{"title":"Tinned Sardines","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat Are Tinned Sardines?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTinned sardines are small, oily fish - usually Sardina pilchardus - that are cleaned, and then may be cooked or cured prior to canning, or alternatively cooked after being sealed. When placed in the tin (cooked or raw), canneries will add things like oil (from neutral vegetable oils through to organic extra virgin olive oils), sauces such as tomato or ragout, or escabeche\/pickled sauce, and then sealed for long-term storage. Unlike mass-market canned fish, many of the tins in this collection are what's known as conservas: hand-packed in small batches by traditional canneries in Portugal and Spain, often using recipes and processes that haven't changed in decades. Those which don’t hold the conservas name are our British tinned fish brands, although these are still caught locally, and packed and processed in small batches. The result is worlds away from a supermarket tin - firmer fish, better oil and sauces, and a lot more flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTinned sardines have become a kitchen cupboard staple in the UK over the last few years, as they’re sustainable, affordable, high in protein and omega-3, and can be eaten with zero prep. They can be enjoyed on a slice of buttered sourdough, as part of a tinned fish board (girl dinner, anyone?), or thrown into a pasta or salad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShop Tinned Sardines by Flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSardines in Olive Oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA classic.
