From Portuguese Waters to Your Table: The NURI Spiced Mackerel Story

There's something magical about opening a tin of NURI Spiced Mackerel. The distinctive aroma of perfectly spiced fish, the gleam of high-quality olive oil, and the knowledge that you're about to experience one of Portugal's finest culinary treasures. At International Loft, we've made it our mission to bring this exceptional product directly to American tables.

A Legacy of Excellence

Since 1920, Pinhais has been crafting NURI's renowned canned fish in Matosinhos, Portugal. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, each tin of NURI Spiced Mackerel is still prepared following traditional methods: hand-selected fish, carefully trimmed by hand, and packed by skilled artisans who understand that excellence requires patience and precision.

The International Loft Difference

What sets our NURI selection apart? We maintain a direct import partnership with Pinhais, ensuring a continuous flow of fresh stock every two months. This means:

• Optimal freshness guaranteed
• Longest possible best-by dates
• Pristine condition from factory to your doorstep
• America's largest selection of NURI products

The Perfect Pantry Staple

Each tin of NURI Spiced Mackerel offers a perfect balance of flavors. The natural richness of Atlantic mackerel meets a proprietary blend of spices, creating a versatile ingredient that's equally delicious straight from the tin or incorporated into sophisticated recipes. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and essential nutrients, it's both a culinary delight and a healthy choice.

Elevated Home Cooking: Japanese-Style Mackerel Rice

Transform your NURI Spiced Mackerel into an innovative fusion dish that marries Portuguese excellence with Japanese comfort food traditions. This pressure cooker recipe makes it accessible for both novice and experienced cooks.

Ingredients:

• 1 tin NURI Spiced Mackerel (reserve oil)
• 2 cups each of sushi rice and water
• 2-3 cloves garlic, finely minced

3. Create the Egg Ribbons
   • While the rice rests, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat
   • Add a thin layer of beaten egg to coat the bottom
   • Once set but still glossy, roll and push to the side
   • Repeat process, creating delicate layers of egg
   • Slice the egg roll into thin ribbons
4. Final Assembly
