Sea Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves
(and the future of the fishing industry)
Sea Sisters - British Tinned Fish & Seafood
Sea Sisters is a craft cannery based in Bridport, West Dorset, preserving the very best British fish and seafood at peak season.
Founded by Charlotte Dawe and Angus Cowan, Sea Sisters became the first producers to can fish in England since the 1940s, bringing the European conservas tradition home to UK shores. Working directly with local day-boat fisheries across the country, they pack each tin by hand in small batches using high-quality olive oil, thoughtful seasonings, and time-honoured preserving methods.
The result? Beautifully simple, ready-to-eat seafood that delivers big flavour without fuss - perfect for quick lunches, easy hosting, and low-effort luxury. If you’re searching for the best British tinned fish or responsibly sourced seafood in the UK, Sea Sisters is the benchmark.
Why We Love Sea Sisters:
At Peak & The Pantry, we back brands that care deeply about what they make and how they make it - and Sea Sisters are exactly that.
From the moment we tasted their tins, we knew they belonged on our shelves. Their commitment to British seafood, ethical sourcing, and traditional small-batch production mirrors everything we stand for: honest food, thoughtful sourcing, and flavour that speaks for itself.
Charlotte and Angus began with a simple mission — to celebrate UK seafood through beautiful conservas made with integrity. Today, every tin tells that story: sustainable produce, carefully paired ingredients, and a respect for the fish that shines through in every mouthful.

Responsible from Sea to Tin
Sustainability is at the heart of Sea Sisters’ work.
They source only British fish caught using low-impact methods, support local fisheries, and can exclusively in season to protect future stocks. Their tins are fully recyclable, and every stage of production - from sourcing to packing - focuses on minimising waste while maximising quality.
Choosing Sea Sisters means enjoying great seafood while backing responsible fishing in the UK.
