I’m obsessed with tinned fish. The amount of shuffling I did to accommodate all the tins in my luggage when I returned from Lisbon was soooo worth it.

When I spent a few months in Paris I couldn’t get enough of the tinned fish - there was an entire store dedicated just to tinned fish! Also, I like to use the tinned mussels to make pasta with a can of tomatoes, chopped garlic, red pepper flakes and parsley - basic, certainly, but good in a pinch!

We were in Lisbon in March and they are BIG on tinned fish. In fact they have a chain of stores, The Fantastic World of Portuguese Sardines, where you can get tinned tuna stamped with your birthday. For good luck I think? Anyway, you’d be in heaven! I wish I could attach the photo of my husband and me sitting in the thrones as the King and Queen of Sardines! You and Dom need to go if for nothing else than the photo op. 😘

I love that book!

I do have to say, tinned crab is a disappointment so far, but I'd love any suggestions.

Thank you, Ben. I have some tinned fish that I thought was to be used as a snack, alone, on saltine crackers. You have inspired me to make a delicious sandwich!
