An impending heatwave has threatened to stow away — or rather, further preserve — countless tins of anchovies. That imminence has now become an unfortunate reality for Fishwife, which announced Wednesday that it is pausing shipments of the delicate fish for the summer.
“As temperatures continue to grow across the country, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what conditions would keep anchovies (sic) texture and flavor at their very best,” the woman-founded tinned seafood brand said in an Instagram statement that wittily pokes fun at a recent joint announcement made by a disgraced reality television duo. “We’ve come to the conclusion to take our anchovies offline for the summer as shipping them in the summertime heat drastically impacts their wondrous quality.”
