Bunnytown 💜⁷Tinned Fish Diary ~ Summer 2024 Edition!
My kids brought me a beautiful gift from Porto! This calls for a fresh thread. 😄
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!

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 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 😋

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

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.
The flavored oil in most of these tins is so yummy. I've been using it in salad dressings. 😄
Kern@bunnytown you can put a wick in there and make a fishy candle 😌
