Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Seacuterie board?
A Seacuterie board is the seafood-forward evolution of the charcuterie board — replacing cured meats with premium tinned fish, conservas, and smoked seafood, paired with crackers, olives, pickles, and spreads. The term combines 'sea' and 'charcuterie.' It has become a major food trend driven by the quality of modern premium conservas brands like Fishwife, and pairs naturally with Mediterranean pantry staples like Kalamata olives, Greek spreads, and EVOO-based dips.
What is the difference between conservas and regular canned fish?
Conservas is the Iberian tradition of hand-packing premium wild-caught fish in high-quality oil using artisan methods — a world apart from industrial canned fish. Conservas fish is typically wild-caught from sustainable fisheries, hand-filleted, packed in extra virgin olive oil or brine, and aged in the tin to develop flavor. The result is a product closer to charcuterie than canned tuna — meant to be eaten straight from the tin, not cooked.
What Fishwife products do you carry?
We carry four Fishwife conservas: Smoked Salmon with Fly By Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp (wild Alaskan, BPA-free collectible tin), Smoked Rainbow Trout in EVOO (slow-smoked over beechwood outside Copenhagen), Cantabrian Anchovies in EVOO (MSC-certified, hand-filleted, salt-cured 6–12 months), and Slow Smoked Mediterranean Mackerel with Chili Flakes in EVOO. All are gluten-free and high in Omega-3.
What is Hellenic Farms Vegan Fig Salami?
Hellenic Farms Vegan Fig Salami is a plant-based charcuterie alternative made from raw Greek figs pressed into a salami-like log with natural add-ins — Pistachio & Cinnamon, Orange Zest, or Almonds & Pepper. It contains no added sugar, no artificial additives, and requires no refrigeration (shelf-stable 4+ years). It slices like salami and serves beautifully on cheese and charcuterie boards as a vegan-friendly centerpiece.
What crackers do you carry for Seacuterie boards?
We carry Patagonia Provisions crackers — Regenerative Organic Certified wheat crackers in three varieties: Organic Sourdough Sea Salt (light, classic, pairs with everything), Rosemary Garlic (herbaceous, Mediterranean-forward), and Toasted Cheeze (savory, pairs well with tinned fish and soft cheeses). All are made with regeneratively farmed wheat and are free from artificial additives.
