About 12 Days of Fishwife Advent Calendar 2026

Fishwife, the Los Angeles tinned fish company, has made its first advent calendar: a blue book-shaped box titled The Magical Fishwife Advent Calendar, drawn with skaters, a snowman and a sardine on the ice, with 12 doors of tinned fish and a few extras. Fishwife keeps the doors a surprise but lists the ingredients of what is inside, which names ten of the twelve: smoked salmon in olive oil, sardines with preserved lemon, little sardines, mussels with sweet pepper and garlic, albacore tuna with Spanish lemon, smoked sockeye, smoked salmon with Fly By Jing chili crisp, chocolate sardines, a mini Tabasco and a Bag Balm x Fishwife tin of skin balm.

It also promises a returning favourite and a new tin made only for this box. 150 USD at eatfishwife.com, in stock when checked on 27 October 2026.

12 Days of Fishwife Advent Calendar 2026 by the numbers

How each one is countedEvery figure is computed from the record at build time and set against the median of the same season and the same kind of contents. Door price is the price on the box over its doors; the value multiple is what the contents come to at retail over that price; full size is the retailer’s own marking. Where the record cannot support a figure, the page leaves it out rather than guessing.The definitions, one by one →

Each figure against the median of this season's food shelf — 181 calendars. Green is the better side of the median, red the worse; the median is printed so you can disagree.

Our 12 Days of Fishwife Advent Calendar 2026 review

Our verdict
Seven proper tins of Fishwife's fish, from preserved lemon sardines to the chili crisp salmon, plus chocolate sardines and a Bag Balm tin, is a good sampler for someone already into tinned fish. At this price for twelve doors it is a fan's box rather than a bargain.
