Sardines with Orange

La Perle des Dieux - Sardines with Orange in Rapeseed Oil

The La Perle des Dieux Sardines with Orange are caught off the coast of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie, a small community southwest of Nantes, France, which still largely relies on fishing, and preserved in colorful sardine tins. A simple but good recipe, sardines with fresh orange, because the acidity of the lemon enhances the flavor of the fatty fish, which is marinated in mild rapeseed oil. A good combination and a harmonious blend of fish from the north with oranges, the fruit of the south.

La Perle des Dieux - best sardine tins

La Perle des Dieux is arguably the most feminine cannery among sardine producers. No wonder, as founder Claudie Vardelle was for a long time the manager of a Parisian fashion store before she founded La Perle des Dieux in 2005 with Philippe Gendreau, whose family has been producing canned fish for 4 generations. It was also her idea not to illustrate the colorful metal tins with fish or fishermen, but to find young female artists who would take a completely new approach to designing canned fish. This led to the two wonderful series of vintage sardines, one by Delphine Cossais (La Mademoiselle) and one by Coralie Joulin (Lulu), which have shaped La Perle des Dieux's reputation.

Of course, it's not just the charming appearance that makes La Perle des Dieux sardines so special. The sardines are caught off the coast of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie, once a famous fishing port, and carefully cleaned by hand while still fresh, then filled into tins. For the recipes of the flavored sardines and anchovies, basic ingredients of the best quality are used, and delicious canned fish is produced according to traditional or newly inspired recipes.
