The Ancestral Origin of Dried Flying Fish from the Cádiz Coast

Dried flying fish is, in its own right, a living expression of the history of the seafaring towns along our coast. Seasonally caught, flying fish stand out for their lean and firm flesh—an essential biological quality for undergoing the traditional process of open-air drying and salt-curing. At the facilities in Barbate, every stage of this ancient craft is carefully overseen, achieving a concentration of juices and an unmistakable briny nuance that evokes the purest essence of the Atlantic.

How to Enjoy This Treasure of Our Seas

Enjoying dried flying fish at home is like relishing the most genuine tapas culture of the coastal towns of Cádiz. Its firm, taut texture makes it the undisputed star of informal appetizers or gourmet salt-cured seafood boards. Simply peel away the outer skin, extract its clean loins, and slice them into thin strips or flakes to discover a bold, clean, and 100% natural bite—completely free of additives or chemical preservatives..
