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.

May 2026 Selection

Unusual Tins

This month we’ve curated a collection of tins that we consider more ‘unusal,’ featuring seafood that you don’t regularly see on the shelf.

IASA Branzino Fillet

Branzino (also known as Mediterranean sea bass) iis known for its pristine white fillets and delicate, slightly sweet flavor. To make this delicacy, the folks at IASA—producer of some of our favorite Italian anchovy products—start with sustainably farmed branzino fished from waters off the coast of Campania. The fish is cleaned, gently grilled and hand-packed in tins with mild olive oil, which allows the subtle smokiness and nuanced flavor of the fish to come through. IASA’s recipe is homage to the tradition of fisherman grilling fresh-caught branzino and drenching the fillets with olive oil.

Minnow Cod Liver

Cod liver is the foie gras of the sea! It’s fatty and rich, with a soft, silky, spreadable texture. Minnow sustainably sources theirs from the clear, cold waters of Iceland’s Westfjord region. Wild cod is caught and brought to the cannery in Isafjordur. While the filets of the fish are prepared to be sold fresh, the livers are preserved through canning. The liver is cut into small pieces, seasoned with salt, and in the canning process its rich oil is expelled and fills the can. This rich, buttery delicacy is full of Omega-3s and both Vitamins A and D. Spread it on toast with sea salt, lemon, and herbs.

Armatore Swordfish Fillets in Olive Oil

This is a true Mediterranean delicacy: premium-quality swordfish fillets are delicately cooked and preserved in high-quality olive oil to enhance their natural flavor and firm texture. Armatore is based in Cetara, Italy, an ancient fishing village nestled between the waves and rocks of the Amalfi Coast, where fishing is more than a trade: it is an art, a culture, and a legacy passed down from generation to generation.

Ekone Smoked Oysters

This tin contains Pacific oysters that are grown on Ekone's farms in Willapa Bay (located on the coast of Washington state). They are grown using the long-line method to promote the highest quality oyster, and ensure they are always free of sand and grit. They are harvested fresh then brought to the Ekone cannery in Bay Center, WA, where the oysters are steamed and opened, then brined in small batches. The brined oysters are then placed meticulously on stainless steel racks and smoked using maple chips. The result are succulent oysters with a lovely smoky flavor.
