Day 2 | 12 Days of Christmas | Fish Feast

If you haven’t heard, tinned fish is a real catch these days. And, we aren’t talking about your cat food looking, tuna casserole staple of yesteryear, either. Tinned fish has evolved into the sustainable, shelf-stable, seafood option that is the go-to of gourmets, foodies, and James Beard Award-winning chefs alike. Tinned fish is packed full of flavor and nutrition, has a long shelf life, and is handy to have around when you need to add a protein punch to salads, appetizer spreads, and pasta dishes. Tinned fish goes swimmingly with charred escarole, roasted fingerling potatoes, marinated fennel, or all three. Try some simply on toast or a hunk of Screamin’ Banshee bread. Or, grab a fork, pop open a can, and net yourself a scrumptious snack. 

bayleaf has an incredible selection of tinned (and jarred) fish and other sea-fare, from the sashimi grade Island Trollers tuna to a killer Caesar salad upgrade – premium Ortiz olive oil packed anchovies. To simplify your selection though, we have scaled it back a bit. We know you will be hooked on this trio of house favorites – stocked in a bayleaf wine bag: Ritrovo Selections Tuna Chunks with Potatoes and Rosemary in Olive Oil (perfect for a quick niçoise style salad or tossed with white beans for a heart-healthy and satisfying main course), hand-packed Alaskan smoked salmon (the quintessential brunch bagel addon), and Olasagasti anchovy/sardine pâté (for a terrific tapas topper or a fine umami fin-ish).

Olive oil has been part of Mediterranean life for thousands of years. It's more than a cooking fat—it's culture, health, and history in a bottle. As Americans we've been a bit slow to catch on...
