Looks interesting! As good as it sounds?

Güeyu Mar makes a fantastic tinned sea cucumbers.

Absolutely. Some of the best tinned fish I’ve had. I’m cash-poor as a result, but fish-rich.

Their fish friends want to pass along a message that they’d like you to stay cash-rich, and fish-poor.

And Bernal Cutlery’s Ferry Building branch has a good selection considering how small the kiosk is.

Also agree with @shrinkrap about World Market.

I bought some Spanish ones from Good Eggs (delivery service).

Both online retailers, but I second Rainbow Tomatoes Garden. They have tons of Ramon Pena (both Silver and Gold versions). I also like Donostia Foods for their standard issue clams and cockles, which are a bit more affordable.

I’ll also second Cost Plus as having a surprisingly decent selection!

A little more expensive than Costco, but a good selection

They are a restaurant, but they have a counter at the front for just buying tins and cheese.
