Fishwife x Fly By Jing — The Collaboration That Broke the Internet
Wild Alaskan Smoked Salmon • Fly By Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp • BPA-Free Collectible Tin • Gluten Free
Two female-founded brands. One iconic tin. The most talked-about tinned fish collaboration of 2024 — and for good reason. Fishwife’s best-selling wild Alaskan smoked salmon, brined in garlic salt and brown sugar, hand-packed with Fly By Jing’s legendary Sichuan Chili Crisp. The result is smoky, spicy, tingly, and impossible to put down.
This is the tin that introduced an entire generation to the idea that tinned fish could be genuinely exciting. It’s the centerpiece of every Seacuterie board it appears on. It’s the gift that food people actually want.

I loved this cheese! To the point that I never liked any cheese at all (41 years) of hating all cheese. But once I tried it it opened my world to cheeses again.
First of all, beautiful packaging, beautiful pre-presenting the whole stock and the fluffy little flower very nice.
TASTE = exquisite. Perfect subtle hint of mentor oregano perhaps..? 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
