Why have a mere caviar substitute when you can have a gourmet alternative, with sustainable commitment? With a bright black colour and subtle smoky flavour, Arënkha MSC is the perfect ingredient for any kind of recipe. It has many other uses than just a canapé and can be used in hot and cold dishes, without losing the colour or the shape, giving a touch of originality to all your salads, starters, pasta or fish dishes. Formerly known as Avruga, this is created from smoked herring by some very clever people in Spain. It has sustainable credentials as it has gained certification with the Marine Stewardship Council. A delicious, and affordable, alternative to caviar which really looks the part.
Cornish Hake with Rosemary, Garlic and Capers
Gorgeous Cornish hake with Rosemary, garlic and capers preserved in extra virgin olive oil. Hand made in small batches and lovingly tinned in Dorset. This succulent Hake is preserved with the Mediterranean flavours of rosemary, capers and garlic, in extra virgin olive oil. This holy trinity of ingredients infuses the quality extra virgin olive oil that perfectly compliments this prized British fish. We highly recommend you try this unique can with some crusty bread to mop up all the delicious oil, or try it as a warm salad with green vegetables, such as sprouting broccoli and perhaps an egg. This should be a larder staple as it can be used for all sorts of quick and delicious suppers. Here in the UK, we tend to associate tinned fish with sardines and cat food. Our continental cousins know rather better and have long appreciated quality tinned fish and know it as "Conservas". Brands such as Ortez have turned the tide in the UK and when I read of a new "craft cannery" in Dorset, I had to give it a go as it is just the sort of initiative that we like to support. The Dorset Conservas are really very good and can be put to all sorts of uses.
A fine tasting lobster butter (beurre de homard), which resembles a luxury lobster pate. The flavour is superb, with a strong, deep and well balanced taste of lobster and the texture is enjoyable and smooth on the palate. Spread a liberal amount on some warm finely sliced toast (with an optional side salad) for a luxury starter or deluxe canapes. For an extra special canape, put a dollop of caviar on top. Our lobster butter is prepared by Cruscana, a French food company founded in 1965 and specialising in creating seafood based butters based on the traditional recipes of Auguste Escoffier, the famous French chef. Once opened, refrigerate and eat within 2 days.
This premium lumpfish is a good addition to a canapé range - providing additional colour variation, a tighter texture and a contrasting taste. Ideal for serving with sour cream, cream cheese or other dairy products. Try it on blinis or on French toast.

A special selection from wild catch, on the way to their spawning grounds in Alaskan waters. The Salmon Roe is a wonderful vivid reddy orange colour, with large eggs that burst in the mouth, flooding the senses with flavours of the ocean with an unmistakable hint of silver and adventure. A big favourite in the office. Do be aware that there are various different types of Red Caviar. This example is Keta which is derived from the Chum Salmon. Keta is widely regarded as the very best Red Caviar.
