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.

February 2026 Selection
Pasta Enhancements
This month’s selection of tinned fish was curated through a culinary lens: These can all be used to enhance your pasta dinners this month.
Armatore Tinned Grated Bluefin Tuna Bottarga
Bluefin tuna bottarga (salted and cured roe) is a Mediterranean delicacy. Armatore's tinned version comes pre-grated and is made using a traditional process that respects the local area and the guidelines of the International Commission for Atlantic Tuna Conservation. To preserve the roe, it is salted and dried very slowly, ensuring the best flavor and texture. It has a bold savory and briny flavor that enhances a variety of dishes.
The most classic use for bottarga is to make Spaghetti alla Bottarga, a traditional Sardinian pasta dish. In this dish, pasta is tossed with high-quality olive oil, garlic, and a generous amount of grated bottarga. The result is a quick dinner with a complexity that’s normally impossible to achieve so quickly.
Conservas de Cambados Jarred Cuttlefish Ink
This rich, artisanal cuttlefish ink is from producer Conservas de Cambados based in Galicia, Spain, known for their exceptional quality tinned seafood. Cuttlefish ink gives a variety of traditional Mediterranean dishes their distinctive black color as well as a rich, savory, umami flavor.
Add cuttlefish ink to your favorite homemade pasta dough recipe to give it a striking black color. Then use the resulting pasta to make a seafood-based pasta dish like Shrimp Scampi.
Old Habits Roe Herring Fish Sauce
New to our shelves, this artisanal, small-batch fish sauce is produced on Vancouver Island, Canada, by Old Habits Fermentation Co. It is made with only two ingredients: spring-harvested Roe Herring (Clupea Pallasii) and Vancouver Island sea salt. The mixture is then aged for 12 to 24 months to develop a complex flavor full of salty umami notes and a slight sweetness. We describe it as a cross between bottarga and traditional fish sauce.
This fish sauce can be used in a variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes. One of our favorite pasta dishes that use fish sauce is San Francisco-Style Vietnamese American Garlic Noodles. This simple, garlic-heavy, spaghetti dish gets a boost of umami from fish sauce and oyster sauce.
