Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this S-ARC.

If you think of tuna casserole or sandwiches when you hear the words tinned fish, then this book is for you. I am familiar with the Fishwife brand and have enjoyed their products but never dived into incorporating tinned fish into cohesive dishes. This book has a lot of recipes, and I really enjoyed the single-page features of various parings for their tinned fish options. I am looking forward to trying the avocado and radish toast recipes this weekend. Most of these recipes are very simple and would be easy to create for cooks of any skill level. I liked the illustrations and how they stayed true to Fishwife’s branding style. The way they chose to sort the chapters was very cute as well. My only critique for this book is that the photography could be improved on. Many of the photos lacked the depth and contrast that make you want to dive into the plates of food. Overall though, this book is effective in helping people realize that tinned fish has many uses and varieties, from salmon to octopus. 

I will be posting my Goodreads review closer to the publishing date.

I LOVE Fishwife tinned fish products, so I was so excited to get a chance to review the cookbook! I really like the way the book is organized. The recipes are so yummy – simple, quick eats and also more special meals for company, parties, and picnics. The book itself is so quirky and cute – just like the tins of fish. I love the illustrations – so fun. The infographics are also a really great touch and super helpful – they really make this book a standout. This will be such a great addition to anyone’s shelf and also would make a really fun gift to give with some tins of fish and other provisions.

I received an e-copy of this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

This cookbook is incredibly niche and weird, and the illustrations give me Strega Nona vibes, whom I would give my life for. So clearly I'm a fan. Do I buy tinned fish? Rarely. Have I heard of Fishwife? I don't think so. But I'm hooked 🤣

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. This is a great cookbook. My boyfriend and I made several thing out of it this week and loved them all.

Both the illustrations and the photos in this book are phenomenal. I cannot wait to try some of the recipes. I especially enjoy the variety of vegetables used in this book. I will be purchasing this as a gift for a family member who loves tinned fish.
