This is about Sea Sisters
These sardines keep it simple: good fish, gentle smoke and excellent olive oil. Just a touch of Sea Salt to finish.
Slowly smoked over hardwood, they develop a delicate smoky character which intensifies the natural richness of the fish into something deeply savoury. The organic extra virgin olive oil grabs onto that smoke and carries the flavours through the tin.
A natural fit for Mediterranean-inspired plates, creamy dips, salty cheeses, fresh herbs and hearty grain or bean salads.
Ingredients: Sardines (Sardina Pilchardus) (76%), organic olive oil (23%), salt.

Sardines have always been a natural match for tomatoes, and these make a convincing case for adding slow-cooked peppers to the mix.
The peperonata brings its signature sweetness, with softened onions, garlic and oregano balanced by just enough vinegar to keep things lively. Despite the smoked peppers, there’s no heat here - just a rounded, savoury sauce that works well with the sardines’ richness.
The fish are substantial (5–7 per tin), tender and full of flavour, with a touch of olive oil that carries the sauce through the tin without taking over.
Try them Mediterranean-style with herby salads, grilled vegetables and robust breads.
Ingredients: Sardines (Sardina Pilchardus) (75%), olive oil (19.2%), peperonata (smoked, roasted peppers, tomato, vinegar, onion, oregano, garlic) (4.2%), salt.

Sardines in Azores Butter
A good tin of sardines in butter feels pretty close to supper. The oils from the fish move through the tin and into the dairy, giving everything the same savoury depth. José Gourmet packs these in butter from the Azores and leaves it at that.
The fish is plump and substantial, with a full sardine flavour running through the dairy richness underneath. Everything lands softer and slower on the palate than you expect from sardines, though the character of the fish stays clear from start to finish.
Warm the sealed tin in freshly boiled water for a few minutes before opening and spoon everything onto soft bread, or open it cold and scoop the contents onto hot toast if you like a cold buttery bite. Have a lemon on hand.
Ingredients: Sardines (Sardina pilchardus) (66.6%), butter (pasteurised cream (milk) and salt.

Oregano is an inspired mediterranean addition - clear and slightly bitter, keeping the richness in line. Garlic and sweet paprika finish the tin nicely.
Serve on warm bread so it softens and spreads easily, or add to hot pasta with a spoonful of pasta water - not too much - and let it loosen into the dish.

Paté de Mexillóns
From the nutrient rich waters of the Rías Baixas estuaries, these mussels are steamed just enough to coax out their briny sweetness, then blended with sunflower oil, garlic, bay leaf, and a whisper of spice into a smooth, dense paté that holds its shape on the knife before softening as it warms. The flavour is direct: mussel first, saline and faintly sweet, followed by garlic that sits low and steady, with bay leaf bringing an earthy, herbal edge.
It eats rich but clean, with a finish that stays close to the sea, with enough texture to remind you where it comes from. Serve on blini with a few drops of lemon juice or scoop with raw vegetable sticks.
Ingredients: Mussels (Mollusc), sunflower oil, bay leaf, garlic, salt and spices.

Cornish Sardine Fillets in Extra Virgin Olive Oil
These sardines come from the cold, clear waters off Cornwall, caught by the crew of the Charlotte Clare out of Newlyn. They’re landed fresh, then filleted and packed in a light olive oil, so the texture stays tender and juicy, and the flavour is bright and well seasoned with a hint of sweetness that’s pure Cornish coast.
Skipper Tom Pascoe and his crew work with tides and seasons, using traditional methods that keep the stock healthy and the ecosystem intact. The sardines are small and mighty, with a clean, fresh taste that’s all about the quality.
Eat them straight from the tin with fresh bread, or let them warm slightly to soften the oil if that's your preference. It’s Cornish seafood as it should be - simple, honest, and fished with care.

The mackerel in this double sized tin comes from the waters around Terceira Island, where the Atlantic is deep, cold, and full of life. The fish are caught with pole-and-line, then cold smoked over Azorean Firetree wood - a local, endemic species sourced from forestry management discard. After smoking, the mackerel is packed in olive oil, which softens the smoke’s edge and keeps the flesh moist and flaky, with a rich, briny sweetness that lingers.
The process is slow and hands-on in a specially built Smokehouse. The smoking is done in small batches, the wood imparts a distinct flavour. The result is a beautiful fish, rich with distinct Azorean character.
Serve with a simple salad and a good loaf, with the ocean stretching out in front of you and the last of the day’s light catching the edges of the tin (or at least imagine that’s where you are).
Ingredients: Mackerel (scomber japonicus) (fish), Olive Oil and salt.
