Cornish Pilchard Works
What do you call people who collect pilchard tins? No idea but they exist I assure you. Food packaging design is an important facet of eating - after all if the prodcut doesn’t entice the specific consumer you are targetign isn’t going to buy.
I mention pilcard tins as someone pointed out how lovely the packaging on these tins is the paintings are by Walter Langley a local to the Cornish Pilchard Works who produce the tins. The fish are all caught locally but packaged across the Channel in Brittany at the world’s oldest sardine cannery.
Caught in the clear waters of the Western approaches using traditional techniques, the fish are caught in prime conditon. To capture the traditional flavour, they have been filleted and flash fried before being canned, with selected virgin olive oil, using techniques perfected since 1853.
Quite a few stores stock the pilchards (Waitrose/Ocado for example) at £1.19 a tin. You can also order direct at £1.50 per tin.
