Working at home, mostly seated at the kitchen table, the overstuffed pantry beckons me to solve the age-old problem of what to have for dinner.
More often than not, tinned fish comes to the rescue. Perhaps it’s the smoked salmon we fell in love with on an Alaskan trip, or the 20 flavors of sardines we encountered in a shop in Portugal, or the delicate not-too-salty anchovies from Spain’s Basque region. Usually, it’s the stockpile of the feel-good, wild-caught tuna from our local Whole Foods that gets the attention.
