Mariscadora Garfish in Escabeche
$6.00
Garfish are similar to sardines and anchovies and sprats, but are their own thing. Hard to describe, but once you experience them, you’ll never confuse the two. Sort of like a head of iceberg lettuce and a head of cabbage. All the text, and all the photos and drawings in the world aren’t really going to provide foolproof differentiation. But if you hold one in your left hand and one in your right, you’ll always know which is which.

Garfish lovers are really gonna appreciate this one. It’s pretty darn good escabeche and I’ve never seen a tin combine the two before now. Texturally, these are definitely unmistakably garfish – above average firmness & density. The moisture levels are average-to-below-average in the garfish category (which has less moisture than sardines, of course). I was hoping for a little bit more moisture and softness to be honest, but the sauce didn’t seem to positively impact the fish as much as I noticed in Mariscadora’s escabeche sardines. Overall it was a fun tin and a delicious tin, but not one that will necessarily make me buy garfish more regularly. If you’re new to garfish, I’d probably instead point you to Paco Lafuente or Ati Manel spiced as a great intro tin … but this holds great appeal to garfish fans. Worth trying!

This turned out to be a rather unique tin! I normally think of mussels when I see escabeche but wanted to see how garfish pairs with this sauce. Turns out pretty darn well! The garfish still kept its firmness, I was expecting the vinegar base to soften them up. The taste was what I remembered garfish to be, a blend of sardine and albacore tuna to my palate. As mentioned in the previous review, the escabeche coated the exterior of the fish and didn’t penetrate deep in the flesh. That said, the sauce was a nice change of pace from the typical oil-based tins. Worth trying at least once!
