La Perle des Dieux – Sardines with Seaweed Pesto

The La Perle des Dieux sardines with seaweed pesto are fished off the coast of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie, a small commune southwest of Nantes, France, which still largely relies on fishing today, and are preserved in colorful sardine tins. Sardines with wonderfully aromatic pesto made from sea algae or sea lettuce combine these flavors with the best olive oil. This recipe from the popular canned fish manufacturer combines the best of the sea (fine French sardines) with the pleasant aroma of pesto, which contains basil as well as sea algae, tofu, and ground almonds.

La Perle des Dieux – the best sardine tins

La Perle des Dieux is probably the most feminine cannery among sardine producers. This is no surprise, 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 together with Philippe Gendreau, whose family had been producing canned fish for 4 generations. It was also her idea not to illustrate the colorful metal cans with fish or fishermen, but to find young female artists who would take a completely new approach to designing canned fish. This is how the two wonderful series of vintage sardines were created, those by Delphine Cossais (La Mademoiselle) and those by Coralie Joulin (Lulu), which have shaped the reputation of La Perle des Dieux.

Of course, it's not just the charming exterior 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 packed 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 from them according to traditional or newly inspired recipes.
