Stickleback in Pickled Sauce

Stickleback in Pickled Sauce

With a lower caloric value than the sardine, the stickleback, for instance, is a good option for those wishing to find variety, both in flavour and in the nutrients. Our stickleback is caught in the North East Atlantic Ocean and prepared with the excellence and simplicity of the pickled sauce. Tomato, vinegar, onion, bell pepper, white pepper and laurel offer an experience rich in contrasts, while simultaneously soft and balanced.

Blue jack mackerel, Club mackerel… and many more, all day long in a brouhaha. But a horse mackerel took hold of the situation: he started reading a story and got their attention.
