Depends on the source of the eels. Ethics in eel sourcing is .... fishy.

Good point. The cans say they're from Taiwan. Is best China more responsible with their fisheries?

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
east asia in general has a fuckton of illegal, unregulated, unreported fishing but its hardly exclusive to the region

I don't think there any really sustainable fisheries for eels anymore, they're hosed globally. The saury in miso looks good.

In other news, I now have big Crown Prince smoked oysters in olive oil and petite ones from Reese in cottonseed oil, the little ones are much nicer and I will stick with those from now on.

Canned salmon is good. The strange conical cans it comes in are good.

Those Riga Gold 'dines are excellent. Tiny, but meaty and flavourful. The smoke flavor might not be to everyone's liking but give them a try. 10/10

KO Mackerel in olive oil on top of a cheap rear end Aldi naan bread. Mozzarella, red pepper flakes, furikake, pepper.

Super delish. Mackerel might be my new favorite.

That article took me on a fun trip around the 'dine side of internet. Here's a blog about sardines and a historical essay about the French sardine industry in the early 1900s: https://mouth-full-of-sardines.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-french-sardine-industry-1901.html

Dinner was fried rice with KO mackerel. Stuck some hot sauce and oyster sauce on that and have a very flavorful dinner. If I added garlic I could quarantine without self quarantining.

I keep a sardine fork in my car

and bottled water to wash it off

Honestly that's the best way to social distance. Might actually do that tomorrow. Plus a sandwich baggie cause my wife makes me seal up my empty tins/lid before I throw them away. Fair enough I say.

Why do 'dines and beer go so well together?

As a late night snack I had a slice of this pain de campagna I baked with these Moroccan dines in tomato sauce. The sauce was definitely not very saucy, or good. I masked the flavor some hot sauce.
