As a sideline to bullion trading, LAINSON EUROPE also conduct a healthy trade in vintage canned fish, aimed both at collectors and investors.

A trading fad in the late 1980's, canned fish collecting is making a come-back.

Those in the know are well aware that "best before" and "use by" dates are not relevant. Fish, and sardines in particular, benefit greatly from long periods of maturity, just like fine wines. In addition, the attraction of complete and integral cans is of great interest to those who see the value of investing in fish with the sole intention of accruing a capital gain rather than eating the contents, and with some tins from the 1800's selling for thousands of pounds, this interest in investment cans is slowly but surely filtering out into the general market.

Unfortunately, our stock of fish from that period has long gone, but we still retain stocks of some interesting contemporary cans which we hope may tickle your fancy.

We need to add that legally, we must tell you that all these products are sold with "investment only" status, not to be consumed. But what you do with them after having bought them is your private affair!

For canned fish only, packaging and postage by insured Recorded Delivery is £7.50 for up to 3 items with a replacement value up to £50 and by insured Special Delivery for £12.00 for up to 10 items with a replacement value up to £500.

For orders above this value, we shall quote a tailored price for couriered delivery. Clients outside the UK should ask for a customised delivery quote.

The items shown above are a small part of a large selection of canned fish available for sale.
