Sardine Paté by José Gourmet
Portugal is famous for its sardines and high-quality seafood. In recent years, the vibrancy and creativity within its tinned fish culture have captured people's imaginations and become a global food phenomenon.
José Gourmet is the smallest fish cannery in Portugal, based just south of Porto. They source their fish fair trade at fish markets all along the Iberian Atlantic coast. The fish is then sent straight to Porto where their team prepares and tins the fish on the very same day that the fish has landed. This ensures the very best flavours and textures for the fish.
Aside from the exceptional quality of their fish, José Gourmet has become iconic because of its beautiful packaging. Each recipe is decorated with an illustration commissioned by a different illustrator. Their fish is delicious with some nice crusty bread and is perfect in a hamper or on a board.
Fish : Sardines
Sauce/Seasoning : Olive oil, lemon, and a hint of spice.
Tasting Notes : Rich and creamy, this sardine paté offers deep, savoury flavours balanced by the zesty notes of lemon and a gentle warmth from the spices. Its smooth texture is perfect for spreading.
We deliver your fish ourselves in our refrigerated van, ensuring it stays at the perfect temperature from our shop to your doorstep. We currently deliver Tuesday to Saturday across selected London postcodes, including SW, SE, CR, W1 and W2.
Prefer to pick up your order? Order online and collect your fresh fish from either of our London shops in Clapham or Peckham. We'll prepare everything ready for your arrival.
Freshness is at the heart of everything we do. Most of our fish comes directly from trusted suppliers who work closely with day-boat fishermen. By cutting out the middleman and avoiding the larger fish markets, we can bring you beautifully fresh fish with more time to enjoy it at home.
For the very best flavour and quality, we recommend enjoying your fish on the day of delivery. However, when stored correctly in the coldest part of your fridge, most fresh fish can be kept for up to 2–3 days.
We deliver all our fish ourselves, using our own refrigerated van rather than relying on third-party couriers. This means we're in complete control of your order from start to finish, ensuring your fish is handled with care, kept at the correct temperature and arrives beautifully fresh.
For now, we deliver to selected London postcodes, but we're working towards expanding our delivery service across the UK soon.
Pop your fish straight into the coldest part of your fridge, ideally between 0–4°C. If you're not cooking it that day, unwrap it from the paper and transfer it to an airtight container to keep it fresh.
Fish for the future? Most of our fish can also be frozen on the day of delivery. If a product isn't suitable for freezing, we'll let you know in the description above.
