What You Should Know

You'd spot this compact tin in the canned seafood aisle or on a specialty shelf, ready to be grabbed for a picnic, packed lunch, or quick pantry meal. It feels a bit adventurous and slightly indulgent — briny, spicy, and artisanal, like a gourmet shortcut. The short ingredient list and tinning process point to a preserved, processed product with a firm, flaky texture and shelf-stability, but without the emulsifiers or industrial additives that characterize ultra‑processed foods.
