ve amped the tin with chiles, cider vinegar and sweet bell peppers so every bite bursts with tangy-sweet heat. Not only are they delicious, these little fish allow us to enjoy seafood with the health and environmental benefits of eating lower on the food chain.
Sourced from thriving, well-managed populations in the Bay of Biscay, off Northern Spain
Small-scale purse seines reduce bycatch and prevent overharvest
Anchovies reproduce fast, making them a more renewable resource
Our fishermen belong to centuries-old cofradias, or guilds, which share profits and encourage cooperation
Processed, seasoned and canned by a family-owned certified B Corp, also in northern Spain, that employs mostly women
Why is an outdoor clothing company making food?
Industrial agriculture depletes soil, poisons water and threatens the outdoor places we love. Protecting the earth, and our future on it, means we have to find a better way. So we make foods that restore the planet instead of destroying it. As our founder Yvon Chouinard says, "People buy a jacket every few years, but they eat several times a day. If we're going to save our home planet, it starts with food.”
