Canned fish: old – new trend straight from TikTok!

Invented at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, canned fish was originally used as a food source for the navy and did not gain much fame as part of the daily diet. During the next decades, it became a well-known, but often underestimated dish.

However, nowadays this traditional snack is experiencing a rebirth, becoming one of the most fashionable snacks of the year! Large, shiny flakes of skipjack tuna or silvery sardines dipped in aromatic olive oil attract the attention of gourmets around the world.

But what brought canned fish back to the top of culinary fashion?

A new trend, thanks to TikTok
Current trends are usually created by Social Media, with TikTok leading the way. A pair of food lovers who spend their evenings on canned fish-themed dates have become an Internet hit. Every Friday, the couple records videos enjoying new varieties of canned fish, often smoked or enriched with colorful sprinkles and interesting aromas.

Another TikTok trend is the canning board. This is nothing more than a new variation of the popular cheese or cold cuts board, which uses canned fish instead. Modern flavors dominate the canning boards, such as mackerel with jalapeño, smoked crustaceans with habanero and lemon pepper, or octopus in olive oil. There are many possibilities to create such a board. All you need is a bit of imagination and an appetite for new flavors!

Comfort with added flavor
Canned fish offers an incomparable convenience. This is a perfect option for quick and tasty meals, which is extremely appreciated in today's busy world. Whether it's tuna, sardines or salmon, small convenient packages allow you to enjoy the taste anywhere. You can eat them straight from the can or use them as an original addition to delicious and healthy dishes!

A power of nutrition
Canned fish is also a healthy option. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals that support heart health, brain functioning and overall well-being. It's an excellent source of lean protein, making it an ideal choice for both fitness enthusiasts and those who follow a healthy diet.

Culinary versality
Another advantage of canned fish is its versatility. Nowadays, we are no longer limited to sandwiches. Canned fish can be a great addition to salads, pasta dishes, tacos and even sushi.

The canned fish market has undergone a real metamorphosis, and artisan brands offer unique flavors and the highest quality. From smoked mackerel to Portuguese sardines in olive oil, there is a wide selection of dishes to satisfy the most demanding customers. Even renowned chefs are increasingly using canned fish. Moreover, in Lisbon, London, New York and Barcelona you can find restaurants specializing in serving canned delicacies, offering canned fish and seafood from valued producers.

To sum up, it is worth discovering canned fish again. Their convenience and unique taste go hand in hand with a wealth of nutritional values. Thanks to them, we can discover new flavors and surprise with unusual dishes. This true renaissance of canned fish will certainly last many seasons of culinary fashion!
