Canned foods have firmly entered our diet, canned fish is no exception. It is important to purchase quality products from trusted and reliable manufacturers, otherwise you can be disappointed in the purchase and harm your health. In the article, we will consider which canned fish are the best, which are the best manufacturers on the market, and also what to look for when buying.

Description

Canned fish is a ready-to-eat product in a sealed container that has been sterilized.

It would seem that it could be simpler than the question of how to choose a canned product, but even here there are a lot of “pitfalls” that must be taken into account so as not to be disappointed when consuming. The benefits and harms of such products depend on the quality of raw materials and storage conditions.

Any canned fish (saury, pink salmon, mackerel, smelt) must comply with GOST, of course, you can cook it yourself (home-made preparations are, of course, more natural and healthy), but it will take a lot of time and effort, and it’s not always possible to do it with your own hands. Classical home preservation is done in an autoclave. Each family has its own recipes and step-by-step instructions on how to cook and preserve food.

Canned food types:

• natural canned fish;
• with the addition of oil;
• in tomato juice;
• pâtés and pastes.

Of course, canned food is less useful than eating fresh fish, but in some cases you can’t do without them.

• rich in trace elements (the amount of nutrients is almost the same as in fresh fish);
• easier to digest than canned meat products;
• rich in Omega 3;
• stored for a long time.

• after opening, it cannot be stored in the same bank, it must be transferred to another container;
• sometimes made from frozen raw materials.

Criterias of choice

Consider the main recommendations and tips that you should follow in order to avoid mistakes when choosing.

1. Appearance. There should be no rust, smudges, and other damage on the jar, the lid should not be swollen. Information about the manufacturer, date and place of packaging must be clearly indicated. If the expiration date is not stamped on the bottom, but applied with paint, then in most cases this indicates a product falsification. This product is not worth buying.
2. Fill quantity. Before buying, shake the jar, if you feel that the product is rolling around the jar, then there is a lot of oil or brine, you should not buy such a product.
3. Compound. Ideally, when canned food consists only of fish, spices and salt. Some manufacturers may add various impurities, pay attention to this.
4. Seasonality. Freshly caught is much healthier and tastier when preserved than production from frozen raw materials. Try to buy canned food produced during the catch of fish.
5. What is the best type of product to buy. The choice depends on your personal preferences. Someone prefers exclusively fish in tomato juice, and someone is crazy about sprats in oil. It is worth considering what you are buying for, for example, for rice or fish soup you can buy saury, and for sandwiches - pollock liver or sprats.
   Which company is better. Much tastier are the products of those manufacturers who are located directly at the place of catch.
6. Price. Pay attention to how much products from different manufacturers cost. Inexpensive (budget) canned food is not always of high quality.
7. Where could I buy. You can buy these products in a regular grocery store or order online in an online store. The difference may be in price and in manufacturers.When ordering from an online store, carefully compare what was delivered to you with the photo on the site. If something does not suit you in the bank itself, or you were not brought what you ordered, feel free to refuse the order, poor-quality products can harm your health.
8. View inside the package. After the purchase, when opening, be sure to pay attention to the appearance of the jar and the fish. The jar inside should be free of rust, mold and other damage. Canned food should be light, without worms, whole pieces. Should not fall apart when you take them out of the can. If canned food falls apart, this may indicate poor-quality raw materials or that they have been frozen several times.

It is worth noting that Roskachestvo constantly checks manufacturers for compliance with quality standards, all domestic manufacturers are annually tested for their products:

• none of the brands found extra impurities and harmful substances;
• the ratio of fish and sauce (marinade) for all corresponds to the declared amount;
• some manufacturers still replace one type of fish in their canned food with another, they were indicated to this after checking (“KitBy”, Bucini, “The Sea Inside”). They took pink salmon and sold it under the guise of sockeye salmon, coho salmon, and chum salmon.
