Build Your Own Tinned Fish Box: How to Curate the Perfect Tinned Fish Selection

Build Your Own Box: How to Curate the Perfect Tinned Fish Selection

A guide to creating a personalised gourmet tinned fish experience with Just in Brine

Step 1: Choose Your Base

Think about what you love most in seafood. Whether it’s the smoky richness of mackerel or the delicacy of trout, start with a base flavour that excites your palate.

Step 2: Select Your Variety

Explore the diversity in flavours and textures. Try mixing oily fish like sardines for richness and salmon for subtle flavours. Or, opt for complementary profiles, like spicy sardines paired with mild tuna.

Step 3: Consider Your Health Goals

Looking for high-protein options? Choose omega-3-rich varieties like mackerel and salmon. If you’re focused on low-carb or high-energy options, stick with protein-dense sardines and tuna.

Step 4: Add Specialty Flavours

Just in Brine offers unique varieties—like tinned fish in olive oil, spicy sauce, or with Mediterranean herbs. Adding a tin with a unique twist can elevate your meals and broaden your taste experience.

Step 5: Enjoy the Convenience

Each tin in your custom box is ready to go, whether for quick meals, recipes, or even gourmet entertaining. Build your box, and let every tin be an adventure in taste.

Tips for Crafting Your Ultimate Box

  • Mix and Match: Create a balance of rich and light flavours.
  • Plan for Meals: Think about how each tin can fit into your weekly menu—from salads to pasta dishes.
  • Be Adventurous: Don’t be afraid to try something new, like spicy varieties or unique marinades.
