Fish products

 

The Pilchard Works produces a range of fish products using traditional production techniques to bring out the best taste from sustainable stocks. From the moment of capture to the point where fish are processed by the cannery in Douarnenez, Brittany, every effort is made to get the best from the locally caught fish and the labours of the fishermen that catch them.

 

The canning process uses a combination of the latest in processing equipment with the most traditional of methods to capture the best flavours.
