Fishwife Sardines with Preserved Lemon

Are the bones edible?

Yes. In tinned sardines the small bones are soft and edible, and they're a good source of calcium.

How do I serve them?

On buttered toast with extra lemon, tossed into pasta, or over greens.

How should I store the tin?

Keep unopened tins in the pantry. Once opened, move any leftovers to an airtight container, refrigerate, and use within a few days.

When will my order ship, and when will it arrive?

You choose your delivery date at checkout, and we ship your order overnight the day before. Because we only ship Monday through Thursday, delivery is available Tuesday through Friday, so your seafood never sits in a carrier facility over the weekend outside its 48-hour freshness window. Available delivery dates may vary with our seasonal store hours.

How is it shipped?

Many of our smoked seafood and pantry items are shelf-stable, so they travel safely well beyond the 48-hour window our fresh seafood requires. You can choose the 2-day delivery option at checkout for a lower shipping cost, or choose overnight if you need it sooner. If your order also includes fresh seafood, the whole order ships overnight to protect the fresh items. Full shipping rates by region ->

Do you ship to my address?

We ship to all 48 continental states, plus Alaska and Hawaii at a $95 flat rate. We're unable to ship to PO boxes, FPO, or APO addresses.

What if my order arrives damaged or spoiled?

If your order arrives damaged or you received the wrong product, contact us within 14 days of delivery for a refund or reshipment. We're not able to accept returns once an order has shipped, so if there's an issue, reach out right away. Full refunds & returns policy ->
