Blue Cove’s products are more than just tinned fish; they are a reflection of centuries-old European traditions, combined with sustainable practices and an unwavering dedication to quality. Blue Cove’s signature offering, tinned branzino, comes in two elegant recipes — branzino with castelvetrano & kalamata olives or branzino with roasted piquillo peppers — hand-packed in fine olive oil with herbs. Earlier this year, Blue Cove was honored with the prestigious Good Food Award, presented by culinary icon Alice Waters, recognizing its excellence in craftsmanship and sustainability. Notably, Blue Cove Preserves can be found in premier locations such as Jean-Georges’ Tin Building in New York City and some properties within the Montage Hotel Group and Four Seasons, providing their guests with innovative, high-quality seafood experiences.
