Description
ABC+ skate fish in olive oil and curry is an Atlantic white fish preserve featuring the unique, fan-like texture of skate. This preparation utilizes traditional Portuguese canning methods and a mild spice blend to highlight a species rarely seen in the tinned fish market.
Craft & Origin
ABC+ sources skate from Atlantic coastal waters using sustainable methods. Following the traditional Portuguese pre-cooking method, the fish is steam cooked to set the proteins and remove excess moisture. This technical step is crucial for skate, as it preserves its distinct fibrous muscle structure and prevents it from stewing in the tin. The fish is hand-packed into tins with a blend of olive oil and aromatic curry spices, reflecting Portugal’s historical culinary ties to Goa. Production is managed at a boutique facility where manual cleaning and regional legitimacy are prioritized over industrial volume. Each tin reflects a commitment to technical precision and the preservation of traditional processing.
Flavor & Texture
Unique fibrous and tender texture with a clean marine character. Mild, savory warmth from the curry and a smooth finish from the olive oil.
How to Use
Serve on top of warm boiled potatoes or alongside a fresh cucumber and herb salad.
Why We Like It
