TINNED FISH MANIA: These canned goods aren't just for
survivalists--they're luxury imports, souvenirs, and collectibles. We've
reached an age, as Eater has pointed out, where Americans are willing
to spend $45 on a tiny tin of conservas (as they're often called in
Spain and Portugal) to snack on while they sip their wine. Bon Appétit
is suggesting them as all-purpose stocking stuffers. Tinned, canned,
jarred, preserved: these sea creatures are a pantry must-have. And Tin
to Table shows you how to use them all!
ONE-OF-A-KIND CANNED FISH COOKBOOK: Whether you are exploring a
pescatarian diet or simply broadening your cooking horizons, this unique
guide covers a wide variety of tinned seafood rather than focusing
solely on a single ingredient such as sardines or salmon. Full-color
photographs showcase mouthwatering dishes while playful illustrations
round out the fun foodie vibe throughout.
SUSTAINABLE COOKING IN A CAN: In an age of conscious consumerism, canned
seafood can offer transparency about sourcing, fishing methods,
sustainability, and mercury levels that can be difficult or impossible
to trace among the fresh seafood at the supermarket. As more and more
home cooks cut down on their meat consumption out of concern for the
environment, canned fish offers a happy alternative, packed full of
protein and omega-3s. Its convenience, nutritional value, and long shelf
life don't hurt either!
Perfect for:
- Home cooks, college students, picnickers, and seafood lovers
- A great host gift or self-purchase for those who enjoy entertaining
- An educational and practical resource for sustainable cooking
enthusiasts
- Pairing with a specialty tin of fish to create a memorable birthday,
holiday, or special occasion gift for foodies and cookbook collectors
