About Our Chilean Seafood

Chile has more than 4,000 miles of Pacific coastline, and its canned seafood is how that coast reaches the rest of the world. These are the tins and jars that sit in Chilean pantries for the occasions that matter: locos served cold with mayonnaise as an entrada, machas baked with parmesan and white wine, choritos and cholgas straight from the jar with bread and lemon.

We carry Robinson Crusoe, SanJosé, Geomar and Angelmo — the names Chileans recognise. Machas, locos, choritos, cholgas, almejas, erizo, centolla, jurel and surtido de mariscos, plus cochayuyo, the dried seaweed that goes into charquicán and summer salads. Everything here is shelf-stable until opened, which is exactly why it travels so well.

Chilean seafood is special-occasion food. It shows up at Christmas, at New Year, and any time somebody wants to put something on the table that tastes unmistakably like home.
