Sprats in tomato sauce

£4.95

Wild-caught Baltic sprats in a light, refreshing tomato sauce. The sprats or brisling have pristine silver skins and a tender texture. They are canned in Latvia by Diplomats, an artisanal cannery noted for the quality of its tinned sprats, a staple of Latvian cuisine.

Serving suggestion: chill the tin before opening and enjoy gazpacho-style, or in cooler weather warm the tin and add some toasted croutons seasoned with salt and pepper.

About the sprats: the sprats or brisling are wild-caught in the Baltic Sea and have a similar flavour and texture to sardines.

About the cannery: they are canned in Latvia by the artisans at Diplomats, a renowned tinned fish brand, with a history dating back to 1907. The fish is canned using 100% artisanal methods in its state of the art cannery in the seaside village of Engure, on the shore of the Gulf of Riga.
