The tinned fish craze has taken over New York City, with brands like Fishwife, Jose Gourmet, and Luisa Paixao offering high-end options in decorative tins. Despite the fancy packaging, tinned fish doesn’t have to be expensive, with affordable supermarket options like Trader Joe’s Wild Caught Boneless Grilled Sardines in Olive Oil and Wild Planet’s responsibly sourced canned fish. Diana Goldfarb, founder of Fishwife, touts tinned fish as the ultimate “hot girl food,” packed with protein and flavor.
Barbara Rich, lead chef-instructor at the Institute of Culinary Education, recommends incorporating tinned fish into meals like salads, pasta dishes, scrambled eggs, and deviled eggs. Tinned fish can also be enjoyed straight out of the tin or on crackers, potato chips, or toast. The versatility of tinned fish makes it a convenient and flavorful addition to any meal.
Although tinned fish has been around for centuries, its popularity has surged in recent years, especially among younger consumers looking for convenient and healthy meal options. With a wide range of flavors and options available, tinned fish continues to be a staple in many households and restaurants.
