'Bon Iver x [Fishwife](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoked-salmon-with-sichuan-chili-crisp) Smoked Salmon' is a limited-edition product inspired by the salmon-colored world of the new Bon Iver album. This Atlantic salmon sourced from Kvarøy Arctic and hand-packed in Washington invites listeners to "press play, take a bite, and enter the SABLE, [fABLE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fable-tea-identity) universe."

Tinned fish, once a humble pantry staple, has made a comeback as an in-demand delicacy, celebrated for its rich flavor and artisanal appeal. The popularity of [tinned fish dinners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-tinned-fish) and seacuterie boards has grown so much that brands like Fishwife can drop limited-edition, collaborative cans that feel more like collectibles than cupboard essentials.

'SABLE, FABLE' is Bon Iver's fifth studio album and the Bon Iver x Fishwife Smoked Salmon is one of more than two dozen official brand collabs promoting it.
