Check out what Tinned Fish Club members received in November 2024!
BOM PETISCO- ATUM EM POSTA CARIL
Bom Petisco has over 50 years of history rooted in the Azorean islands. “Petisco” means “small snack” in Portuguese. Using skipjack tuna caught in the cold, pristine waters of the Azores, Bom Petisco is committed to sustainable practices that preserve the ocean and its ecosystem. Each tin is filled with quality and tradition, crafted by skilled hands and rich in natural flavor—no preservatives, just pure taste from the sea!
Curried Tuna with Basmati Rice & Mango Chutney
Cook 1 cup basmati rice per package instructions. For chutney, combine ½ cup diced mango, ¼ cup finely diced red onion, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or lime juice), and 1 tbsp brown sugar in a small pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until mango softens and mixture thickens, about 8 minutes. Warm Bom Petisco Tuna Steaks in Curry in a small pan. To serve, plate the rice, top with curried tuna, and add a spoonful of chutney.
SARDINHA- EDIÇÃO ESPECIAL: ANO DO DRAGÃO
Sardinha is a celebrated Portuguese brand known for its artisanal packaging and sustainably sourced sardines, which are hand-selected, pre-steamed, and packed to preserve flavor. This special edition tin combines spicy pepper and olive oil, offering a bold, fiery taste. In the Chinese zodiac, the dragon is a symbol of good fortune and prosperity—wishes we extend to all our Tinned Fish Club members as they enjoy this special edition Year of the Dragon tin.
Spicy Sardine-Topped Rice Cakes
In a bowl, mix 1 cup cooked rice with 1 beaten egg, 1 tbsp flour, and a pinch of salt. Form into small patties. Melt ½ tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the patties until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. To serve, top each rice cake with Sardinha “Year of the Dragon” Sardines and drizzle with sriracha for extra heat.
OLD RIGA- ŠPROTES EĻļA
Old Riga is known for its smoked sprats, crafted from fresh, morning-caught Baltic Sea fish that are processed by day’s end. These sprats are naturally smoked with alder wood from Latvian forests, which enhances their rich, smoky flavor. As a leader in sustainable fishing, Old Riga holds MSC certification, reflecting its commitment to environmentally responsible practices. Today, they proudly share these sustainably sourced delicacies with seafood lovers worldwide.
Grenki with Sprats
Start by slicing a baguette and frying the slices in a hot pan with a bit of butter until golden and crispy. Mix a few cloves of minced garlic (measure garlic with your heart) with ½ cup mayo, then spread this garlicky mayo on each slice. Top with a couple of sprats and garnish with fresh dill or try the dill pickle salt. Smachnoho!
