Small batch British tinned fish from Cornish cannery, Hevva!
Hevva's mussels in cold-pressed rapeseed oil is a unique, standout product. The rope-grown mussels are hand prepared and canned at the Hevva! cannery on a seaside farm in Bude, North Cornwall.
Recipe tip: drain and add to an omelette with chilli and garlic, garnish a paella, enjoy on crackers with cream cheese and a splash of hot sauce.
Hevva! chose to work with mussels, an ultra sustainable seafood, because it fits with its eco-friendly ethos: a wind turbine generates electricity on the farm, even powering the oven where the tinned fish is cooked and the magic happens.
More about the cannery:
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.
The Hevva! range is one we’ve watched evolve from initial idea (tins steeped in Cornish tradition that sit well in city delis) to finished (on point) product. When Hevva! first approached us for tips on packaging and the kinds of products UK customers might enjoy late last year, we jumped at the chance to get involved. Today, we couldn't be more impressed with what Hevva! has created.
