Post #31 - May 23rd, 2023, 3:57 pm'Market Place', a radio show on WBEZ / NPR, had an article tonight that tangentially talked about a store called 'Tinned Fish' on the West coast ( Portland, Seattle, LA ?? - I wasn't listening that closely ). It was a market / restaurant specializing in tinned fish.
Jennie went OMG, what a horrible concept. I went OMG, I need to go there.

One of the most famous and beloved -- and awesome -- restaurants in Barcelona does just this. If you're ever there, Quimet Y Quimet should not be missed.

Post #33 - August 18th, 2023, 1:59 pmHi,
The other evening, I sat down to a tin of Wild Planet's Wild Sardines in extra virgin olive oil, lightly smoked in a 4.4 ounce tin. These sardines were scale free and sustainably caught in the north pacific.
The box states, "... Rich mild flavor." I would translate this to mean just about no flavor. Any smoke was mild, too. It was first time I felt the need to shake some salt on to bring on any flavor. I didn't hoping the salt in the crackers would help, but it barely made a flavor dent.
I have one more tin of the same and another packed in water.
Regards,

Next time, drape an anchovy or 2 over the top.

You did not like them?
Those scales have to be so tiny, though apparently important to someone.
Lynn - The anchovy would super power the flavor. Or you can mask with toasted bread, raw sliced onion and mustard.
My Dad loves Baltic smoked sardines, which are too smoky for me.

I'm a fan of Rainbow Tomatoes, tip-top in my book.
Locally Fresh Farms Niles Touhy location has a decent selection of canned fish. The Golf Road store contains a much larger selection. Oddly Touhy’s prices are slightly lower. Nuri are $3.99 on Touhy, $4.29 on Golf. Also oddly, Nuri are in the Asian section. Both stores have multiple sections of sardines. Canned Fish plus sardines in various ethnic sections.
World Market, Trader Joe’s have a decent selection and I understand Wixter Market has a good selection of upmarket tin fish. I have not been as of yet.
Rainbow Tomatoes, count me a fan!

Yeah they weren't my favorite. Felt a little more bland than most of the other canned sardines Ive tried.
Not surprising but woodman's has the largest selection of tinned fish I've seen in a grocery store. Also, happened to see a few selections for purchase at lost Larson this morning.

Post #43 - August 25th, 2023, 7:13 amStopped at Mariano's on Halsted and Monroe on my way into work this morning. They have a large display of Spanish products near the fresh seafood. Rice, paella ingredients, oils and a nice selection of tinned fish. Prices are much the same as you see online (high).

They've expanded the selection at Monroe/Halsted with a separate display. Does not look like they're selling well. Don't think their average customer is used to spending that much on a small tin.

Canned Seafood Moves Beyond Tuna Sandwichesat ap.com, Julie Watson and Haven Daley wrote:A pandemic-era trend appears to be sticking.
Sardines swirling in preserved lemons. Mackerel basking in curry sauce. Chargrilled squid bathing in ink. All are culinary delicacies long popular in Europe that are now making their mark on U.S. menus.
The country's canned seafood industry is moving well beyond tuna sandwiches, a pandemic-era trend that began with Americans in lockdown demanding more of their cupboard staples.
Since then, the U.S. market has only expanded, fueled by social media influencers touting the benefits of the high-powered protein food in brightly colored metal containers. On the TikTok channel Tinned — Fishionado, Kris Wilson posts recipes for quick meals, including one mixing leftover rice, soy sauce, avocado and a runny egg with a tin of smoked mussels from the Danish company Fangst.
Tinned fish, as it's called in Europe, is now a regular offering on menus at wine bars from San Francisco to Houston to New York, where patrons scoop the contents straight out of the can. There are even tinned fish clubs that mimic wine clubs by sending members monthly shipments of various seafood packed in various combinations of spices, oils and sauces. Videos on tinned fish, from tastings to how-to tips on cleaning the fishy smell from cans, have generated more than 30 million views on TikTok.
U.S. canned seafood industry sales have grown from $2.3 billion in 2018 to more than $2.7 billion so far this year, according to market research firm Circana.

Post #47 - November 24th, 2023, 11:41 amI have found the ‘Goya’ brand of tinned seafood very palatable and much much cheaper than the boutique Spanish brands.

The King Oscar ‘Royal Selection’ sardines are as good as anything out there and the new container is superb.

Woodman’s has a good selection.

BTW our canned salmon and tuna come from Chuck’s by the case.
Excellent quality!

Post #48 - November 26th, 2023, 10:04 amJust noticed that the Bannockburn Marianos now has the display sort of between the deli and seafood areas. Very impressive selection, kind of amazing actually. Matiz, Ortiz, Yurrita, Jose Andres, among other brands. Wide selection of products.

They've been rolling it out to their locations. Can't imagine who's buying it, the price points are pretty high, including for things like paella starter.

Ha! I bought a couple cans* at Mariano's yesterday. The selection is really well researched and I'm legitimately excited to try some new cans.
