While this looks delicious and I eat sardines and avocados together on the reg, how is it a recipe? It's just mashed avocado on toast with sardines on top

The recipe calls for mixing lemon juice, lemon rind and marsala (I think?) vinegar with the sardines, and he toasts the bread using the oil from the can. It's a little bit of extra effort but it goes a long way.

It's more of a recipe than a pb&j sandwich at least

I think it calls for marsala vinegar but it might be sherry instead. I have a bottle of it at home that I bought specifically for sardines so I'll check if I remember.

I sometimes leave out the lemon because I'm lazy but the vinegar and toasting the bread with the sardine oil are pro moves. Alton Brown specifies a thick, crusty fancy bread like Semolina but I actually like it better on regular sliced whole wheat or multi-grain.

My lazy sardine sandwich when I don't feel like cooking dinner is the marsala vinegar and sambal oelek on toast and it's loving delicious. Avocados are just too loving expensive right now so I haven't gone through the effort recently.

It calls for sherry vinegar; usually I use cider vinegar since it's cheaper but this time I got some red wine vinegar. You don't need much so the bottle lasts a long time. Also IMO zesting the lemon is a must.

yeah, AB and everyone was hot for sherry vinegar 5-7 years ago. If you don't have it or whatever, just get balsamic vinegar. The lemon zest is great - I used to do this 'dines toast when I had some other recipe that needed juice but not zest, so i had some reserved.
Maybe that's why I can't afford a house?
Pro move is grow lemon chillies (aji limon/lemon) instead, you get a lemony flavour with a mild heat and you can skip the lemon you might have to buy.

Aussie sardine trip report: I went to coles for more brands and they sell "safcol" brand for $1.50 (South Australian fisheries co-op ltd). They obviously don't catch them just sell them as "eurpean quality" "from the baltic and Mediterranean".
If you like the small 'dines, this is for you, 12 tiny sardines so some of you don't have to worry about bones or internal organs lol. Flavour was pretty bland (it was in plain oil but still felt more bland than JW or KO), but that didn;t matter as I had many tiny sardines on toast with pickles and slaw so I didn't need flavourful sardines this time. Better than the huge sardines that might mean only 3-4 per tin like brunswick I've had, maybe john west scottish sardines taste nicer even if only 6 per tin?
Pros: size, price Cons: just plain oil flavour, would be better in a nicer oil.
Get some of these if you're in australia and just want very, very mild tasting tiny little fishies for protein. JW>KO>safcol>brunswick
E: next I'll try the coles homebrand, but first I've got to eat the sole mare (another au company) mackerel in morrocan spicy tomato sauce - I hope it has harissa in it

If you're making garlic & herb roasted Normandy vegetables, add a can of dines right after you take the vegetables out of the oven and mix it up real well to coat evenly. Garnish with a salty hard Italian cheese. Simple, effective, healthy, lazy. :discourse:

I love me some gat drat kippers. Got a big stack in my pantry. Also stocked with tins of smoked oysters because they're loving good and I hear raw oysters can give you herpes or some poo poo. Also they're gross.

I love cracking open a kipper snack and maybe noshing on some pickles or maybe a nice salad on the days when I'm too lazy to heat something up (this is most days).

Not eating raw oysters is very undadly and should be discouraged. Canned smoked oysters are fine, but an oyster that you shuck and eat with your own hands is far better. Different oysters from different regions can taste very different from one another, so if you've only had the big meaty ones from Safeway that you're supposed to barbecue then I can understand your confusion and would encourage you to do better in the future.

Smoked are good but they're one of the least good ways to eat oysters imo. Would rank:

1. Raw
2. Baked/Grilled
3. Fried
4. Smoked
5. Steamed

Hey guys who don't like anchovies, when I was in Korea they had this really tasty side dish that was served all the time at restaurants. It was these really tiny dried baby anchovies. Really chewey and savory, and not at all salty as gently caress like the stuff you've had on pizza. If you live near a Korean joint, your anchovy adventure could be underway as early as lunchtime tomorrow!

Yeah, John west is mainly known for it's tuna and salmon, but the sardines are great because they use a better quality oil. They claim EVOO and I'm not sure if it is, but definitely a better quality oil than safcol, ko or brunswick.

John west have a huge range for tuna though, it's their main line and it comes in more flavours than you think possible: tuna with nam jim, malaysian curry, indonesian sambal, chipotle, sriracha, korean bbq, jalapeno, tomato and basil, lemon, mango chilli, indian curry, sweet chilli, mustard. Also other lines of meal/snack pack like tuna with beans, tuna slices, tuna with rice, tuna with rice and green curry, with quinoa, with brown rice and red curry.

I just like their "smoked" tuna flavour. Goes well with my own wasabi/dyed horseradish

Cole's Smoked Rainbow Trout in Olive Oil is amazing. My wife hates sardines and anchovies and literally gags if I open a can of tuna, but even she loves the trout. It's splurgy compared to other canned fish, but sometimes it goes on sale at Fresh Market, so I always keep a few cans on hand for her.

I must admit that I finally tried KO Mackerel and didn't like it at all. As much as I love mackerel sashimi, I'm gonna stick to 'dines and kippers for my canned fishies.

for a short period of time there was this restaurant near me that was a raw oyster bar/scotch bar and it sounds weird but actually it was delicious as gently caress mixing the two and like for real try it some time eat the oyster then dump some scotch in the shell with the brine and slurp it up, but unfortunately it tried way too hard to be ultra hipster and was hella over priced on oysters with like half the menu being like $8+ per so they folded pretty quick. Now they are a bar that serves like $3-4 apps that are really good and are doing much better

When I barbecue oysters sometimes I make a little bit of garlic butter with a splash of whiskey in it, then spoon some of those in the shell as they cook. Smoky scotch works very well in this capacity.

Maybe I'll do this since the humpy run this year sucks, and I'm going to switch up to squid for surf perch bait. Do we need a GBS fishing thread?

Find a pier with outlets to power a flood light or already has strong lighting. Bring a fishing pole with 12-15lb line. Also get some squid jigs.



Three to four is good. Separated about 10 inches apart.

Lower the jigs into the water when dark. Feel a tug and gently lift up. Shake squid off into bucket.

Helps to watch someone doing it. Usually a gang of older Asian men will be killing it. Just watch and learn.

I'm going salmon fishing after work and fully expect to get skunked. Any bites on the line are a bonus. I'm also half-tempted to start a fishing thread, but doing so while LingcodKilla is around would make me feel like a complete fraud.

I didn't take a pic but here's a stock image that works:


Texture is soft, kinda buttery. If you've eaten foie gras, the texture isn't that far off. I don't think it's super strong in terms of fishiness (I would put mackerel over cod liver for that).

I've been mixing it in my morning kasha/fried egg breakfast. I do use the packaging's oil to fry my eggs, which is kinda nice. That said later on in the afternoon I feel like the cod liver oil smell is emanating from my body, either from my skin or deep down from my esophagus.

Yeesh. Does it have a bunch of membranes and poo poo in it? Like do you have to take it apart or could you eat it in the dark?

Sorry for all the Qs but im very curious. I love foie gras (of course) and I don't think mackerel is too fishy.
