Dardo selects its seafood and fish at the peak of the season in the main ports of the Galician Rías , working with fresh, locally sourced products. The fish are cooked, cleaned, and hand-packed, then served with their own sauces and marinades, prepared using traditional recipes.

Dardo's famous pickled mussels are a classic Galician appetizer: large, juicy, and firm, sourced from mussel rafts in the Galician estuaries, with a balanced and aromatic marinade. The same is true of their scallops, clams, cockles, and baby squid , perfect to serve as is or use in home-cooked and festive recipes.

At Bacalalo we bring you this range of preserves so you can enjoy the magic of Galician sea flavors at home, with the convenience of online shopping and careful shipping.

Since 1969, Conservas Dardo has been working with shellfish from the Galician Rías and fish from the Atlantic, guided by a clear philosophy: to respect the product and bring out its full potential. The combination of experience, knowledge of the sea, and meticulous preparation makes their preserves a sure bet for lovers of fine snacks.

Dardo selects its raw materials directly from the most important ports along the estuaries , choosing each species at its peak. This is evident in the size of the mussels, the flavor of the sardines, and the texture of the clams and cockles , maintaining a consistently high standard of quality.

Dardo's pickled mussels are one of their best-known products. The mussels come from mussel rafts in the Galician Rías, are cleaned, cooked, and packed in their own unique, balanced, and aromatic pickling liquid . They are ideal to eat straight from the can, accompanied by potato chips, crusty bread, or as the base for more elaborate tapas.

In addition to mussels, the Dardo range includes scallops in scallop sauce, baby squid in its own ink and in oil, razor clams, sardines, clams, and cockles . Each canned product is designed to offer a complete experience: a good size, flavorful sauce, and attractive presentation in the can.

At Dardo , traditional processes (hand-selection, individual packing, and sardine roasting) are combined with the modern technology necessary to guarantee food safety and freshness. This blend of craftsmanship and technical control allows for the preservation of the product's original flavor and texture.

With just one can, you can prepare pickled mussel toasts with mild mayonnaise , rice dishes with baby squid, scallop empanadas, warm salads with razor clams, or simply a classic dish of cockles on their own with lemon . Canned goods allow you to put together a restaurant-quality appetizer in minutes.

Canned seafood is perfect for those looking for quality products without the hassle of cooking . They don't need refrigeration before opening, have a long shelf life, and retain many of the benefits of fish and shellfish: protein, minerals, and healthy fatty acids . Keeping a few cans of Dardo at home means always having a gourmet option ready.
