Fishwife reviews and discussion

For all my tinned fish girlies - this is IT! Not only is the packaging the cutest, but the flavors are so so so yummy and the perfect topping on any crisp. The smoked salmon is definitely one of my favorites, especially paired with a pita chip, squeeze of lemon, side of mini pickles, a some hot sauce. This could easily be a yummy "girl dinner" or something to crack open with some friends over wine. Love this tinned brand!

Much hype. Finally tried Fishwife (the trout and the tuna) on a camping trip a few weeks back. Folks — it was good. It's simply high quality fish, well-preserved, in a (I have to hand it to them) delightful little package. Sure, it's pricey, and I won't buy it all the time. But for a camping treat, as a gift, or for a fancy snack situation — absolutely. The price seems justified by the quality and sustainability; good food is not always cheap. Hype is real.

Great flavor and branding, but not quite great enough to justify the steep price. I tried Fishwife's limited-edition Campfire Cod product as part of a ThingDrop. The flavor was fresh and smoky and the quality of the fish was evident -- plus the packaging was fun and inspired. But the price was beyond what I would reasonably consider paying for fish. With a retail price of $39 for three *small* tins (smaller than standard fish tins), I could not see myself buying this again without the discounted price I first received. Perhaps I'm vastly misunderstanding the true cost of ethically-sourced seafood, but $13 for a few bites of canned cod just doesn't seem worth it to me.

I was really excited to receive the campfire cod but kinda wished it was a variety pack because I would have loved to try the other tinned fish Fishwife offers. I had a little straight out of the tin but it was a hair too salty so I used the rest on a piece of toasted sourdough with some cream cheese and leftover salad. It was delicious! While I thought it was delicious this way, I think that eating it straight out of the tin wouldn't really be enjoyable. Maybe it's because cod doesn't lend itself to being tinned as well as say salmon, tuna, or sardines do...but the fish itself didn't have the best texture,

I recently tried the smoked cod collab with Graza and Diaspora and loved it. The packaging is obviously to die for and same goes for the branding in general. I love following Fish Wife and can't wait to see what they do next. Really excited to try their new little gems.

I was gifted a tin of the Fishwife Salmon infused with Sichuan Chili Crisp sauce as a part of an incredible haul in my Christmas stocking by my daughter. She knows I love Salmon and spicy foods in general and that I had already been a fan of "Fly by Jing" the folks who supply the pepper sauce for what appears to be a collaboration with Fishwife. I opened the tin for a brunch the day after Christmas and shared it with visiting family as an appetizer with rice crackers. Everyone loved it! It has the perfect blend of spicy without blowing away the Salmon flavor. I took the last little chunk of it with my Spinach Omelette and it was outstanding! I don't know what she paid for it but I can say that this is a great product and highly "giftable" in its unique and fanciful package design.

These took a bit to get to me.. but when they did show up the packaging was really great! The mailing box they came in had little fish, mermaids, umbrellas and other cute things on it. The product packaging was just as cute! I ordered the cod. The packaging says it is wild caught Alaska cod which if I am going to eat fish I prefer it to be wild and not farm raised. Bonus there! I decided that my husband and I would try it for a little snack with crackers. The can inside the product packaging is "naked" so if you wanted to get rid of the outer packaging you would have to write on the can so you know what is in it. When I opened the can it smelled like a campfire, which I loved! It didn't have that bad fishy smell to it which was a plus. My husband and I both tried it and we weren't really impressed. It wasn't horrible but for me it is not something that I am willing to spend the money on to order again.

the fishwife x fly by jing collab is everything. can't get enough.

my first little foray into tinned fish after seeing it all over my tiktok page was with fishwife and it really blew me away! really tasty, cute packaging, long-lasting, definitely worth the price. i LOVE the partnership with fly by jing and think that there's many opportunities for other cool collabs in the future.

I am OBSESSED with fishwife tinned fish. I recently ordered the smokey trio & ate all 3 cans in a week. my go to prep is grilling some sourdough and topping it with cream cheese or some sort of spread and then top with the fish. it’s incredible! I do think it’s kind of expensive - it’s a special occasion thing in my household but if you do have the cash I would stock up! I understand the pricing being high due to everything that goes into it and how high quality the fish is. The branding and everything is so on point - I LOVE fish wife! try asap.

I got their variety pack when they first came out to gift to my boyfriend for his birthday. He loved it and he’s a tin fish connoisseur (according to him). I tried the spicy tuna the other day and it was so good. I put it on a pita cracker with a bit of cottage cheese and unlocked my new favorite snack

I was shocked fish from a can could taste this good! It definitely beat my expectations. The price is a bit steep for an everyday purchase but it's great for special occasions

Love the packaging and their collaborations. Their holiday sets are a hit. If you’re just into tin fish, go to any aisle in an Asian market and you’ll find cheaper options.

10/10 for pretty packaging but I really couldn't tell the difference in quality of the product inside to justify the high price.

Delicious! Wild-caught smoked albacore tuna was so good and I can't wait to use the tuna with additional recipes. I really enjoyed and definitely will be re-ordering.

Full disclosure: I do not eat seafood. But I bought these for my boyfriend, and he says that they are the best tinned fish he's ever had.

Honestly, this is pretty good tinned fish. Love the fancy flavors. It's definitely more expensive than random tins you get in Portugal, but isn't the point kind of that it's different than that? A great special treat for yourself every so often when you want to turbo charge your sandwiches, salads or snack boards.

I had the mackerel and it was worth the hype!

All the Fishwife varieties I've tried have tasted lovely. The packaging is whimsical and funky, leading their tins to stand out amongst an otherwise dull tinned fish grocery store aisle. I think these would work great in a gift basket for any foodie.

High quality and SO PRETTY. The packaging is what sold me, but I mean it when I say the fish actually exceeded my expectations, too.
