Pujado Solano Marinated Anchovy Fillets in Oil, 110g

Pujado Solano Filetes de Boquerón are butterfly-filleted white anchovies from the Cantabrian Sea, hand-prepared in Santoña, Spain, and marinated in vinegar before being packed in sunflower oil. The anchovies are caught using selective purse-seine fishing certified by the Marine Stewardship Council, then filleted whole - opened out into a single butterflied piece rather than split into two fillets - by the “sobadoras,” the skilled women of Santoña whose craft has been passed down for generations. The result is meaty, tender and unmistakably artisanal.

Boquerones like these are made for the tapas table. Lay a few fillets across a slice of crusty bread with a swipe of alioli, or scatter them over a tomato salad with good olive oil and a scattering of parsley. They're just as good folded through a potato salad, draped over grilled peppers, or served simply on their own with a squeeze of lemon and a glass of something cold - the marinade does most of the work, so there's barely any effort involved.

Why we love it:

• Made in Santoña, Cantabria - the historic heartland of Spanish anchovy production
  
• MSC certified: caught using selective, sustainable purse-seine fishing with full traceability back to the boat
  
• Butterfly filleted by hand, one fish at a time, by the sobadoras de Santoña, rather than split into two separate fillets - a slower cut that shows off the whole shape of the fish
  
• Prepared fresh, within hours of landing, then marinated for around 48 hours in Pujado Solano's own vinegar, water and salt formula, rather than long-cured like a traditional brown anchoa
  
• A meaty, juicy texture that's distinct from a cured anchovy fillet - brighter, softer and more delicate
  
• A genuinely artisanal product from a family producer, not a mass-market pickled fillet
  

How to use:

• Lay 4-5 fillets over toasted bread with a squeeze of lemon or a swipe of soft butter for a simple tapa
  
• Scatter over a tomato and red onion salad with a drizzle of good olive oil
  
• Fold through a warm potato salad, or serve alongside grilled piquillo peppers
  
• Once opened, keep the fillets covered in their oil, refrigerate, and eat within a few days for the best texture
