About Carmelo: Carmelo is a luxe edit of Iberia’s finest tinned fish curated by Patrick Martinez, the founder of The Tinned Fish Market. It must come from marine ecosystems where sea life thrives. It must be fished seasonally, sustainably, and must be prepared by hand. This is the Carmelo manifesto.
About Galicia: Galician fish and shellfish is said to be the best. This is because cold, nutrient and oxygen-rich Atlantic waters are driven into the estuaries by powerful ocean currents, strong tides, and summer winds caused by a natural phenomenon called the Iberian Upwelling System. The result of these nutrient-dense waters mixing with the estuary freshwater is a unique marine ecosystem rich with plankton and small invertebrates which fish and shellfish can feed on and thrive.
