Albacore packed by hand in olive oil with a real chile kick, not an afterthought of red pepper flake dumped on top. Firm flake, not the mushy stuff that falls apart when you fork it out of the tin. Eat it straight off the fork with bread, fold it into a white bean salad, or break it over roasted vegetables for a fast plate. Three tins to a pack, so one lives in the walk-in and two stay in the dry storage for whenever the bar needs a snack menu item that isn’t fried. No cooking required, no skillet to clean.

What cooks are saying
  • 01Flake holds together instead of turning to paste
  • 02Heat is present but doesn't bury the fish
  • 03Works as a no-cook plate for family meal or a quick bar snack
Why the pros use it

Canned fish gets ordered by the case for family meal and quick service because it needs nothing from you. This one earns a spot because the oil is worth spooning over the plate instead of draining off, and the spice means you're not reaching for hot sauce to wake it up.
