Donostia Foods

Great canned imported fish products

All Donostia's offerings are the best but the cockles, a revelation. Try this spaghetti, you will not be mad at it (or me): while your (good quality) spaghetti is boiling (w/ a touch less salt than you normally use) very gently heat about 2-3 fat garlic cloves, sliced/chopped, in a *lot* (like maybe 1/3 cup) of good olive oil. As that *very* gently simmers, you can add a few red pepper flakes (but not essential). Drain the pasta (holding some water aside), add cockles in their brine and the oil/garlic. Add enough pasta to help emulsify and dress the pasta. Healthy squeeze of lemon, black pepper is nice here, as is (to my Italian-born husband's horror) some grated pecorino or parm or (best) mixture. The cockles remind him of his English seaside teen years and this pasta brings him back to his Roman childhood. And one of the simplest, most perfect pastas I've ever made.

Next time I will order double the amount!!! Great company. . . fast shipping, packed well, good customer service. . . . just an all around great experience.

I needed a gift for good friends and found it on your website. I am looking forward to surprising them on Christmas--I know they will be as pleased as I am. Appreciate your prompt service! PS: I went to high school with Andy Weiss the Senior, and he promoted your company on Facebook. I applaud you both!

Fast delivery, great products and amazingly efficient communication when we thought the parcel was lost. I would highly recommend this company.
