Ar De Arte - Fried Mussels in Escabeche

£12.50

Mejillones fritos en escabeche.

These bright beauties from Ría de Arousa will make you understand why these particular estuary mussels have such a reputation. Each mollusc is hand-picked for size, then lightly fried to create their firm and tender texture. The escabeche is good. Quality white wine vinegar, garlic, and bay leaves creating a sharp tang that makes your mouth water.

Seven to ten substantial mussels per tin. The traditional Galician way is to eat them straight off good potato crisps. The contrast between creamy mussel flesh, zingy marinade and salty crunch is genuinely addictive. Or just serve the tin with a fork and a cold Albariño. Either way, you're getting some of the best shellfish you’ll find inland.

Ingredients: Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) (mollusc), olive oil, wine vinegar, bay leaves, garlic, spices and salt.

About Ar De Arte

Alejandro Canedo launched Ar de Arte in 2019 from a simple conviction that Galician seafood deserves better than mass production. This small cannery produces premium Spanish tinned fish exclusively from Rías Baixas waters, hand-selecting each piece and packing every tin individually.

Their scallops come from waters that produce some of Europe's sweetest shellfish. The mussels deliver clean brininess that reflects these nutrient-rich estuaries. Their sardines show the bright character that makes Galician fish worth seeking out.

Each tin receives individual attention—no batch processing, no shortcuts. The seafood arrives fresh from local boats, gets prepared using traditional Spanish conservas methods, and is packed by hand one tin at a time. This approach means limited quantities but consistent quality.

The tins feature original artwork by Galician painter Fernando Rei Castiñeira, connecting each conserva to the region's artistic heritage alongside its culinary reputation.
