Story: Like the start of any good story, Mariscadora begins with an accountant and a fisherman. Founders Angel Costas and Floriano Miñan first met at a now defunct cannery where Costas ran the books as an accountant, and Miñan applied his lifelong knowledge of local seafood as the cannery’s purchaser. In 1966, sensing that bankruptcy was on the horizon for their employer, Costas and Miñan decided to jump ship and start their own factory. Mariscadora is the inhouse line of tinned seafood for the cannery.
The ocean has shaped the culture, cuisine, and economy of Galicia for centuries. Nicknamed “the land of a thousand rivers”, Galicia is studded with bays and inlets which are fed “rías” (aka estuaries). It's this magical brew of the fresh and salt water that makes Galicia one of the most prolific shellfishing and fishing regions in the world.
