Collection: Healthy #TinnedFish

TinnedFish, prepared in either Cornish Spring Water, or Extra Virgin Olive Oil, can be the healthiest way, our cans have 100g of fish and 30g of ingredients, nothing else... 

The health difference comes down to the medium the fish is preserved in and how it interacts with nutrients and your body:

1. Cornish Spring Water 

  • No added fats or calories: Fish packed in water keeps it lean, making it lower in calories and saturated fat.

  • Preserves natural nutrients: The omega-3 fatty acids and protein remain intact without dilution by oils or heavy additives.

  • Less sodium (often): Water-packed fish can sometimes have less added salt than oil-packed versions.

  • Gentler processing: High-quality spring water may indicate careful sourcing and minimal processing, reducing exposure to contaminants.

2. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • Healthy fat boost: Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants like polyphenols, which are good for heart health.

  • Better absorption of fat-soluble nutrients: Vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as omega-3s in fish, are more easily absorbed when eaten with healthy fats like olive oil.

  • Anti-inflammatory effects: Olive oil compounds can complement the anti-inflammatory benefits of omega-3s in fish.

⚖️ Bottom line:

  • Water-packed fish is leaner and lower in calories, good if you’re watching weight or saturated fat.

  • Olive oil-packed fish adds healthy fats that help nutrient absorption and provide cardiovascular benefits.

Both are healthier than fish canned in cheaper oils (like soybean or sunflower) or brines with high salt, because those add less beneficial fats and more sodium.
