‍Why It’s a Partytrick Favorite:

Let’s be real—tinned fish has been having a major moment, but this collab? It’s next level. It hits every note: effortlessly cool, globally inspired, and just the right amount of spicy to wake up your taste buds and your party spread. It’s a small-but-mighty addition that elevates any occasion, from low-key hangs to high-style soirées.

Plus, it’s made with the good stuff: all-natural ingredients, sustainable sourcing, and no weird additives. Just high-quality smoked salmon infused with the bold, complex heat of Fly By Jing’s Sichuan chili crisp. You’ll want to keep a few tins on hand for spontaneous hosting wins or luxe snacking moments when you’re treating yourself like a guest of honor.

How to Use It

Hosting a last-minute happy hour? Make this your centerpiece. Pair it with crisp lettuce leaves, thinly sliced cucumbers, pickled onions, and fresh herbs, then let guests build their own spicy-sweet lettuce wraps.

Going for something a little more polished? Serve it on crostini with a swipe of labneh and a drizzle of extra chili crisp. Or keep things simple: a tin, your favorite crackers, and a chilled glass of skin-contact wine is all you really need.

It’s flexible, unfussy, and undeniably fabulous—just the way we like our party snacks.
