La Narval Sardines in Olive Oil with Lemon

La Narval uses sardinillas (Sardina pilchardus), widely regarded as the finest sardine species for conservas, valued for flavour, texture, and natural fat balance. Sourced from local Portuguese waters, the sardines are caught by artisanal coastal fleets operating small boats that fish and return the same day, ensuring peak freshness and a responsible catch.

Each sardine is cleaned by hand and cooked prior to canning, a traditional step that sets the flesh and delivers a clean, consistent texture. Preserved in olive oil with fresh lemon slices, the preparation adds brightness and lift while keeping the focus on the fish.

Suitable for tapas, salads, or simple plated dishes. Best served at room temperature.

About the Producer

Conservas La Narval is a Galician conservera based in the Ría de Arousa, one of Europe’s most respected fishing estuaries. La Narval works with locally landed fish and shellfish, sourced seasonally from small coastal boats under regulated quotas. Processing is deliberately hands-on and minimal—fish are hand-cleaned, hand-trimmed, and hand-packed, preserved using simple, time-tested preparations that enhance the seafood rather than dominate it.
