There's a debut line of products from Minnow, a new tinned seafood company created by the owners of the Hart's and Cervo's seafood restaurants, and they make Alaskan salmon, Icelandic cod liver and Spanish sardines accessible. During the temporary closure of their restaurants, Minnow owners Nialls Fallon, Nick Perkins, and Leah Campbell started up a new venture with the aim of "delivering high-quality, sustainably sourced tinned seafood with a Mediterranean theme to a younger clientele."
While Monkfish liver is a delicacy that's often referred to as "the foie gras of the sea," cod liver offers a delectable alternative that's just as smooth and buttery. Minow's cod liver is meticulously packaged by hand in its own oil and it is ready to enjoy in a wide variety of ways.
