Classic Series: Fins in Tins—A Tinned Fish Odyssey, $75

Unlock the culinary potential of an often-overlooked delicacy with our exclusive tasting class, "Canned Delights: An Epicurean Journey Through Tinned Fish."

This immersive experience invites you to explore the rich and diverse flavors of high-quality tinned fish from around the world. Whether you’re a curious foodie or a seasoned connoisseur, this class offers a unique opportunity to elevate your palate and discover the art of enjoying gourmet canned seafood.

You'll embark on a sensory adventure with a carefully curated selection of premium tinned fish such as:

• Spanish Ortiz Anchovies: Renowned for their rich, umami-packed flavor and delicate texture, perfect for pairing with crusty bread or crackers.
• Portuguese Pinhais Sardines: Hand-packed in olive oil with a subtle smokiness, these sardines offer a deliciously complex taste experience.
• French La Belle-Iloise Tuna: This premium tuna is packed in a light, fragrant olive oil, offering a melt-in-your-mouth texture and exquisite flavor.
• Italian Calvisius Caviar: Though not fish, this tinned caviar adds a luxurious touch to the tasting with its briny, buttery notes.

Our knowledgeable instructors will guide you through each tasting, explaining the unique characteristics of the fish, their sourcing, and the artisanal techniques used in their preparation. Learn how to properly appreciate the flavors and textures, and discover how these tinned delights can be used in various culinary creations, along with artisanal breads, gourmet cheeses, and fresh herbs.
