Overview
Beyond tuna, our Manta plant packs small pelagics — principally mackerel — using the same cooking, filling and sterilisation lines and the same laboratory controls. Fillets are hand-finished for premium presentations in glass-style and standard cans.
The Manabí brand line includes mackerel fillets in olive oil (120 g), spicy and lemon variants, tuna ventresca in olive oil and ready recipe bases. All formats are available for private label with your recipe and artwork.
Mackerel offers buyers a lower-cost, high-omega-3 canned fish that complements tuna assortments in retail and food service.
