From our friends at Fino Foods:

La Narval "Special Selection" - Rock Octopus in Galician Sauce with Olive Oil - 110g

This octopus is Octopus vulgaris, the most highly valued species for its tender texture and clean, savoury flavour. Living among rocky seabeds, it is captured individually using nasas—traditional pots that allow selective harvesting while respecting strict quota and size regulations.

Only the best sections are selected and hand-cut to ensure consistency and texture. The octopus is preserved in olive oil with Galician Sauce, providing gentle warmth and aromatic depth while keeping the focus on the natural character of the octopus.

Suitable for tapas, warm seafood dishes, or simple plated starters. Serve at room temperature or gently warmed.

About the Producer

Conservas La Narval is a Galician conservera based in the Ría de Arousa, one of Europe’s most respected fishing estuaries. The company operates with a clear purpose: to preserve the traditional Galician approach to seafood conservation through precision, restraint, and respect for raw material.

La Narval works with locally landed fish and shellfish, sourced seasonally from small coastal boats operating under regulated quotas. Only seafood at optimal maturity is selected, prioritising texture, natural fat content, and flavour over volume or yield.

Processing is deliberately hands-on and minimal. Fish and shellfish are hand-cleaned, hand-trimmed, and hand-packed, then preserved using simple, time-tested preparations designed to enhance the character of the seafood rather than dominate it.

Today, Conservas La Narval combines traditional craftsmanship with modern food safety standards, producing conservas defined by clarity, balance, and consistency. Their tins reflect the essence of Galician coastal cuisine—honest, precise, and uncompromising.
