The best mass-market canned kippers and trout readily available, normally retailing for around $4-5.00/tin, are Trader Joe's private label for $1.99/tin.

thanks for the tip. My sardine intake increased quite a bit thanks to the other thread.

Terrible paint job in that second pic.

It was the best TJ's kipper pic I could find on the Internet.

My pantry has five tins of kippers, one tin of smoked trout, 8 cans of whole anchovies in salt, sixteen cans of tuna, four cans of smoked sprat pate, one tin of sardines in olive oil, and one tin of smoked sprats.

They're not all at the same grocer, so I just buy a lot of whatever is at the respective grocer when I'm there.

I've never had Appel branded tins, but I have had the TJs tins and agree they are fantastic.

The mustard and paprika herring is especially good.
