Take a walk down Arthur Avenue in the Bronx’s Little Italy and pay a visit to this family-owned business since 1915. There’s a selection of sardines, and more importantly, Sicilian anchovies — a staple in Southern Italian cooking — perfect for topping pizzas, melting into a sauce, or for whipping up a classic Caesar dressing. While not tinned or jarred, one of their more unique products are the loose, salt-packed anchovies that are sold by the pound.

Originally a chorizo factory, this Jackson Heights institution has been importing Spanish specialty food products since 1971. The store carries some unique brands that represent a vast breadth of Spain, including Cabo de Peñas from Galicia, Don Bocarte from Cantabria, and Agromar from Asturias — many establishments around town source their conservas from Despaña. In 2006, the company opened an offshoot location in Soho, where there’s a boutique grocery store and tapas cafe that hosts one of the city’s largest selections of Güeyu Mar products.

For those in need of a crash course on Spanish eating, Mercado Little Spain is a good start. The lower level of this Hudson Yards space includes legs of jamon iberico, creamy gazpachos,, churros, and porrons flowing with wine. While tinned fish doesn’t serve as a focal point here, it’s worth stopping by the small central shop and picking up both José Andrés and Mercado Little Spain branded conservas. At $19.95, Mercado Little Spain branded cockles might be some of the cheapest in town.

Maiden Lane might be the closest thing New Yorkers can find to a classic Southern European conserveria, but in its own very New York way. Directly across from Tompkins Square Park, the bustling corner is home to its own Tin Shop. The selection features a nice blend of reasonably priced European and North American tinned seafood products, from sardines to razor clams. Tins can be purchased to pop at home, in the park, or consumed at one of the bar’s sidewalk tables. Diners can also wash their seafood down with a $4 draft beer or $25 bottle of wine.

For a more refined and traditional Spanish conservas experience, stop by the East Village tapas and pintxos bar and gaze toward the conservas menu. With everything from budget friendly offerings by Patagonia Provisions (yes, it’s from the outdoor clothing company) to more extravagant selections like grilled tuna neck from Güeyu Mar, there is something for everyone. This is a great way to experience conservas in the way that many Spaniards do — alongside a glass of sweet vermouth.

With its squeaky clean aesthetic, the new Essex Street Market is host to counters, shelves, and kitchens full of specialty comestibles. At Formaggio Essex, the cheese selection gets all the attention but don’t forget to check out the tinned fish selection. Here, there’s a wide array of tinned seafood from around the globe, including New Hampshire’s own Gulf of Maine Conservas Bluefin Tuna, one of the few regional offerings out there, and one of the few retailers carrying it in the city.

This LES establishment has taken a more roundabout approach. The space has an almost disorienting charm, like an obscure modern apothecary, or a fictional bodega from a Wes Anderson film. Toward the back of the shop there is a charming display of tinned seafood offerings with a focus on the newschool players like Scout and Fishwife.

Beyond hearty sandwiches and craft beer, Alicia and Daniel Guevara are dishing out some premium tinned seafood for retail — from La Brujula to Pinhais, a once uncommon brand of old school Portuguese sardines. With an abundance of natural wine, beer, spirits, crusty bread, artisanal crackers, and pickled accoutrements, it’s a one-stop shop for a lazy tinned fish meal.

At chefs Alex Raij and Eder Montero’s Cobble Hill favorite, the couple are carrying the highbrow brands like Zallo, Güeyu Mar, and Ramón Peña. Customers can be prepared to spend anywhere from $18 to $50 per tin. A reminder despite the possible sticker shock: The roughly 120 grams of world-class seafood can be consumed just about anywhere and requires no cooking.

Fort Greene’s gourmet provisions retailer seems to carry good everything, meaning it should come as no surprise that they have carved out a premium tinned seafood collection. There’s a solid variety of North American and European tins, which can be paired with some bubbles  from their wine shop next door.
