The Tinned Fish Alton Brown Keeps Stocked At All Times - Tasting Table
Briefly

Tinned fish has experienced a resurgence and prominent chefs champion its culinary uses. Anchovies function as both a salt bomb and an umami bomb, enhancing many recipes even in small amounts. Fishwife, a female-founded brand with eco-friendly sourcing and strong nutrition, offers Cantabrian anchovies packed in extra virgin olive oil. These filets deliver briny, wine-like notes and earthy olive oil balance, and they are ready-to-use without rinsing. Salt-packed anchovies can contain bones and often need rinsing to avoid excessive saltiness. Oil-packed anchovies are versatile across applications despite not serving as main-course canned fish.
His favorite tinned anchovy brand is Fishwife, a new female-founded tinned fish company with laudable eco-friendly sourcing and high-quality nutrition. The company gained notoriety after appearing on Shark Tank, and has since become one of our favorite canned fish brands. We tasted and ranked every Fishwife tinned seafood flavor, agreeing with Alton Brown's endorsement of Fishwife's Cantabrian anchovies in extra virgin olive oil.
These plump, juicy filets had briny wine-like notes, while the olive oil tempers the salt with earthiness. These anchovies are ready to use right out of the can, unlike some salt-packed varieties that contain bones and need a good rinse to taste anything but salt. While these tiny filets may not be main-course material like canned salmon or trout, you'd be surprised at how many uses you can get out of a single can of oil-packed anchovies.
