Brine from Canned Pickled Sprats

Brine from Canned Pickled Sprat is the flavored packing liquid from canned pickled sprats, commonly found in Scandinavian and northern European cuisines and used to add a briny, fishy umami to stews, salads and sauces. It is mostly a seasoning liquid rather than a source of calories or protein. Nutritionally it is very high in salt, containing about 2.5g of salt per 100g, so it should be used sparingly or diluted; it also contributes small amounts of marine micronutrients and protein typical of fish brines. Because it concentrates flavours from fish, it can add iodine and B vitamins in modest amounts while boosting savory taste, but its high sodium content is the main dietary consideration.
