The most exclusive bite in our collection of canned elvers

The elver, angula in Spanish, is the young of the eel and one of the most prized products in Spanish gastronomy. Its catch is seasonal and very limited, and its fresh price is among the highest of any fish. In a tin it becomes accessible: ready to serve, without having to cook it or find it in season.

Angula is not gula

It is worth telling them apart. Gula is a substitute made from fish surimi, shaped to imitate the elver. The angula is the genuine fish: the young eel, tender in texture and delicate in flavour. The ones in this collection are real elvers; the exact species is shown on each tin's label.

Choose your tin

• Conservas de Cambados: elvers in olive oil with a chilli, for a light spicy touch.
• Agromar: elvers in olive oil with salt and chilli, with nothing else to mask their flavour.

Before serving

Warm, never fridge-cold. The classic way: in a small clay dish with sliced garlic and chilli, just a few seconds over a high heat. They are eaten with a wooden fork, which does not pass on the cold of metal.
