The Asturian Cantabrian Sea in a tin: buy Agromar preserves

In 1948 Armando Barrio Mata had an original idea in Gijón: to tin the roe of the oricio, the sea urchin then abundant on the Asturian rocks. He registered the brand in 1968 and today Agromar is still in the port of Gijón, a few metres from the fish market, where it buys Cantabrian albacore, anchovy and hake. If you want to buy Agromar preserves, here is their range and that of Arbeyal, their second brand of Asturian dishes.

Their range

• Sea urchin caviar: the urchin roe where it all began, in two formats.
• Albacore: in olive oil, belly, nape, upper loin in escabeche and extra chunks.
• From the Cantabrian Sea: anchovies in oil or escabeche, hake cocochas, spicy hake roe, baby eels and sliced octopus.
• Pâtés: spider crab, lobster, anchovy, sardine and scorpionfish, and Arbeyal's Cabrales cheese pâté.
• Asturian recipes: albacore in cider, albacore roll, onions stuffed with albacore, fabes with clams, mussels with cider vinegar and piquillos stuffed with spider crab or albacore.
• Arbeyal: Asturian fabada, also in a jar of almost two kilos, Asturian pote with greens and compango, and stewed beef cheeks.

Before serving

The pâtés, cold on toast. The albacore in cider and stuffed onions, warmed in a bain-marie. And the fabada over a low heat, with a glass of cider alongside.
