Notable facts
- Described as Britain's first dedicated craft fish cannery — a genuinely UK-based maker, not a British-branded label canned abroad.
- Hand-produces British conservas from Cornish-landed sardines (Sardina pilchardus, the Cornish sardine).
- Fills a real gap: unlike US or other brands that source British/Cornish fish but can it in Brittany or Galicia, Sea Sisters actually cans in Britain.
