Our Products

Conserva means preserved in Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian and is the common word used in those countries to describe tinned seafood. Drawing inspiration from this Mediterranean tradition, we preserve our fish in high quality olive oil. All of our tinned seafood products are produced from wild caught fish and lobster in the Gulf of Maine. Canned by hand in an FDA-approved facility, this ensures quality and health standards are met. Our fishing vessel, the F/V Figment, is based out of Rye Harbor, New Hampshire.

Tinned Bluefin Tuna

Our bluefin tuna is caught via rod and reel, always one fish at a time. Great care is taken to ensure the distinctive flavor of this special fish is conveyed by preserving and canning it in olive oil, inspired by the Mediterranean style. Giant bluefin are the only tuna that forage in the Gulf of Maine. Unlike other canned tuna, bluefin take on fat as they consume herring and mackerel in the cold waters off Rye, NH, making this tuna especially rich and delicious. By preserving the iconic bluefin tuna, we make it more accessible and are able to appreciate it in a larger flavor spectrum and in more applications. Bluefin tuna can now be enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner - from brunch with poached eggs to lunch on nicoise salad to small plates at dinner or a simple potato chip topper. See our Serving Suggestions section for some of our favorites.

Tinned Mackerel

Our mackerel is caught via rod and reel. This distinctively flavorful fish is loaded health benefits thanks to high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, an excellent source of selenium, niacin, and B vitamins. Mackerel is most commonly used for baitfish in the United States, however consumer demand in foreign markets is high. We aim to introduce an accessible way to enjoy this delicious fish, native and plentiful in the Gulf Of Maine.

Tinned eel

American eel smoked with Alder wood and packed in California virgin olive oil. This eel is farm raised by American Unagi in Maine. Think of it as sea bacon!
