The cleaner, Scandinavian answer to sardines, these brisling are exceptional and a great addition to any pantry. They’re sustainably caught, lightly salted and then packed in a pleasant neutral oil—yielding a balanced taste. We found the fish supremely firm and flavorful. A light blend of allspice and cloves offers a layer of aromatic complexity.
Brisling (a species of sea sprat, a small forage fish) is a small fish commonly found along the Scandinavian and Baltic coasts traditionally enjoyed tinned and known for their smooth flavor. Meaning “catch” in Danish, small producer Fangst aims to revive the lost seafood traditions of the region.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Snack on these as is, draped atop a cracker, or as part of a seafood tray with a few rings of pickled shallot on top. We love tossing a few into pasta dishes like our Fettuccine with Fennel, Smoked Trout and Crème Fraîche (just swap in for the trout) and into salads—especially with peppery arugula, creamy avocado and crunchy pumpkin seeds.
