Each year, SELF magazine – one of the most respected wellness and lifestyle publications in the U.S. – presents the Pantry Awards to celebrate the best-tasting, nutrition-forward pantry staples on the market. Editors and food experts rigorously test a wide range of products, with an eye on flavor, nutritional value, quality, and even packaging design. And when our fish ended up on top? Let’s just say we were swimming in pride.

Best Canned Tuna – Albacore Tuna in Olive Oil

So, what made our tuna stand out? According to the SELF team, it was the clean, rich flavor – simple, no off-notes, and packed in high-quality olive oil. One tester was hesitant at first but ended up convinced: “I LOVED this tuna! So much flavor and no fishy taste.”

This tuna is MSC-certified, responsibly caught, and tasty enough to eat straight out of the can, though we won’t stop you from dressing it up. Need some inspiration? Check out some delicious recipes here. You can also learn more about the fishery behind our Albacore tuna here.

Best Sardines – Sardines in Spicy Tomato Sauce

Our sardines made a splash too, especially thanks to the bold, spicy tomato sauce and their firm texture. SELF described the flavor as bright – perfect as a fancy snack or as an addition to your favorite pasta. One tester said: “The tomato sauce tasted fresh – like authentic tomato paste with an earthy, robust flavor.”

Even our packaging got called out as some of the cutest out there. Needless to say, this feels like a win on all fronts.

Like our Albacore tuna, these sardines are MSC-certified and sourced responsibly with care. Eat them as is or add them to some of your favorite dishes to boost their flavor. Looking for ideas? Dive into these tasty recipes. Curious where the sardines come from? Read more about the fishery here.
