Cheapest tinned fish?

noirist

Hello all. It's been a while since I made a post here.

I am trying to get more fish in my diet. I enjoy: tuna (in oil or water, can't stand brine!), salmon, Prince's pilchards in tomato sauce (doesn't have to be Prince's brand, I suppose. :P)

I was wondering if any of you kind people, while out shopping, could have a look for me at how much these tinned fish cost in the following supermarkets:

Tesco
Asda
Lidl
Sainsburys

(Those are the only ones I can get to, in my town.)

Or if you know of any cheaper places online, or a price comparison site I could use then I would be really appreciative. Thank you.

For Tesco, Asda & Sainsburys, look here:

(change the store using the dropdown list on the left)

Pound shops etc. sometimes have tinned fish too.

Thanks a lot, Stompa!

Lidl sell tinned tuna chunks in oil or brine for £3 for four 185g tins. (130g drained weight.) It's nice quality, good solid chunks and that's their standard price, sometimes you can get it lower on offer.


They have a lot of other tinned fish as well including herring in flavoured sauces, tuna salads etc, though I don't know the prices of these. But knowing Lidl they'll be a good deal.

I think pilchards may be about the cheapest tinned fish per kg (£3.50?) and I know Aldi sell sardines in oil but not sure if cheaper than Asda.

Try some fresh fish too. Probably not as cheap but its nice and a lot of these tinned fish have lots of additives in the sauce.

Aldi do 49p tuna, sure they do it in oil as well, someone else said farmfoods, they do princes tuna for 49p.

B and M bargains do 5 tins of tuna for £2, but its in brine, however might be useful to someone else reading this.

Farmfoods and Iceland do bags of frozen, plain fish which is between £5-6 per kg. The pieces an be a bit oddly sized but it tastes fine and it's fine if you're going to coat it in a sauce or make a pie or whatever. I agree with McKneff, that you'd be better cooking from scratch rather than buying a fish ready meal type thing.
