The Cantabrian Sea — the stretch of Atlantic coastline along northern Spain and the Bay of Biscay — has been producing the world’s finest anchovies for over a century. The cold, nutrient-rich waters produce fish with a richer, meatier, more complex flavor than anchovies from any other region. And Fishwife sources from Europe’s first and only MSC-certified sustainable anchovy fishery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach fillet is hand-filleted by skilled artisans on the Cantabrian coast, then salt-cured for 6–12 months before being sealed in premium Spanish extra virgin olive oil.
