Would it be wise to attempt to survive exclusively on boquerones, crusty bread, and cold lager, preferably while perpetually wandering with friends amongst outdoor cafés and cozy taverns and striking up conversations with an endless cast of eccentric congenial characters? Perhaps not. But, it would be worth a try.
"Boquerones: Priceless! In James A. Michener’s ‘Iberia’ he says, 'I too crave anchovies above any other food.' The word ’too’ is referring to King Carlos V. When... Donostia had white anchovies available, I had to try them. The montadito (Spanish tapa) recipe that came with them is outstanding. These are the best anchovies I’ve ever tasted." - Jeffrey W.
White anchovies, particularly these white Cantabrian anchovies (boquerones) from the waters of northern Spain are simply that good.
The same fish as our renowned salt-cured anchovies, prepared in a different fashion. Filleted by hand, as is tradition, and packed in just extra virgin olive oil and wine vinegar with a touch of salt for a mild, fresh, and tangy flavor quintessential of San Sebastián. A favorite example (if you hadn't already surmised) of the classic ingredients you'll find at pintxo bars throughout the Parte Vieja.
Please note, boquerones are a delicate, semi-preserved product unlike the rest of our seafood conservas and thus the following information is pertinent:

Review Title: Took Me Back to Taberna de Ángel Sierra in Madrid
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars (Excellent)
Reviewer Name: Jorge F. (Verified Purchase)
Review Date: 2025-06-09
Customer Feedback:
After many trips to Spain, I finally had the chance to try boquerones en vinagre in Madrid—and I couldn’t get the taste out of my mind. Weeks after returning home to Los Angeles, I found myself craving that same fresh, briny flavor. That’s when I discovered Donostia Foods.\n\nI ordered their boquerones, along with a selection of fresh, high-quality olives, and was instantly transported. All I needed was a cold vermut or beer, and it truly felt like I was back in that charming old building in Madrid, savoring one of Spain’s most iconic delicacies.\n\nThe quality is exceptional, and the flavors are authentic. Donostia Foods brought a piece of Spain into my home, and I’m so glad they did.

Customer Feedback:
My boyfriend loves white anchovies and asked for specifically these for his birthday. so i went on and ordered them. however, my information automatically imputed and it was the wrong shipping address. i quickly emailed Donostia asking if they could switch the address so they’d get shipped to the correct place. They reached back out within a day with the nicest response and made sure the order was updated with the correct address. We got the anchovies within 2 days and safe to say, they didn’t last long. my boyfriend said they were the best anchovies ever (and he’s had a lot in his time)

I served them at a dinner party. Some said NO because they were anchovies, but after they had the tiniest of tastes, everyone dived in! They are delicious.
