Tinned fish has become one of my favorite cheap high-protein foods

I’ve been trying to find more cheap, high-protein foods lately, and tinned fish has honestly become one of my favorite options. It’s shelf stable, fast, relatively healthy, and usually cheaper than most other protein sources.

Some of the best value tins I keep coming back to are King Oscar sardines, Trader Joe’s tinned fish, and Goya. They work well with rice, bread, potatoes, pasta, and salads.

After trying a bunch of different tins, I started keeping track of which ones were actually worth rebuying because the quality varies a lot. I ended up building a small tinned fish review database/tasting log called Tinventory for it.

Curious if anyone else has favorite cheap tinned fish recommendations.
