At the heart of Blue Cove Preserves lies the vision of founder Stephanie Fels, inspired by her multicultural upbringing and the cherished culinary traditions of tinned fish in southern Europe. Growing up in a French-Ecuadorian household, Stephanie experienced first-hand the elegance and nutritional value of seafood preserves, sparking a passion to cultivate this craft in North America. 

A winner of the 2024 Good Food Awards (bestowed by Alice Waters), Blue Cove Preserves is dedicated to transforming the perception of tinned seafood in the US, showcasing it as a nutritious staple rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamins and as a gourmet appetizer or a sophisticated addition to any dish. An unwavering dedication to sustainability and responsible sourcing matches this commitment to quality and nutrition. Blue Cove partners exclusively with suppliers that adhere to the highest standards of responsible fishing practices, emphasizing local sourcing from well-managed fisheries along the Atlantic coast.

Transparency and sustainability guide every step of Blue Cove Preserves' process, from sourcing to production. By rejecting longlines, trawling, gillnets, and other harmful fishing methods, Blue Cove ensures each tin represents not only the pinnacle of taste but also a commitment to preserving marine ecosystems. The absence of additional preservatives in Blue Cove's products highlights their dedication to clean, natural ingredients, sealing the freshness and quality of sustainably sourced seafood within every tin.

Collaborating with chefs and culinary experts, Blue Cove Preserves has developed a range of gourmet recipes that capture irresistible flavors, making each tin a testament to the craft of fine food preservation. As Blue Cove Preserves grows, Stephanie and her team remain rooted in their mission to make the world a more Blue Cove place, one tin at a time, inviting food lovers to explore the depth and richness of premium tinned seafood.
