La Curiosa - Galician Small Scallops with Chilli & Garlic

£9.95

Small scallops from the Ría de Arousa get the chilli and garlic treatment that makes Galician bar food so addictive. These sweet little creatures soak up the aromatic oil whilst keeping their distinctive shellfish character intact.

The chilli builds gently as you eat—never aggressive, just warm enough to make you reach for another. Garlic ties everything together with that mellow depth that comes from careful preparation. This recipe lets the scallops remain the focus whilst adding just enough flavourings to create something extra special. Spoon them over rice with parsley, or just eat them straight from the tin with crusty bread. Simple tapas that delivers.

Ingredients: Small Scallops (Aequipecten opercularis) (crustaceans), olive oil, garlic, and chilli.

About La Curiosa

La Curiosa offers a refreshing counterpoint in the Spanish tinned fish landscape—a young brand without multi-generational tales yet deeply connected to Galician canning craft. Founded by Cristobal Fernández, whose mother's 15-year cannery career sparked his fascination, this brand balances respect for tradition with youthful energy.

What makes La Curiosa stand out is their commitment to producing exclusively in Portomar's factories surrounding Ría de Arousa—Galicia's seafood heartland. Their quality Galician conservas maintain time-honoured techniques, including rarely seen processes like fish roasting, while bringing fresh perspective to a traditionally conservative industry.

Each Spanish tinned delicacy features seafood from Galician waters at peak seasonality, following the natural rhythms of the sea rather than market demands. Their approach is decidedly hands-on—pieces carefully selected and positioned by skilled workers to ensure proper presentation and flavour, with sauces made from traditional recipes using only natural ingredients.
