From 1972 we started selling Dutch cockles massively, which were until then unknown in Spain. The secret was that the fishing was done with boats that caught about 20 tons of cockles in 8 hours while in Spain they were collected with a rake, by hand. This allowed many Spaniards to have access to high quality canned seafood at a reasonable price. In the 1980s, we sold more than 16 million cans of this article annually supplying the largest importers and Spanish chains.
