Is there anything you fucking Americans won't Columbus?

For years, canned sardines have been a bit of a joke, but that's not how they're thought of in places like Spain and Portugal, where "fish in a can" is something they proudly serve in restaurants, as Becca Millstein found out: "I had lived abroad in Spain in college," she said, "and had gone into these beautiful conservarías, and saw rows and rows of beautiful tins of fish. And nothing like that exists in the U.S."

Millstein wants to change that with her company, Fishwife, just one of a number of outfits (like Espinaler, La Curiosa, Alalunga, ABC+, and Ar de Arte) hoping to convince people to spend serious money on – not "canned fish," but "tinned fish."

Anna Hezel wrote an entire cookbook about, well, pre-cooked fish, called "Tin to Table." "It's a little more delicate, a little more special, and a little more premium," she said.

But is tinned fish just a fad? Becca Millstein says no. She named her company Fishwife for the industrious, tough women who've sold fish in the past – something she's hoping to do, long into the future. "It's something that people have been eating for hundreds of years," she said. "So, the trend that we're experiencing right now is the beginning of the new era of tinned fish."

That last paragraph is right out of the techbro, $400 Juicero playbook.

"We're reinventing tinned fish!"
