While canned fruits and vegetables are a common sight in the pantries of regular shoppers the wide variety of canned meats often goes unused. This is a shame because canned meats offer all sorts of cost benefits while remaining a versatile way to get protein and flavor into a dish. Since the process of narrowing down which canned meats to stock in your shopping cart can be a little daunting here are a few great options to try.
The poster-piscis of TikTok’s viral canned fish trend sardines are an accessible addition to any canned tuna fan’s pantry. Once a tuna lover experiences the nuanced flavors and silky textures that sardines have to offer there’s honestly no going back.

However this is a bit of an underselling as their true culinary value only really comes to the fore when combined with complementary ingredients. To get the most bang for your buck when using sardines it’s best to stick to something resembling an afternoon snack rather than making them a main course. This could be as simple as scooping a tin of sardines into a bowl with some mayonnaise salt pepper and a squeeze of lemon or as complex as coating them in a spicy breadcrumb mix and frying them in oil.
