Ortiz, Cantabrian canned fish
1. Canning Ortiz, sustainable fishing
Ortiz uses a big range of techniques to fish the albacore, but on the Cantabrian coast they are still using the same traditional arts of yesteryear, ensuring the preservation of species. The traditional technique of "live bait (cebo vivo)" and " (lacacea) trolling" to catch Albacore and "fence (el cerco)" is used for anchovy.
For fishing, still fresh and alive baits are used, to more effectively attract the fish. The practice of live bait is a common method of fishing and widely used throughout history by Cantabrian fishers.
2. The development process: tradition and craftsmanship
- Fishing
The anchovy fishing at the time of the year in which the anchovy is in the perfect spot: firm texture, right size and color and unique flavor. During this period the organoleptic qualities of anchovy are optimal.
- Salting
After evisceration process, anchovies are placed in separate by salt and allowed to mature in barrels for at least 6 months layers. The maturation time is very important to achieve a great aroma, flavor and texture.
- Packaging
The next step is the hand filleted anchovies carefully with a knife. The result, fleshy anchovies and intense flavor. A delicacy, intense aroma, meaty texture and distinctive flavor.
3. Where are the canning coming from?
This very peculiar fact of cooking food and vacuum packaging them was the brainchild of a Frenchman, under Napoleon, who promised a prize to anyone who will help preserve food.
This young French cooker, Nicolás Appert, he began to experiment and observe that boiled food more than 80 degrees without being exposed to air, lasted longer without being spoiling.
The tinplate was invented by an Englishman whose name was Peter Durand.
In Spain we met the canning food because of a French ship, that was shipwrecked in the Costa da Morte. The following year there were a cannery in Galicia.
The fish canning are all a classic in Spanish grastronomy. Every year, a Spanish person eats more than 4Kg. The most consumed product is the mussel, specially in scallop sauce and brine sauce.
