Cornish squid in spicy tomato

Small batch British tinned fish from new Cornish cannery, Hevva!

Cornish squid in a mildly spiced tomato sauce, from Hevva! —  prepared at a cannery located on a 350-acre farm by the North Cornwall coast. Try this tender squid in rich spicy tomato on toast with chopped shallots and chives or stirred through pasta.

Hevva! - Cornish for "Here they are!" - was the cry raised by huers, the fishermen stationed at hillside lookouts above the Cornish coast, when a shoal of pilchards swam into view. It was the signal for the townsfolk to man the boats and head out to sea.

Hevva! uses small batches of fish, crustaceans and shellfish caught sustainably in UK waters. Like us, it uses the Marine Conservation Society’s Good Fish Guide to determine which fish to work with (A rating between 1 and 4 is considered sustainable).

The Hevva! range is one we’ve watched evolve from initial idea (tins steeped in Cornish tradition that sit well in city delis) to finished (on point) product. When Hevva! first approached us for tips on packaging and the kinds of products UK customers might enjoy late last year, we jumped at the chance to get involved. Today, we couldn't be more impressed with what Hevva! has created.
