AvgotarahoBottarga - "Fanari Fish"

Premium Smoked Fish Products from Greece

Since, the 1950’s “Vastardelis Family”, have been dedicated to fishing at the fisherman village of Fanari, located at the North of the Thracian Sea. Since then it has been a great tradition for the family to do the smoking of fishes. Smoking, at that time, was taking place in special rooms inside the family house. This experience was incorporated by the head of the family, Petros Vastardelis, & he gradually developed an integrated modern plant, creating a wide range of high-quality exceptional smoked fish using only traditional methods with no preservatives. All secrets of the recipes & also the art of preparing the fishes were passed on to his son Alexandros Vastardelis. He furtherly developed the facilities of the company into a modern plant, combining traditionally built ovens with modern technologies in order to enlarge his smoked fish sales range. He offers to his clients not only the great products of the past generations of the family but also new & unique products in the smoked fish market.

The “Bottarga” is made by processing, salting & drying grey mullet roe in a way that the final product is low in salt & high in moisture levels. To use remove the outer wax only from the part that you are going to consume & thinly slice it or crumble it. Wrap the remaining with cling film, keep it refrigerated & consume within 5 days.
