Canada's Top Reviewed British Shop
A small jar with a fish on the label, hot buttered toast, and no further questions.
Princes Crab, Salmon, Sardine & Tomato and Tuna & Mayonnaise pastes have quietly been giving sandwiches something to work with. They are little jars of paste rather than tins of whole fish. Lunch can be straightforward without every jar having to make the same contribution.
Some British food memories are grand, and some come in a small jar with a fish on the label. This collection is firmly the second kind. Princes paste is the sort of thing that turns up in a proper sandwich spread, on hot buttered toast or on a plate of crackers when someone wants a snack, and anyone who grew up with it tends to know exactly which flavour they reached for first. Our Princes range covers four of the classics: Sardine and Tomato Paste, Crab Paste, Salmon Paste and Tuna & Mayonnaise Paste, each in a 75g size and all shipped from Canada by The Great British Shop.
Fish paste sandwiches have a particular place in British life. They belong to packed lunches, church hall teas, picnics that never quite escaped the drizzle and the kind of afternoon spread where the crusts were very much optional. Princes Salmon Paste and Princes Crab Paste are the familiar names here, easy to spread thinly on white bread with a bit of butter, or a little less thinly if nobody is watching. They are small, simple and much harder to find in Canada than they really should be.
If salmon and crab are the polite end of the shelf, Princes Sardine and Tomato Paste is the one with a bit more personality, and it has a loyal following for good reason. Princes Tuna & Mayonnaise Paste sits somewhere in between, a softer option that works on toast, in a quick sandwich or on a cracker with a slice of cucumber. With four jars to choose from, it is easy to pick up a favourite or try the full set and settle the family argument once and for all.
We ship nationwide, so orders head out to Halifax and Dartmouth, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria, Winnipeg, Kitchener, Moncton, Saint John and St. John’s without you having to search every international aisle in town for one small jar. Princes paste also sits nicely in a bigger order alongside tea, biscuits, crisps and other cupboard staples, which makes it a handy way to put together a proper British tea at home. For anyone looking to buy British Princes in Canada, this collection keeps the classic paste flavours in one place.
