Tinned fish is basically a cheat coat for a whole series of richly savory, umami-packed dinners.

Tinned fish is shelf stable and packed with flavor, so it makes a fantastic base for so many meals, like a pasta you’re throwing together on a weeknight or a satisfying steak dinner you’re serving on a special occasion for friends. Whether you’re working with utilitarian tuna, a beautiful can of sardines that a friend brought back from Spain, or some classic tinned anchovies, we’ve got a recipe that will highlight all of your tinned fish’s beautiful savory depth and luscious fish flavor. Make our perfected tuna melt, a simple but elegant shelf-stable salad, or some gorgeous southern Italian pasta dishes.
