Where to buy conservas in LA?

Americas - USA West Los Angeles
21

Hey LA Conserva fam,

I was able to get my hands on Conservas Gueyumar (https://www.conservasgueyumar.com/en/home/).

This is the first time they are in the US, ever!

Their distributer was intro’d to me and I was lucky enough to procure some at wholesale since I am in the wine/pop up world.

They are sending me extras that I don’t need and didnt realize they were charging me for :frowning:

If anybody wants to take these off my hands for the holidays, you can pick up contactlessly in LA or we can meet up for a handoff. Just looking to recoup cost and get some of these conservas to people who will appreciate them.

Gueyu Mar - Sardines Tails

Gueyu Mar - Cockles

Gueyu Mar - Sardines Loins

Gueyu Mar - Sardines Loins Pickled

Gueyu Mar - Squids in Ink

Gueyu Mar - Razor Shells

Also, the tins themselves look really cool and would make great gifts.

Also, if anybody wants anything by the case, just message me.

Very interested!
How about a sampler pack with one of each?

I’m with @wanderlustre. Would love to try a sampler pack.

Shoot me message for now guys and I will figure out what I have when I get the package. It’ll mainly be the Sardines (for now). If people have interest in getting a lot more, I can have them ship to me.

Can anyone educate me on the differences of eating a preserved sardine loin vs a tail vs the whole fillet? It certainly seems to be dancing (swimming?) on the head of a pretty small pin, but if some company has gone to the trouble of separating them there must be a material difference.

This new site was listed in NYT. I don’t know much about this topic

Didn’t know Patagonia was in this game

I tried Patagonia sardines and/or mackerel and/or anchovies recently (bought at store in Jackson Hole) and thought they were bad compared to European conservas. I have no idea exactly why; they just didn’t taste as good. I wouldn’t buy them again.

Anyway, DTLA Cheese in Grand Central Market has a big selection of conservas (or at least they did 1-2 years ago).

The Patagonia stuff is pretty decent. A step above supermarket stuff. I’ve seen them on sale a few times and definitely worth it at sale prices. This was at Lassen’s.
Made a trip up to Epicurus Gourmet today and they’ve greatly expanded their selection since the last time I went. Lots of fun choices and they also stock Espinaler Sauce. Used to have to order from Caputo’s.

DTLA Cheese now has their own stand alone store and their Conserva Selection is tight, but well curated. It’s just down the street from GCM.

I’m putting together gift bags for work (conservas, cheeses & such) and came across Fishwife’s sweet site. Of course, I also had to get a few things for myself. I’ll post as I open & eat them.
