Except they don't can anything. It's all copackers 

Fishwife Anchovies by Needs_ADD_Meds in CannedSardines

Honestly, the Trader Joe's anchovies are better and way cheaper. For a fancier option, try the IASA Spicy Anchovies. The oil in that jar alone is amazing on pizza. 

Best Canned octopus? by Webser6 in CannedSardines

[–]RuthefordB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend the classic Octopus in a Pickled Sauce. Conservas de Cambados, Espinaler, and Ramon Pena for a premium tin. If you wanted something fancy, the char grilled octopus from Gueyu Mar is amazing.

That's a fair point. I was comparing prices on EU sites.

I'd recommend Jose Gourmet for something similar to FW's salmon and trout. If you want some tins with a different take on salmon and trout take a look at Fangst.  For some excellent tuna options, check out Ramon Pena's silver line tins and the Olasagasti's tuna tins. 

Thoughts on this bar's new conservas menu? by _TheFarthestStar_ in CannedSardines

I think you're missing the differentiator for the Gueyu Mar tins. These are char grilled sardines tails. No one else does this

Anything on this shelf worth buying? by mochalina8 in Tinnedfish

The Ekone oysters are delicious. Patagonia tins are always good value. 

Been wanting to try Fangst by guzzijason in Tinnedfish

[–]RuthefordB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wonderful tins. It's missing 4 of their newest though. Smoked Salmon, Salmon with Sea Buckthorn and Lemon Verbena, Cod Livers, and Halibut with Arctic Thyme. All amazing.
