Fishwife reviews and discussion

4.5

89% of reviewers would recommend to a friend

Reviews mention

  • Vibrant, giftable packaging design
  • Flavorful, smoky seafood selections
  • Ethical, sustainability-forward sourcing
  • Reliable, tender flaky textures
  • Small portions per tin
  • Occasional dry, chewy cod
  • Overly smoky, salty profiles
  • Unbranded, plain interior tins

Fishwife earns strong reviews for genuinely flavorful, high‑quality tinned seafood—standouts include Smoked Albacore Tuna, Smoked Rainbow Trout, and Fly By Jing Smoked Salmon—paired with dazzling, giftable packaging and a sustainability ethos. Reviews also flag meaningful drawbacks: small portions, frequent dryness or chewiness in cod and some salmon, a pervasive smoky profile that can overpower, unbranded “naked” tins, limited variety, and polarizing flavors; many find it best for special occasions rather than everyday use.

    The packaging is so awesome, it makes something as gross as sardines totally giftable! :D As you can probably tell, I didn't buy this product for myself. My husband is a lover or sardines, anchovies, etc. and I thought this would be a nice surprise that we could both enjoy (me for the vibe, him for the product). He really liked the quality of the fish PLUS our 2 year old can't stop eating it...which is shocking but also says something about how good this stuff is. I'm excited to try the trout (which I'll actually eat).

    I thought the whole experience was actually pretty seamless...

    Really delicious smoked fish. You can tell it is high quality the moment you open the can. Canned fish is currently my main source of animal protein, but it's always a bit of a struggle to know if what you are buying is trustworthy from an environmental standpoint. I appreciate that Fishwife's focus on ethics and sustainability. It also doesn't hurt that the branding is so spot on. Love the artwork on the packaging.

    Fish options are limited for now. Would love to see mackerel and a non-albacore tuna option. I tend to choose skipjack or yellowfin over albacore in order to minimize mercury intake.

    Incredible taste, amazing packaging/design, and inspired by the brand ethos to make fish cute + sustainably sourced.
