The Tinned Fish Market

“SUSTAINABLY SOURCED TINNED FISH, TRADITIONALLY PRESERVED”

In summer 2018, Patrick Martinez headed to Portugal, on the lookout for canneries – ones with sustainability, quality and style at their hearts. He met with some of the people at the famed conserveries outside Porto and together they chose the tins that best met what he was looking for – bright sardines sourced from morning markets and tinned the same day; pole-and-line caught tuna, marinated in the best olive oils and sauces; fish tinned used traditional, hands-on techniques. After that it was back to the UK to start The Tinned Fish Market. Three years later, and his business is working with canneries across Portugal, Spain and France, stocking around 150 different tins.
