La Narval Mackerel in Olive Oil - 120g

La Narval Fillets of Mackerel in Olive Oil

This mackerel is a milder, more delicate species, valued for its clean flavour and fine texture. It is caught in the Golfo de Cádiz, along the southern coasts of Spain and Portugal, by small inshore fishing fleets operating under regulated and responsible practices.

Each fish is hand-peeled with a knife, never treated with chemicals or mechanical processes. This manual preparation preserves the integrity of the flesh, resulting in fillets that are clean, firm, and well-defined.

Preserved simply in olive oil, the emphasis remains on clarity, balance, and the natural character of the fish.

Suitable for tapas, salads, and 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. The company operates with a clear purpose: to preserve the traditional Galician approach to seafood conservation through precision, restraint, and respect for raw material.

La Narval works with locally landed fish and shellfish, sourced seasonally from small coastal boats operating under regulated quotas. Only seafood at optimal maturity is selected, prioritising texture, natural fat content, and flavour over volume or yield.

Processing is deliberately hands-on and minimal. Fish and shellfish are hand-cleaned, hand-trimmed, and hand-packed, then preserved using simple, time-tested preparations designed to enhance the character of the seafood rather than dominate it.

Today, Conservas La Narval combines traditional craftsmanship with modern food safety standards, producing conservas defined by clarity, balance, and consistency. Their tins reflect the essence of Galician coastal cuisine—honest, precise, and uncompromising.
