Oil as sauce
The packing liquid is half the dish. 3,139 tins in stock take to it.
The packing oil or sauce is the second half of the dish, so pour it over whatever you put the fish on rather than down the drain. On rice, pasta, a potato or bread, that liquid becomes the dressing, and a good olive oil or a piri-piri or a tomato sauce is doing real work. The oil packs and the sauced tins reward it; a brine or water tin has nothing to give here, so drain those instead. Some 3,139 tins are half oil by design. Never drain a good tin.
The move
Pour the oil or sauce over the base, not down the drain.
