The Stock Merchant MSC Spicy Sardines in Organic EVOO 120g

Small tin. Generous fillets. Just enough chilli to make your toast sit up and pay attention.

The Stock Merchant MSC Spicy Sardines in Organic EVOO 120g bring together wild-caught Atlantic sardines, certified organic extra virgin olive oil and organic chilli. Rich, savoury and pleasantly spicy, they deliver bold flavour without overwhelming the natural character of the fish.

MSC-certified sardines are sourced from a sustainable fishery and caught using small-scale purse-seine methods designed to minimise environmental impact and reduce bycatch. They are then hand-filleted and packed in Portugal using traditional preserving techniques.

The plump sardine fillets are covered in organic EVOO, adding fruity richness and a beautifully smooth finish. Meanwhile, organic chilli provides a satisfying kick. It is lively enough for chilli lovers, yet balanced enough to let the premium sardines remain the main event.

Naturally rich in protein and Omega-3 fatty acids, these spicy sardines make an excellent addition to a well-stocked pantry. They are ready to eat straight from the tin, although giving them a plate occasionally feels polite.

How to Serve Spicy Sardines

Keep lunch simple by piling the sardines onto toasted sourdough with avocado, lemon juice and fresh herbs.

For a quick dinner, toss them through hot spaghetti with garlic, capers, parsley and crunchy breadcrumbs. The chilli-infused organic olive oil also deserves a place in the pan—leaving it behind would be a culinary administrative error.

Professional chefs can use these premium spicy sardines for crostini, tapas plates, pasta, rice bowls and seafood appetisers. Food bloggers may prefer them arranged over toast with bright herbs and lemon, ideally before everyone else discovers the plate.

They are also delicious served with:

• Warm crusty bread
• Roasted capsicum and olives
• Tomato and white bean salad
• Soft-boiled eggs
• Steamed rice and pickled vegetables
• Crackers, cheese and antipasto
• Extra chilli oil for those who consider restraint optional
