The Tin Papi Shop is Coming Soon!

I’m Michael Motamedi, a MasterChef finalist, full-time traveler, and lover of preserved foods. What started as a lighthearted nickname on social media quickly turned into something much bigger. After sharing my love for tinned seafood from around the world, people started calling me The Tin Papi. It stuck and became a movement.

At first, I was simply exploring. Tasting the finest conservas Spain had to offer. Discovering beautifully crafted tins across Europe and beyond. It opened a whole new world to me, one built on tradition, quality, and care. But as time went on, I started to imagine what could come next. What if this incredible tradition could be expanded, reinterpreted, and shared with an even wider audience?

So I decided to build something new.

This brand is rooted in two of the great loves of my life: the thrill of travel and the timeless beauty of Spanish conservas. It’s my way of capturing the places I’ve been, their flavors, their stories and their soul. This isn’t just tinned seafood. It’s the next chapter in a long and beautiful story.

These tins are invitations.

To travel. To taste. To rethink everything you thought you knew about canned foods.

Welcome to The Tin Papi.

It’s going to be different here.
