The one positive thing about being in quarantine is that I can eat cod liver straight out of the tin for lunch & nobody's going to be offended by the smell.

I like them. Then again I like liver in most forms so :shrug: .

If anything they are more like fois gras than chicken/beef liver in texture.

Just had a can of KO skinless boneless in olive oil over a little warm rice. Poured about half the oil on the rice, put some lemon juice on the fish.

It was perfect, so good I had to post about it. Like it made the back part of my brain tingle it was so good.

They’re even better with the skin and bones. I know it looks odd at first, but give it a shot!!

On a lark I looked up a katsu sauce recipe. It's just mirin, soy sauce, worcestershire, ketchup, garlic and ginger, like the unholy fusion of Japanese and English sauces. I eyeballed a batch and it came out real good. Tried it with some spam and, ersatz chicken katsu, chicken tendies tonight. Gonna mix up another batch and try it with fish sticks or 'dines tomorrow.

Yeah its pretty much just european fish sauce, which is great because fish sauce of some kind goes well in almost everything. They're practically interchangeable.

edit: I can't wait for the avacados to ripen. I have sardine toast plans and they're holding up the whole goddamn show.

There is a possibility that the roman condiment, garum, a fermented fish sauce once as ubiquitous, if not more-so, than what salt and pepper are to table seasonings today across the entirety of the Roman empire and its influence, spread east via the silk road and into the far east.
Here, asian cultures used the condiment and made it their own into a variety of sauces etc. Becoming what we know today as "fish sauce" (garum supposedly was fairly similar to, but not quite the same as a very good Thai fish sauce).

Much later, after garum went out of production and had faded from usage and memory, when Europe began trading more heavily with the far east, particularly India, a condiment returned to them. Ketchup, or catsup, via india, in which fermented fish was originally used and used to preserve vegetables. This fermented fish sauce also returned to Britain in 1837 as an ingredient in Worcestershire Sauce.

So, if you buy into the theory that garum's usage and popularity was promulgated via the silk road, "European fish sauce" just...came back to europe.

I am just eating this, it is really nice. Never thought to use celery like this, its freshness marries with the heaviness of the 'dines perfectly.

I have little dried anchovies from the nearby Asian grocery store & adding it to stocks is a great way to increase the umami flavor.

A few nights ago I sprinkled some Lawrys seasoning salt onto some dines along with some lemon juice. It was good but, unsurprisingly, too salty. I've been toying around with making bootleg lawrys without the salt. It's not working out, so I've decided to move my experimentation to the core active non salt, non sugar ingredients of lawrys: onion and garlic powder and expand from there. I mulled a batch onion and garlic powder with Italian herb mix, gonna throw in a pinch of salt and some red wine vinegar and use that on some dines tomorrow.

So yeah, one part garlic powder, one part onion powder one part dried Italian herb blend, pinch of salt muddled together, red wine vinegar to reconstitute. It's good dine sauce, subtle and with characteristics of both vinaigrette and Italian dressing.

I remember why I like Seasons so much. Other than being cheap at costco, they aren't overpoweringly smokey.

Lawrys is 1.99 for 12 ounces. it's on point poo poo, you just gotta be careful with it. don't re-invent the wheel here, just don't abuse the Lawrys. a light dusting. Hold it high above the food when you dust it.

i eat the skinless boneless spanish style dines and piss off with your 'eat the bones' talk. they're the poo poo.

i also eat riga sprats so you know i'm not a pussy.

i have something to prove here w/r/t canned fish. don't ask why, i don't wanna dig that deep.

We are all already grand children of the sea, friend.

Fried up some green onion and green bean with some mushed up King Oscar and put it on Samyang hot chicken ramen. Was very excellent. Have some 2x hot coming soon and I am optimistically scared, I have not challenged myself to spicy food in some time.

If you're serious, I think a location might help. The answer would be very different if you were in middle Arizona vs coastal Spain.

I live on the coast of wa, and I'm pretty sure you have to get pretty far out for fish like that, but I can basically yell at the water and get my daily limit of Dungeness

I keep telling myself I should go surf fishing since it's the only activity that allows you to go chill out on the beach right now. Spot, croaker and roundhead are almost sardines but the bones are definitely too big to eat.

I'm not looking at anything in the immediate future, but given that we may be living through the decline of western civilization putting an idle thought towards securing the capture and processing of little fishes seems prudent.

For making practical examples and data easier to apply, let's say northern california to southern oregon.

Where do the little fishes run, what's the 'dinest port to dock in along the coast?
