JG Jacques Gonidec – Finest French Canned Fish

The home of Valérie and Jacques Gonidec, the third, is in southern Brittany on the Atlantic near Concarneau. Their Conserverie Gonidec is a family-run business that has been producing canned fish using traditional methods since 1959. The fresh sardines of exceptional quality, as well as other fish like mackerel and tuna, are caught off the coast of Brittany and cleaned, cut, and preserved by skilled hands at the Conserverie, then placed by hand in olive oil in the beautiful cans. In 1995, the cannery moved to new, modern production facilities. Many specialties and new flavors have joined traditional recipes since then, but the know-how about canned fish remains the same for all products.

Sardines are migratory fish, so sardine fishing is seasonal. In early spring, the famous sardines appear near the Breton coast. Conserverie Gonidec obtains fresh fish daily from fishermen in the harbor of the small town, and has done so for 40 years.

As soon as the fish arrives at the factory, it is immersed in a saltwater bath with ice. This process, also known as brining, allows the sardine flesh to scale and firm up. Then, about forty employees manually perform the "tripping," cleaning and gutting the sardines. They are then showered and dried on racks before being fried in hot oil and allowed to rest and drain overnight. The canning ("Emboitge") takes place the next day, when the sardines are freed from their tails and heads and placed by hand into the cans. Today, JG Jacques Gonidec is the only remaining Conserverie in Concarneau.
