Cornish sardines

£8.95

Small-batch British tinned fish from Cornish cannery, Hevva!

Rich and subtly sweet Cornish sardines. The sustainably-caught sardines are dry-cured and simply preserved in rapeseed oil.

The sardines are fished close to the Cornish shore and bought at Newlyn's sunrise fish auction by the Hevva! team. The sardines are then prepared fresh on the Hevva! farm in Bude, North Cornwall.

Before they are cooked, the sardines are dry-cured in a small amount of salt and brown sugar to perfect the texture and amplify the flavour.

Hevva! - Cornish for "Here they are!" - was the cry raised by huers, the fishermen stationed at hillside lookouts above the Cornish coast, when a shoal of pilchards swam into view. It was the signal for the townsfolk to down tools and head to sea.

Like us, Hevva uses the Marine Conservation Society’s Good Fish Guide to decide which fish to work with. The cannery only cans fish with a good sustainability rating: between one and four.
