Spain, home to some of the world’s most celebrated seafood, has long captivated global palates. In recent decades, its influence has grown even stronger in the U.S. market, particularly with the rise of the snack boom driven by Gen Z and Millennials. With this shift, we saw an opportunity to bring something new—something bold, adventurous, and unmistakably José Andrés.
We set out to design a brand that dodges the usual conventions of tinned fish. Inspired by the adventurous spirit of Chef José Andrés, we built a concept that stands apart—lively, bold, and full of personality. Instead of conventional landscape packaging, we introduced a vertical format, instantly modernizing the shelf presence.
Uncoated paper boxes, striking color palettes, and dynamic illustrations bring each product to life, offering a fresh approach to an age-old staple.
Each variety— Smoked Octopus, Lemon-Kissed Sardines, Sardines in Olive Oil, and Mussels in Pickled Escabeche Sauce —features its own distinct, block-print-inspired illustration, celebrating the craft and tradition behind every tin. The result is a collection of beautifully designed products that feel like small works of art—each one a vibrant addition to any pantry.
An adventurous and playful series of fish snacks from Spain brought to you by the hands of Chef José Andrés.
Working alongside Gourmet Foods International and José Andrés Group, we refined naming, positioning, and market fit to ensure Fishsnax connects with the next generation of tinned fish lovers. Every element—from typography to illustration—was crafted to engage, inspire, and elevate the everyday tinned fish snacking experience.
To add a sense of play, we included skin-safe temporary tattoos in every tin—a fun nod to adventure and seafaring culture, making each package more than just a snack, but an experience.
