Happy Sardinas began (in spirit, if not in paperwork!) as a joyful nod to Basauri’s vibrant community and the unforgettable place sardines hold in Basque tradition. Our name is a tribute to the gleeful moments when friends and families gather at riversides and festivals—always with laughter, always with sardinas sizzling nearby. We imagine our shop in Basauri at the crossroads of local industry and playful fishing fun, supplying everything from shiny lures to cuddly sardine plushies. Even if we’re more legend than locator pin, our mission is to celebrate sardinas—those tiny but mighty fish—bringing a splash of happiness, a wave of Basque culture, and a wink to anyone who ever dreamed of the sea.
