Gulf of Maine Conservas Wild Bluefin Tuna
Widely considered the “king of fish,” bluefin tuna is such a delicacy it’s typically reserved for sushi and sashimi—until now. Sustainably line-caught one fish at a time on the Gulf of Maine, this canned wild bluefin tuna is far from your everyday grocery store brand. Darker in color and hand-packed in large, flaky pieces with extra virgin olive oil, this delicate tuna is rich, meaty and buttery. Moist and full of savory, natural flavor that isn’t overly fishy or dry like other brands, Gulf of Maine Conserva’s canned tuna is so good, it doesn’t need any sauces or ingredients. Add it to toasts, crackers, salads and pastas plain, or dress it up with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice, herbs, alliums and something briny. Or, add it to any of your favorite classic tuna dishes.
CS Fishery Oregon Albacore Tuna
While we love boutique cans and jars of tuna imported from Italy, Spain and Portugal, their prohibitive pricing makes them feel like a real splurge. This Pacific albacore tuna is caught and canned often within the span of a day, so its freshness rivals the European quality but at a much lower price point. Unlike supermarket tuna, which can be mealy or soggy, CS Fishery's product is wonderfully dense and flaky—you can tell this is tuna meat. The fresh, mild and meaty fish is packed in olive oil and seasoned with Jacobsen sea salt, made from the same waters from which the fish are caught. This is premium American tuna—with a clear supply chain—at a reasonable price.
Tenorio Tuna Fillet in Olive Oil
Line caught around the Azores, a carefully managed group of Portuguese islands in the North Atlantic, Tenorio’s Tuna Fillets in Olive Oil are nothing like the canned tuna you’re used to. Tender and moist, this tuna is cut into large pieces before being packed in buttery extra virgin olive oil. Lightly salted with a briny, clean fish flavor, each tender cut is just as good on its own as it is added to a salad or sandwich. Established in 1880, Tenorio sustainably fishes all of their skipjack tuna and is committed to maintaining a healthy ocean wildlife population.
Milk Street Digital Class: Tinned Fish for All Occasions with Anna Hezel
“Which aisle of the grocery store can transport you to the cerulean coves of the Costa Brava, the rocky shores of Brittany, or the salmon smokehouses overlooking Alaska’s Bristol Bay? Only the canned fish aisle, where you’ll find tins full of salty treasures from around the world, miraculously preserved and ready for you to enjoy.” So begins Anna Hezel’s new book, “Tin to Table,” a love song to anchovies, sardines, tuna, oysters, scallops, eel and more—all of which you can enjoy straight from a tin. Join Anna at this pre-recorded livestream class to learn why your pantry should perpetually stock an assortment of tinned fish. We start with the basics, like choosing great brands and decoding confusing labels. Then, we put some of Anna’s favorite tinned fishes to use. First is a classic Caesar salad, which just isn’t complete without anchovies. Hers uses anchovies two ways—in the dressing and tossed with toasted challah breadcrumbs—in order to lean into their umami-forward complexity. Then, you’ll see how sardines transform a simple pasta dish, a riff on Sicilian pasta con le sarde. Combined with sweet yellow raisins, bright fennel and grassy white wine, the sardines make this meat-free pasta dish feel robust and filling. Whether you’re already a tinned fish enthusiast or need some guidance as you start your collection, this class is for you.
