Traditional Russian can food
We would like to offer you traditional Russian can food.
The European sprat is the one commonly found in the Baltic. It’s a forage fish, very oily, and beloved of gannets. Sprats are sprats – they are not baby sardines, anchovies, or baby herrings – although they are not dissimilar in size and all of these often get confused.
In addition to gannets, sprats are also beloved of Estonians, and their neighbours on all sides, in particular the Latvians and the Russians.
The Russians like to eat them on open sandwiches. Traditionally we use the local black rye bread, butter, the sprats, a snipped spring onion or two and some sliced hard boiled egg which adds texture.
We have a range of different kind of sprats.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
