Boquerones - Spanish Marinated White Anchovies

Marinated white anchovies, more commonly known in Spain and Portugal as Boquerones, are a Mediterranean specialty that offers a taste of these little fish at their best. Ortiz harvests their anchovies fresh, quickly cleaning and filleting them the same day to preserve maximum freshness and flavor. Marinated in wine vinegar to enhance their taste, then packed in olive oil, garlic, and parsley, they offer a bold and savory flavor in each bite. A favorite choice for tapas and appetizers, they’re the ideal way to whet your guest's appetite alongside a bottle of chilled white wine.

Catching Cantabrian anchovies in their prime and preparing them with fresh herbs and whole spices, Ortiz has garnered a reputation for creating some of the best tinned fish on the market. The anchovy is one of the most popular fish for cooking. Delicious and versatile, they impart rich umami flavor to your dishes. As healthy as they are tasty, anchovies are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.
