Chocolate Sardines, Tinned

Dive into a whimsical twist on Maine's maritime heritage with Bixby Chocolate's Chocolate Sardines in a Tin Can!

These delightful confections pay homage to Maine's storied sardine industry, which flourished from the mid-1800s to the early 2000s. Once a cornerstone of Maine's coastal economy, sardine canneries dotted the shoreline, providing livelihoods for generations of Mainers.

Our chocolate sardines capture the essence of this history in a playful, sweet form. Each tin contains an assortment of exquisitely crafted dark or milk chocolate fish, expertly molded to resemble the iconic sardine. The rich, smooth chocolate delivers a luxurious taste that's worlds apart from the humble fish that inspired it.

The vintage-style tin packaging echoes the classic sardine cans of yesteryear, making it a perfect souvenir or gift. It's a conversation starter that brings together Maine's industrial past and its current reputation for artisanal foods.

Indulge in a piece of Maine's heritage reimagined. These chocolate sardines offer a unique way to experience the state's culinary creativity while honoring its maritime roots.

Excellent Product- so yummy and fun!

After a recent trip to Portugal where we kept seeing carnival-like store fronts that turned out to be selling SARDINES this was the perfect gift to add to the easter basket for my wife. We are vegan and the dark chocolate is perfect for us! I'm sure to buy them again in the future!!

Great Tinned "Fish"!

The dark chocolates were a gift for my son who loves tinned fish. He commented how good his chocolate fish were, which is a surprise since he mostly loves sour candy. What a whimsical idea to showcase your amazing chocolate and a nod to your state of Maine! Thank you!

Fun and delicious!

Bixby's chocolate sardines were a big hit here. My significant other loves real sardines, so it was a no-brainer to order some chocolate sardines as a surprise. He actually thought I had bought him real sardines until he looked closely at the label! The chocolate was dark and rich and felt amazing on the tongue with no grittiness at all. We had fun eating a sardine after dinner as dessert. Thanks for the clever packaging and wonderful chocolate!

Such fun! Great chocolate! Excellent company!

This order, although a little pricey, was and is such fun! My mother worked in a sardine factory for a period of time in her younger life. This is a great way to not only remember her in my life, but a great way to enjoy just about the perfect chocolate in the shape of sardines! Fast shipping! Packaging was very good!

The tins are being saved for upcoming road cycling adventures with friends - sardines are a frequent food on our tours with friends, so I'm sure these chocolate sardines will be quite welcome! 'sorry I've no taste feedback yet. BUT...
my Valentine's Day gift of BOC truffles offered tangy smooth sweetness to my husband and me, both!
