“Hijos de José Serrats, S.A.†(“Serrats†preserves) is located in Bermeo, in the Coast of the Bay of Biscay (Spain). During 120 years we have been dedicated to the art of the production of canned fish.
Serrats
Our fish preserves are characterized by the highest quality. Our preserves are elaborated by only using the finest raw materials: fresh fish of the finest quality and specially selected. And always respecting the traditional fishing tackle.
The handmade preparation of the preserves, transmitted and improved over five generations, is one of the keys of our success.
