Check their website pretty regularly and are always sold out. Last week they had some in stock so I ordered two 4-packs. They were delivered today, and I just had to crack in. Per recommendations to heat the tin up on Reddit, I let these run under hot water in a bowl to let the butter fully melt. Let me tell you that it was worth it. This is easily in the top few best tinned fishes I’ve ever had. Highly recommended.

Do you think the “not just a pretty box” quip is a jab at Fishwife? Is there drama in the tinned fish world?
Letting the butter melt is next lvl and totally worth it. Makes them taste so much better!
Yes! Their different clams including the razor clams are really good too. The octopus was fine but nothing special and there’s a lot of good octopus out there.
But the tuna in butter is really special. There’s so few butter tins at all and the actual tuna they use is really nice as well. There’s a lot of nice tuna options around that price point (and a couple that aren’t nice!) in high quality olive oil and all that (Ortiz leaps to mind) but the butter really gives it an indulgent feeling.
The octopus is the only one that is bad. Don’t bother with that one. Glad to see you took the advice on the tuna belly my friend
I’ve always wanted to try razor clams ever since I saw Ray Mears hunting them on a beach, no luck so far
Looked online, pretty expensive for fish. Even with the price is it worth it?
I love anything in galacian sauce.
Well… I’m 100 something dollars poorer. Got a 4 pack and some clams.
Island Creek is back in stock? You’ve made my day!
Ok welp. Here goes 80 bucks! It better be worth it lol
I’m so excited to try these!! I got 6 varieties of IC tins recently. My local seafood shop marked them down to $13/ea as a Christmas special!
I convinced myself to place another order… this time with the razor clams and little neck clams. 🤷♂️
So good
Hopping on the train and placed an order!
