RELEONEChargrilled Mackerel
The caballa del Cantábrico — the small spring mackerel of the Galician coast — is the connoisseur's grade of the Cantabrian Atlantic, the fish its conserveras reserve for hand curing.

Chargrilled Mackerel.
Along the Cantabrian Atlantic, the spring mackerel run supplies the Galician conserva tradition with its most selective raw material. The small caballa del Cantábrico is taken during a brief seasonal window; its compact size gives denser flesh and a cleaner proportion of fat to muscle than larger specimens offer. The connoisseurs of the region have long reserved these small fish for careful hand conservation — the grade the coast keeps for itself.
Releone's Chargrilled Mackerel renders this tradition in glass. The fillets are chargrilled over wood, then the skin and every bone are removed by hand — skinless, boneless, nothing to work around. The prepared cuts are packed in single-grove Andalusian extra-virgin olive oil at the measured pace of Galician conservera practice. No other ingredients.
The Chargrilled Mackerel is the catalogue's accessible entry — the SKU designed to be the first Releone jar a customer ever opens. It is also, in the founder's reading, the best argument the catalogue makes that preserved seafood does not have to be expensive to be considered. At eighteen dollars, the Chargrilled Mackerel is the price of a casual lunch for one. What is in the jar is the Cantabrian spring, recorded on a chain for the life of the underlying cryptography.
