There are places where time moves more slowly. Where the air carries the scent of pine resin and salty sea breeze. Where stories live on in people, in the streets, in fishing boats—and in sprats.
The initiative
It is in one such place, in Engure, that a true masterpiece has been created—Engure Smoked Sprats. This is not just a product, but a heartfelt tribute to our beloved village, created with the intention of preserving and sharing a story that has been written together for more than a century.
Each can of this product holds a piece of history—inside you’ll find ten authentic photographs from our company archives, each accompanied by a historical story about Engure. This is no ordinary tin of fish, but a part of history you can take with you.
The recipe is based on wild Baltic sprats, traditionally smoked over wood shavings, then covered in high-quality sunflower oil and sprinkled with a pinch of sea salt.
These ingredients carry deep symbolism—sunflower oil reflects the warmth and brightness of Engure’s summer days, while sea salt embodies the power and eternal presence of the Baltic Sea. The pine tree symbol on the label honors the strength, resilience, and pride of our coastal forests.
This product is more than a delicacy—it is a memory, a feeling, and a gesture of gratitude you can carry with you. It is our sincere tribute to Engure—a place where hardworking, honest, and caring people have helped keep traditions alive for over a hundred years.
Engure Smoked Sprats is a small, but meaningful way to carry this story further into the world.
