Fishwife Partnered with Bixby Chocolate for Valentine's Day

— February 3, 2025 — Lifestyle
Fishwife, the brand bringing tinned fish to a new generation of consumers, teamed up with Bixby Chocolate for Valentine's Day to create sardine-shaped dark chocolates.

The dark chocolate sardines made in partnership with Bixby Chocolate were exclusive to Fishwife's Valentine's Day Gift Pack. Consumers who were able to snap up the limited-time pack before it sold out will be able to treat themselves to three tinned fish cans (one Smoked Rainbow Trout, one Smoked Salmon with Sweet & Spicy Zhong, and one Albacore Tuna in Spicy Olive Oil) plus and a chocolate treat packaged in the same style for dessert.

Thanks to this box—which also contains a How To Eat Fishwife sticker sheet—a romantic dinner in February need not be overcomplicated.
