Formaggio Kitchen Tinned Fish Subscription

Bring the Vast World of Tinned Fish to Your Door Each Month!

Over the 47 years that we've been in business, we've seen the tinned fish category grow from a regional delicacy found mostly in Spain and Portugal to a global business with connoisseurs who appreciate this preserved taste of the sea all over the world. Our tinned fish buyer at Formaggio Kitchen has curated a selection that has something for every tinned fish lover: from staples like really good tuna packed in olive oil to more rare and obscure finds like cod liver. When sourcing tinned fish, we look for producers that practice sustainable fishing as well as ones that work in an artisan fashion, whether that be by using traditional methods, operating at a small scale, or both.

Our Tinned Fish Subscription is perfect for the seafood lover looking to dive into the vast world of tinned delicacies and discover new favorites.

March 2026 Selection

Sardines

This month we’re highlighting the versatility of the humble sardine, showcasing a variety of tins from around the world.

Ortiz Sardinas A la Antigua Jar

'A la Antigua,’ meaning ‘old style’ in Spanish, references the fact that the sardines are packed in olive oil with their silvery skins still on. The sardines in this jar are caught between August and November, with seine fishing and preferably at dawn, to guarantee the best flavor. Spanish company Ortiz uses sardines of the Sardina pilchardus variety which are prepared by hand and preserved in olive oil.

Fangst Brisling Sardine No. 1

´Brisling,’ known as the ‘Nordic sardine,’ is a small fish that traditionally was landed in great numbers along the Scandinavian and Baltic coastlines. Danish company Fangst smokes the small fish with heather and chamomile and hand-prepares them to be preserved in the tin with cold-pressed rapeseed oil.

Les Mouettes d'Arvor Sardines with Olive Oil and Lemon

Les Mouettes d'Arvor is a French cannery founded and run by the Breton Gonidec family since the 1950's. They are renowned for their traditional methods and high quality tins. These sardines are fished on day boats right off the coast of Brittany and prepared by hand, with just extra virgin olive oil, lemon, and salt, as soon as unloaded.

Matiz Small Sardines with Piquillo Peppers

These ‘sardinillas’ or small sardines are wild-caught in the waters of Spain, Italy, and Croatia. They are then hand-packed at Matiz’s facility in Galicia in northern Spain. Prized for their plump, tender texture and rich flavor, they are prepared in traditional Spanish style with Spanish olive oil and a touch of sweet piquillo pepper.
