PIRATE CANNERIE

Based in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, in the heart of the French Basque Country, Pirate Cannerie is reinventing tinned fish with an artisanal, creative and deeply committed approach. Founded by Lucie Lesgourgues, this small-scale cannery is built around a simple idea: to turn tinned fish into a true delicacy, while staying mindful of the sea and its precious resources.
 

It all starts at the fish auction in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, where Lucie personally selects her fish, prioritising freshness, seasonality and responsible fishing practices. Back at her workshop, everything is prepared and handled by hand, with meticulous attention to every step of the process. No added preservatives or additives, just beautiful ingredients, carefully crafted recipes and sometimes unexpected flavour combinations: teriyaki tuna, miso-ginger trout or chimichurri octopus.
 

From reducing food waste and ensuring traceability to using recyclable packaging, Pirate Cannerie champions a more thoughtful, sustainable way of producing and enjoying food, without ever compromising on pleasure.

​

A wonderful way to bring the best of the sea into a tin, with character, creativity and plenty of flavour.
