Anyone a fan of tinned fish?

  • BushMoot: Come along to the amazing Summer Moot 31st July - 5th August (extended Moot : 27th July - 8th August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I forgot to mention two other tinned fish based treats!

A pint of cold beer with a tin of Ortiz anchovies as a beer snack.

And the other one is ludicrously priced (£15+ a tin! Oof) so I have only had it once before and have another to save for a special occasion.

£15 is on the steeper side. The chap i watch on youtube has had several tins of line caught Tuna in Cornish butter... The Cornish Canning Company i believe its called and that stuff is £20+ a tin. I'd love to try it, but i'm not that rich!!

So who is tempted by canned oysters? canned mussels ? canned razor clams?

Are we missing a trick ? or just missing a potential increased likelihood of food poisoning?


I'm kinda tempted - but in the ' I would need some dutch courage ' kinda way.

I actually purchased some tinned mussels to try today! Maybe give them a go later in the week.

I do like shellfish, but I’m not super hopeful about eating out of a tin.

Although I have enjoyed tinned octopus and squid before, I don’t treat those as shellfish.

Got some Mussels from that tinned fish market. Limfjord blue mussels, smoked over beechwood. Only tin i have left of the 3. The monkfish and cod liver were both really nice. To hell with it. Give me 10 mins, and we shall decant the tin....(tinned fish reviews catchphrase lol)

Not bad at all. Not used to eating cold mussels that arent pickled... i do prefer them hot. But they were ok. Far better with a good dash of Tabasco. Nice and soft and smoky, but certainly on the fishier side taste wise. (Hence the Tabasco)

Lidl used to do herring in a mustard sauce. I haven’t seen them in a while now, but then I did stop looking. They were delicious!
The way Lidl's appears to work, or at least does in my own neck of the woods is it doesn't appear to restock what's out when there are other options available, in that it seems the less popular stuff has to be sold first before they will restock. Am experiencing somewhat of this phenomena with Mulligatawny soup that was one of my goto's for a while and also some varieties of beans I prefer more than others. Seems none like chick peas though, they have loads of them

Go on has any tried the Swedish way of doing fish, el stinky the tinned fermented herring, or sild of which I do know is available in the UK. Got a liking for Sil in Sweden, great washed down with a finger or two of schnapps
That herring is grim! You could clear a battlefield with one tin.
There’s not enough vodka in the world to wash that down.
Tinned sardines, on the other hand, just smashed into thick crusts of coarse wholemeal bread and then baked in the oven for 10-15 minutes very hot. Lots of fresh black pepper and a bottle of Falanghina.
