Tinned seafood has always felt a little more cute than delicious for me. Some are good, like a can of sardines is a pretty satisfying snack. But when I went to Portugal, I wasn't very impressed with the other ones like mussels or shrimp which tasted overcooked.
I think it’s hit and miss and just because you like one type doesn’t mean you’ll like another. I love anchovies and disliked sardines for a long time until recently I had an amazing sardine experience and now I like (specific) sardines, as does my 9yo…. Try a lot, love a few
I've ordered from Dan a number of times. The service, recommendations, and packaging are remarkable. Each tin has a little tidbit about its strengths. Honestly, anyone who enjoys seafood should get a sample box.
