ABC+ Horse Mackerel "Ravigote" Sauce
About This Tin
ABC+ elevates the humble horse mackerel with their vibrant "Ravigote" sauce—a bright, invigorating emulsion that transforms this Portuguese staple into a culinary revelation. These carefully selected Carapau (as they're known locally) are specifically chosen for their petite size, which Portuguese fishmongers prize for their concentrated flavor and superior nutritional profile. Each fish bathes in a French-inspired sauce that balances sharp pickles, aromatic herbs, briny capers, and subtle spices to create a tinned seafood experience that quite literally "revives" the palate.
This artisanal creation represents ABC+'s commitment to honoring cross-cultural culinary traditions while showcasing Portugal's maritime bounty. The small-batch production begins with selecting the smallest, most flavorful horse mackerel from local markets, followed by meticulous hand-packing with the vivacious Ravigote sauce—a time-honored French preparation that dates back centuries. The marriage of these tender Atlantic fish with the punchy, herbaceous sauce creates a perfect harmony where neither element overwhelms the other, instead creating something greater than the sum of its parts—a true testament to ABC+'s mastery of the conservas craft.
What Makes It Special
- Size-Specific Selection: ABC+ specifically sources the smallest horse mackerel available at Portuguese markets, recognized locally for their superior flavor concentration and nutritional density.
- Cross-Cultural Brilliance: The French-inspired Ravigote sauce adapts a classic culinary tradition to perfectly complement this quintessentially Portuguese fish, creating a unique Franco-Iberian fusion.
- Invigorating Profile: The vibrant combination of acidity, brininess, and aromatic herbs creates a genuinely refreshing tinned fish experience—offering a palate-cleansing quality rarely found in conservas.
Perfect Pairings
- Rustic Tartine: Pile atop crusty sourdough bread with a thin spread of cultured butter and sharp aged cheese, allowing the bread to soak up the electric Ravigote sauce.
- Summer Garden Salad: Arrange over a bed of peppery greens with thinly sliced radishes, cucumber ribbons, and fresh herbs, using the sauce as a ready-made dressing.
- Picnic Platter: Serve at room temperature alongside pickled vegetables, marinated olives, and chilled white wine for an effortless outdoor feast that celebrates the sauce's refreshing qualities.
