InWater

The leanest preparation, the fish packed in water or its own juice with nothing added. It strips everything back: no oil, no fat, no flavour but the fish itself, which makes it the choice when the fish is going into something else, a salad, a cake, a sauce, rather than being eaten for its own sake. Often labelled natural. Lighter and plainer than oil or brine, and the most neutral starting point in the pantry.
