Jacques Gonidec and his parents in Concarneau, Bretagne, founded the Conserverie Gonidec in 1959. For a line of top-quality sardines and fish, he took the name of his favorite football team "Les Mouettes d'Arvor" (Arvor's seagulls). Now, under the leadership of the third generation, the company has expanded and revamped its manufacturing facilities to meet European standards while retaining its artisanship.

Small boats travel along Brittany's southern coast using sustainable fishing practices only. In ice-cold salt water, sardines are first "cured," which strengthens the flesh. The fish are slightly dried after being cleaned and then quickly fried. The tasty combination of basil and thyme brings a touch of freshness. The fish are cut and placed into the can, by hand, after resting overnight, and coated in EVOO.
