Wild-caught in the cold waters of Alaska, this pink salmon is a particularly versatile addition to the pantry. The generous flakes have a firm yet delicate texture, with a clean, naturally rich flavour that is complemented beautifully by the Spanish extra virgin olive oil. MSC certified and carefully packed to preserve the natural character of the fish, it's an excellent option for everything from a quick lunch to a more substantial meal.

Serving suggestions

• Flake through warm pasta with lemon zest, capers, parsley and a little of the olive oil from the tin.

• Serve over toasted sourdough with smashed avocado, fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon.

• Add to a Niçoise-style salad with potatoes, green beans, olives and soft-boiled eggs.

• Combine with crème fraîche, dill and lemon for an easy salmon pâté or canapé topping.

The Stock Merchant Provisions

Producer profile

In 2022, The Stock Merchant introduced its premium tinned seafood range, working with established European canneries to bring sustainably sourced fish to Australian consumers. The range combines traditional Portuguese and Italian preserving techniques with an emphasis on responsible fishing, traceability and quality ingredients. Much of the seafood is MSC certified, with fish hand-filleted and packed by experienced canneries. The range also includes wild Alaskan salmon and ocean-cultivated Pacific oysters from South Korea.

A particular feature of the range is the use of certified organic extra virgin olive oil in many of its tins, rather than conventional vegetable oils. There is also a selection of seafood preserved in pure water, offering a more straightforward alternative for those who prefer to add their own oils, dressings and seasonings.

The Stock Merchant's philosophy is centred on good food, honest ingredients and making quality pantry staples accessible for everyday eating. It's a range that brings together convenience, sustainability and a genuine appreciation for seafood.
