WILD AUSTRALIAN SALMON
Arripis trutta
SOUTHERN AUSTRALIAN COASTAL WATERS
Australian Salmon are regularly targeted and caught by recreational anglers around Australia. Commercially, Australian salmon is wild caught and is considered highly sustainable due to both its abundance and methods used in its harvest which result in low bycatch and negligible environmental impact.
LOCAL INGREDIENTS
Its not just our seafood that is locally sourced. At Little Tin Co we endeavor to hero Australian ingredients by supporting small and artisan producers like CAPE JAFFA WHISKEY (Limestone Coast, South Australia), PENINSULA PROVIDORE OLIVE OIL (Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia) and HARRIS SMOKEHOUSE (Adelaide Hills).

At Little Tin Co, we SOURCE AND CAN all our seafood in Australia. LOCALLY sourced seafood not only helps support our local economy, but it also ensures our supply chain is transparent, giving us confidence that we are producing equitable, premium and sustainably produced seafood that is harvested using ethical sourcing practices.
Supporting LOCAL FISHERS AND FOOD PRODUCERS helps to promote a more resilient and sustainable food system, with less reliance on imported products and food miles.
DELICIOUS
Tinned seafood has a rich and varied history that dates back centuries. What started out as a way to produce nutritious shelf-stable food has now evolved into an artisanal delicacy.
Little Tin Co is reimagining the art of tinned seafood by creating delicious AUSTRALIAN SOURCED seafood products that can be enjoyed on their own, used to pimp a platter, or as a FLAVOUR BOMB in a variety of recipes.
We work with chefs, great cooks and food lovers using fresh flavours and quality ingredients to create delicious preserved seafood - meticulously crafted.
CONSIDERED
At Little Tin Co, we are committed to sustainability and strive to ensure that we contribute to a HEALTHY MARINE SYSTEM for generations to come.
When developing a new product, we carefully consider each species, the location it is sourced and the fishing techniques or aquaculture methods used in its harvest.
To that end, we source our seafood from RESPONSIBLY MANAGED FISHERIES that prioritise sustainability and the health of the ocean.
