US canned fish enjoyers- if you could try any canned fish from the UK, what would you pick?

My fiancée’s brother (American) really likes tinned fish and I thought I would get him some from the UK while I’m here, but I don’t want to accidentally get something that he could easily find at the grocery store at home.

I thought about getting him some of the Glenryck Pilchards in Tomato Sauce which I grew up on, but google tells me those (or an identical product) are widely available from Hispanic and Asian supermarkets. So now I’m thinking maybe potted crab, or canned whelks, as these are British seafood classics. Maybe some Welsh laverbread too (not fish I know, but fish-adjacent).

But what say you, fish lovers? If you could pick some UK tinned fish to try what would you choose?

Has anyone tried this brand/tin?

I’m fairly new to tinned fish, mostly have just had sardines in oil/tomato sauce, and I get a bit anxious about trying certain things before having some taste information beforehand (bit silly I know). I haven’t been able to find much about this brand specifically, and especially about this type (smoked kippered herring), so I was just wondering if anyone has tried and has any input/pairing tips! Thank you 😊

Made a post previously asking about if anyone had tried these, I just did and they are great! I made a little snack plate with crackers, feta, red onions, capers, tomatoes, garlic butter, pepperoncini’s, and some salt and pepper! So so good 😄 Not too fishy, nice smoky taste, good texture !
