There's something rather wonderful about opening a few really good tins, putting some olives on the table, pouring a glass of something cold and calling it supper.
No complicated recipes. No hours in the kitchen. And definitely no mountain of washing-up.
Tinned fish has earned its place back at the table, and we're completely here for it.
But what do you buy someone who's already discovered the joys of sardines in olive oil, Portuguese pâté and a good tin of seafood?
A whole little tinned fish supper, of course.
Our bestselling Wee Tinned Fish Supper Gift Box

What's inside the Wee Tinned Fish Supper?
La Narval Sardines in Olive Oil
Beautiful Galician sardines packed in olive oil. Perfect straight from the tin, piled onto good bread or served with a few punchy pickles.
Cantara Portuguese Tuna Pâté
A deliciously savoury pâté made with tuna, olive oil, tomato and spices. Spread generously onto crackers or toast for a very easy start to supper.
Pepus Diced Squid
Tender diced squid, ready to open and serve. A lovely addition to a relaxed seafood spread.
Perelló Olive & Pickle Cocktail Mix
Salty olives and punchy pickles. Exactly the sort of thing you want to nibble on while deciding which tin to open first.
Savoury Ship's Biscuits with Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Crisp, savoury biscuits made for scooping up tuna pâté, piling with sardines or enjoying alongside the olives.
Five things that belong together. And a good excuse to sit down and enjoy them.
Secret Santa gifts for tinned fish lovers
Not everyone needs a full gift box, and some of the nicest food presents are the smallest.
If you're looking for a Secret Santa gift or something for a Christmas stocking, why not put together a little tinned fish treat?
A beautiful tin of Spanish sardines makes a brilliant gift for someone who appreciates good ingredients.
Or pair a Portuguese tuna pâté with savoury biscuits for a little ready-made aperitivo.
A jar of Perelló olives and pickles is another lovely choice for the friend who always has something delicious to put on the table.
These are useful, interesting little gifts that won't end up forgotten in a cupboard.
How to create the perfect tinned fish supper
You really don't need a recipe.
Open the sardines and squid, spoon the tuna pâté into a little dish, tip the olives and pickles into a bowl and scatter the Ship's Biscuits onto a plate.
If you've got some good bread, add that too.
Then pour something cold, put your favourite music on and let everyone help themselves.
The Spanish and Portuguese have long understood the pleasure of good preserved seafood, and it's a way of eating we absolutely love.
Relaxed, generous and full of flavour.
Perfect for a Friday evening, an impromptu date night or those days when you want something delicious but can't face cooking.
Why tinned fish makes such a good gift
A really good tin of seafood is a little luxury that doesn't need saving for a special occasion.
It's easy to store, ready when you are and can turn a few simple ingredients into something rather lovely.
And unlike so many novelty gifts, it's something that will actually get used.
For the seasoned tinned fish enthusiast, it's an opportunity to discover new producers and flavours.
For someone just starting to explore the world of conservas, it's a delicious introduction.
And for anyone who loves entertaining, it's a reminder that putting good food on the table doesn't have to be complicated.
A thoughtful food gift for Christmas and beyond
Our Wee Tinned Fish Supper isn't just for Christmas.
It's a brilliant birthday gift, a housewarming present, a thank-you for a lovely weekend or a little surprise for someone who deserves a treat.
It also makes a rather good host gift. Instead of turning up with another bottle of wine, bring supper.
Everything is beautifully presented in a gift box, ready to give.
And because it's our bestselling gift box, we like to think we're not the only ones who appreciate a really good tinned fish supper.
