The Fishwife Cookbook

Take your tinned fish game to the next level with 80 recipes for meals for one, picnics in the park, sunny breakfasts, and more, from the trailblazing brand, Fishwife Tinned Seafood Co.

Grab your baguette, butter, Castelvetrano olives, flaky salt, and a little glass of chilled wine—it’s tinned fish time! According to Becca Millstein, co-founder of Fishwife, tinned fish is making waves for a thousand reasons: It eliminates the entire process of cooking a fish. It can sit in your cupboard for years and still be at its best on its fifth birthday. It’s a versatile, protein-packed, convenient ingredient. And, lastly, a tremendous amount of love and labor goes into each individual tin of fish, which Fishwife sources responsibly from traditional purveyors and fisherfolk, all wild-caught or ethically farmed.

While you might not be able to resist just snacking on Fishwife’s delightfully packaged and decidedly delicious offerings (like the smoked trout, Sichuan-chili-spiked salmon, or Cantabrian anchovies) straight out of the can, with The Fishwife Cookbook you can take your tinned fish to the next level, effortlessly transforming it into a mouthwatering meal or satisfying snack.

You’ll find chapters that span a range of occasions, like Just a Quickie, A Meal for One, Picnic in the Park, Dinner Is Served, Hosting a Cocktail Party, and Sunday Morning, featuring 80 powerfully flavorful and easy-to-put-together recipes, like:

• Tinned Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs
• Smoked Mackerel Udon
• Sardine Fritto Misto with Charred Lemon and Aioli
• Fisherman’s Stew with Salmon, Mussels, and Cockles
• Rainbow Trout Tacos with Peach and Tomato Salsa
• Lamb Bolognese with Cantabrian Anchovies
• and many more

Throughout, deep dives—like The Great Tinned Fish Beverage Companion Guide and How to Pack a Perfect Picnic—show you that the world of tinned fish is your oyster.

With beautiful photographs and the charming and whimsical illustrations in the brand’s signature style throughout, The Fishwife Cookbook is an invitation to make a splash! The water’s fine, the fish are jumping, and the food is a revelation.
