00:00Let me introduce you to tinned fish. It's sustainable, it's budget-friendly, and it's just fun to eat.
00:06Here are some of my favorite finds. Tuna rules the canned fish aisle, so instead of getting a water
00:10packed, get a fun, spicy, oil-packed one. Sardines are typically seen in conserva's culture in Spain
00:17and Portugal, served on top of bread with cheese as a tapa. Who wants to break down lobster? Don't
00:23worry about that shenanigans and just buy it in the tin. It's typically cheaper than if you were
00:27to buy the whole thing and break it down yourself. Anchovies, the classic, often seen on pizza and
00:32also used as the base of the sauce. Bacala or salted codfish, great in stews or tomato-based sauces,
00:39and it's found a lot along the Mediterranean, especially in Italy. What's fun about tinned
00:45razor clams is that it's hard to find them fresh, so tinned would be your best alternative. Fresh
00:50octopus is a lot of effort, so buy it in the tin and put it in a salad. Rainbow trout, very common
00:55fish in the States, really oily and rich, great for dips, and great in sandwiches. You don't
01:01want to worry about breaking down to bearding and picking through mussels. Buy them in the
01:05can and plop them in a gumbo or a stew. Really good, especially slow. If the packaging doesn't
01:12convince you to try tin fish, then I don't know what will.
