A Classic Baltic Tin
This tin holds small brisling sardines, fried and packed in a garlic-style sauce, made by the Latvian brand Diplomats under their “Highest Quality” line.
Diplomats is a long-established Latvian fish cannery, and this product is certified gluten-free, following the same traditional frying and canning methods used for Baltic sprats for generations.
The fish are packed close together in the tin, ready to eat straight from the can, on bread, or alongside potatoes — a simple, hearty flavour rather than a delicate one.
It’s a fitting gift for anyone curious about traditional Baltic and Latvian food, whether for a colleague, a foodie friend, or as an add-on to a gift box.
For visitors to Riga, a tin like this is a compact, shelf-stable souvenir that’s easy to pack and doesn’t need refrigeration.
Please note: packaging design may differ slightly from the photos; net weight and exact garlic content should be checked against the physical tin before purchase.
