Sardines

The sardine sits at the heart of the tinned fish tradition — and the finest examples are a world away from anything you grew up with. Great tinned sardines, packed on the day of catch by producers who have been doing this for generations, are among the most rewarding things you can keep in your kitchen cupboard.

Our collection draws from some of the oldest and most respected canneries in Portugal — Sardinha, Berthe and Minerva, each bringing a distinct character to the same fish — alongside Rockfish's Mount's Bay sardines, caught and tinned in Cornwall. The best of Iberian conservas tradition and the best of British, on one shelf.

In olive oil, smoked, spiced, with lemon, skinless and boneless — if you're building a serious tinned fish collection, this is where to start.
