The “Ramon Peña” company, based in the Galician region of Ribadumia, can look back on a history spanning over 90 years: founded in 1920 by José Peña Oubiña in Cambados, Galicia, the company is now run by the third generation, led by Nely Concheiro. Its business is the production of premium canned fish and seafood from the Rías (fjords) of Galicia, made without additives and enjoyed worldwide. As the only company in its sector, it is protected by the “Pesca de Rías” brand, which guarantees the origin and quality of the product.

Ramon Peña’s stated goal is to inspire gourmets and restaurateurs around the world to rethink their choices. For this reason, only fresh, seasonal fish are used, and everything is done by hand except for sealing and labeling the cans. The combination of the finest ingredients, time-honored traditional recipes, and meticulous quality control results in products of the highest quality that are thoroughly convincing.

The squid family includes, for example, squid, octopuses, and cuttlefish. They are usually about 30 cm long and can weigh up to 5 kilos. In the kitchen, their delicate arms are particularly popular, as is the black ink the animals release when threatened. It can be used to color pasta or rice. Their meat is firm and lean and tastes delicious raw (e.g. as sushi), briefly cooked, pan-fried, grilled, or deep-fried.

Even the ancient Romans prized sardines and ate them salted, marinated, or smoked. To this day, the sardine—when quality and production methods are right—remains a premium product.

For the sheer pleasure of it, you should by no means miss out on the many other wonderful creations that showcase the incomparably rich range of flavors available in canned sardines: sardines in a fruity sauce, in white wine, in butter, with water and lemon… Try them!

The sardine is still a focal point for many port cities in Brittany, as well as in Spain and Portugal. It is not considered an endangered species.
