Fangst Brisling No.2 Baltic Sea Sprat

Available from Scandinavian Specialties when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Flaky and firm, with a touch of smoke, these sardines are a classic tin done beautifully right. The small, golden fish (which taste a bit like baby sardines) are harvested from the cold, Baltic waters off Latvia before they are smoked and married with organic cold-pressed rapeseed oil from Norway. The resulting experience is perfectly balanced and made for bagel sandwiches with cream cheese and chives, or piling high on latkes with creme fraiche. INGREDIENTS: Smoked Sardines, Cold-Pressed Rapese
