These are among my favorites of all time so far.

Unbelievably tender and flavorful
The sauce
The packaging
So perfect

A gift from my daughter

This one is so fancy!
Sardines in olive oil with tiny flecks of gold leaf 🤯
So good simply on crunchy lettuce 🐟🥬

The flavored oil in most of these tins is so yummy. I've been using it in salad dressings. 😄

Here's a plant-based one, Celery Root Whitefish!

It has an interesting celery and seaweed flavor, slightly smoked. Firm texture, kind of like a pickle. Underneath the "fish" was a layer of kombu.

How did this amazing objet find its way into my timeline? 🤔😄

The tiny jar of sardine pâté with lemon...
Why is it so small?! 😢 1.5 inch diameter
Delicious. A pretty pronounced fish flavor (with enough lemon for me and I love lemon!) and a cloud-like texture 😋

Check out these antique sardine dishes! The porcelain box shape is the perfect fit for a tin. Apparently tinned fish were served straight from the tins, set inside these dishes.
I happened upon them today.
They are very old.

The illustration on this tin! I love the yellow streetcar.

These lightly-smoked sardines had the best smokiness of any I've ever tasted. They were spicy in the best way. And the texture was so perfect!
