I just picked up some sardines at the store. I get the boneless and skinless ones since I am willing to pay more for a stupid loving dumb fish than I really should.

If I open a can of sardines, my cat is going to freak the gently caress out. Is it ok if I give him some too?

i never realized how much this really is dad food. my assumption is in the 70s and 80s single proto-dads just watched tv and ate sardines cheese and crackers constantly, i know that's what my dad did and looks like it's pretty common

i also think my dad ate ridiculous amounts of summer sausage

smoked oysters > sardines

theyre both good but the oysters edge out the sardines slightly on account of fishiness

100% agree, I just wish I could get the smoked oysters in something other than oil. Its a pain to have to wash off the oil whenever i wants me some oyster.

canned sprats (you can find them in european stores/some asian groceries w/ a euro section) are similar and also tasty imo



use some bread to soak up that tasty oil

Smoked sprats are loving wonderful. I can't find them in Hawaii and it's driving me kinda nuts, fortunately there's a salted, smoked Filipino substitute, but it requires more prep effort than opening a can and it requires deboning.

Re: Anchovies.
Soak those fuckers in red wine vinegar for a couple of hours before you eat them. Why do you people not know to do this?

I only ever see those at Trader Joes, though.

P good on their 7-grain with cholula nonetheless.

Get King Oscars in Extra Virgin Olive Oil and make this recipe, it is awesome and incredibly good for you:

quote:

Sherried Sardine Toast
Recipe courtesy of Alton Brown
Ingredients

2 (3.75-ounce 2-layer) tins brisling sardines in olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley leaves, divided
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest, reserve the lemon and cut into 4 wedges
Freshly ground black pepper
4 (1/2-inch) thick slices crusty bread, such as sourdough, country loaf or rye
1 ripe Hass avocado
Coarse sea salt

Directions

Drain the oil from 1 tin of sardines into a small bowl and set aside. Drain the oil from the other tin into another small bowl and whisk in 1 tablespoon of parsley, vinegar, lemon zest, and black pepper, to taste. Add the sardines, stir to combine and set aside for up to 1 hour.

After 45 minutes, put a rack 3-inches from the broiler and heat the oven to the broiler setting on high. Brush each slice of bread on 1 side with the reserved oil. Put the bread, oil side up, onto a cooling rack set inside a half sheet pan and broil 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Smash the flesh in each half with a fork.

Spread the avocado evenly onto the toasted bread. Top evenly with the sardines. Pour any remaining dressing on top and garnish with the remaining parsley.

Season lightly with sea salt and serve with lemon wedges.

E: I don't have sherry vinegar so I just use red wine vinegar.

Sardines are pretty good imo but the real appeal is they're healthy, cheap, mercury-free, and sustainable. I started eating them pretty recently and usually have them with horseradish on whole wheat. I would love to see more recipes~!

Hey man I understand you like eating sardines from a can but you gotta understand in a 40x20 un-ventilated break room you're being a loving rear end in a top hat and that's why no one was in the room anymore before you could open the second can.

See you've got to open them over the sink, drain them then stuff them fertively into your mouth with wild eyes then rinse the can, bury it under paper towels, pop a breath mint, then say WHATS THAT SMELL when someone walks in

First time I've heard of pairing them with horseradish, but I'm intrigued.

I like horseradish, but I basically only experience it with roast beef and cocktail sauce.

My disgusting sardines recipe (what i invented myself)

-chop 1 onion and fry in oil until it goes soft
-reduce the heat and add:
- 1 tin sardines
- 1 heaped tablespoon pickled chillies
- 1 big squirt of tomato puree
- salt & pepper

Simmer it until it's all nicely mixed together, adding a splash of water as necessary, then serve with pasta. loving delicious. Sardines rule.

Anybody here down with white anchovies?
They're in like a lemon and olive oil brine and they're loving fantastic.
I like regular anchovies just fine, but the white ones taste like a fish made out of caeser salad or something and it's loving awesome.

Also please post more sardine recipes because I had a tin a couple years back and just kinda 'meh'd at it pensively. I want to know how to unleash the beast.

There was a fish store, whatever you call a fresh fish place with whole fish, shaved ice etc, that had a bag of random fish I loved. It was like, little teeny fish (anchovies?) squid (calamari bits too small to deep fry) and scallops usually.

It was all ready to cook you just dumped it into oil with onions etc, usually have it with pasta, awesome cheap and guess what I'll never have it again since moving. Trying to buy all the ingredients alone is like $20 each as opposed to $5 bucks that is my fish story.

On the west coast there are Chinese stores that specialize in small live animal sales that will chop up frogs, turtles, fish, gremlins you name it and put the still wiggling bits in a bag, usually there's a whole pig on the wall behind the counter. Food.
