La Mar de Tazones has worked with seafood in Asturias, on Spain's northern coast, since 1986. The company cans shellfish only in each species' season and extracts the meat by hand. Its range centers on crab and other shellfish.
The seafood is cooked in water from the Cantabrian Sea and packed with no preservatives or additives. Because it is already cooked, it can be eaten cold straight from the tin, and in Spain picked crab meat goes into salads, stuffed peppers and vegetable dishes.
La Mar De Tazones questions
Who makes La Mar de Tazones, and where?
La Mar de Tazones is run by Cetárea Tazones SL, a seafood company at El Musel, the port of Gijón in Asturias. Asturias is a region on Spain's northern coast facing the Cantabrian Sea, the stretch of the Atlantic Ocean along Spain's north. The company has worked with shellfish there since 1986.
What does al natural mean on La Mar de Tazones tins?
Spanish canned seafood is often packed in oil or a sauce. Al natural means the seafood goes into the tin with almost no added liquid, sometimes only its own juices, so the taste of the shellfish comes through on its own. Save any juices in the tin for a seafood rice or a pot of pasta.
