well you have to debone them and crush them into a fine paste, then mix them with spices and garlic. Ideally cayenne pepper flakes, spiciness will help a lot. Once you've got that set up nicely, you'll want to put some oil in a pan on low heat then throw the sardine paste in the garbage because you will never enjoy sardines sorry

Ya'll should double-dad and hit up Costco. They carry Season boneless skinless sardines in olive oil (5 for $8). $1.60 a can for delicious BPA free sustainably harvested fishtins. I make a big supersalad every night and top it with a can of sardines and half a lemon squeezed over it. Ain't no better eatin'.

Canned fish is always so bland though and I wage sardines are no different.

Put anchovies on your pizza though, and on your meatballs, and also on every tomato sauce pasta dish u can handle.

Go into it with an open mind and realize that they're supposed to taste like that. Otherwise, sardines are as fishy as they get.

I'm going to have to try sardines and mustard now. What kind of mustard do you recommend?

Also, what is the best dadrock around these days? Should I be listening to Hootie?

something stone-ground like Plochman's or Boetje's. The best dadrock for you specifically would be all of Bob Dylan's albums up to and including Empire Burlesque.

French and Portuguese sardines are really the best, too bad they cost 2 or 3 times as much as King Oscar. Fresh Copper River Sockeye flown overnight to a midwestern fish market is cheaper by the pound lol.

If you eat something x number of times you will like it. I recommend 3 sardine based meals/day until you see results.

Pro tip if you're getting bumblebee hot sauce sardines, look for product of Poland on the bottom. Conveniently they usually have a gold top, as opposed to product of Canada tins with a silver top.

This is important. Polish tins are WAY SPICIER and more Delicious than their watered down frenchie counterparts

Always check the tin

I liked anchovies before I liked sardines so you're probably going to have to approach is slowly. I would just eat other seafood until you like the taste of common fish, and then eat sardines that are in/on something* that helps mute the flavor a bit until you hit the point where you can just pop open a can and eat them like an animal.

*Pizza, pasta, salads, sandwhiches, whatever really.

I would super recommend everyone gets into eating sardines and small fish in general though. They're good for you, their populations have exploded due to natural predators dying so they're super sustainable, and as a bonus you don't really have to worry about animal treatment related problems with them because we don't really need to factory farm them. Small fish are basically the least wasteful and most ethical animals to eat right now if you're gonna eat animals.

Tilapia is probably the most agreeable fish out there. In fish tacos it's bomb as gently caress.

Go to a respectable restaurant and order fish tacos. You won't pussy out eating them unless you are literally the biggest gayby.

Once you enjoy those, graduate to salmon. It's a bit fishier, but I started out hating it and now I love it. Go wild-caught if you can.

Sushi is also (surprisingly) an easy way to get in. Spicy Tuna rolls are like the burger 'n fries of the sushi world, so start there. The texture of raw tuna is heavenly.

Now that you're acclimated, maybe try something like mullet (I've actually never had mullet, can someone weigh in?)

Then you're ready for your sarDINES. No "Mr." Accent on the DINES.

there are places that make california rolls using real crab, and some that even offer a choice between crab and k.r.a.b. for patrons who actually prefer the fake stuff

Lets see how much sardines would I have to eat to be healthy

quote:

2. Have three to four cans each week.

This will provide enough omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D for most people, so you won’t need a supplement. I have seen no appreciable mercury or other toxicity at this level of sardine consumption. By contrast, most all other fish and all shellfish, even wild-caught salmon, are often toxic today and should be totally avoided.

I'm still loving laughing at the guy who posted the putanesca sauce recipe and said to use sardines in it.

It's supposed to be anchovies, sardines would be stupid to put in there, the entire point is to 'melt' the anchovies at the start of the sauce.
