I have, to my shame, but one child while I have many canned fish.

friend, you have many children yet few canned fish.

the best solution, the only real solution, I can see is to start a cannery and staff it with your offspring, thus rebalancing the canned fish/child equation

For a minute there I read this as saying you should start a cannery and stuff it with your offspring. That's one way to address the imbalance, I guess!


e: forgive me for the dumb snype, here's a recipe (in Swedish, just google translate it) for fashionable gin-pickled herring as tax: https://www.abba.se/recipes/sill-med-gin-och-granskott/ (The fresh spruce tips are not necessary.)



It was all the rage this summer in Finland, for some reason gin and lemon work incredibly well with pickled herring. If you have access to Nordic foodstuffs, I highly recommend to give it a go.

I haven’t fully caught up with the dine thread, but if it hasn’t been posted let me share with y’all the new (to me at least, still grumpy I can’t find KO Spanish).

KO sardines in white wine vinegar and capers.

They are as good as you’d imagine, not very fishy at all, and nice cut from the vinegar. The style label is blue.

No hot sauce?

Honestly I bet a nice fresh herb pesto (basil, parsley, dill, etc.) would go well. Or a pepper jam. Or capers and pickled onions.

Like others said, some extra flavor goodies will go a long way.

No pics but I made a grilled cheese/tuna melt using Starkist Tuna Creations Hickory Smoked tuna, leftover Taco Bell fire sauce, fresh parsley & spring onion, and shredded cheese on homemade keto rosemary & sea salt bread. It's fun throwing random poo poo together!

I added some crystal hot sauce which helped, but it was still bland.

Next time I'll mix the sardines and cream cheese together, make a smear out of it, then season that.

Made the sardine pasta from this thread a couple months ago and didn't have breadcrumbs so left them out of the recipe. It was not very good.

Decided to make it again last night because I had breadcrumbs and wanted something fishy. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. Thanks thread.

The recipe on KO website is probably fine, but doesn't seem to me like an authentic pasta chi sardi. For starters, fennel is integral, fresh ideally but seeds will do in a pinch, as are raisins, toasted pine nuts and anchovies. Yep, choves and dines, baby. I like to enrich the base with a bit of tomato paste too. But I also never add any kind of lemon or basil so this might just be something completely different. Spaghetti or fettuccini are fine but bucatini is the real poo poo.

A very good recipe, all you need is old bread, a couple of cans of sardines and a few pantry staples. Made this tonight, A++ would nosh again

Pasta With Sardines, Bread Crumbs and Capers
Salt
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup bread crumbs, ideally made from stale bread
1 onion, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound long pasta, like perciatelli
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 cans sardines packed in extra virgin olive oil (about 1/2 pound)
½ cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish

PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put half the oil (2 tablespoons) in a medium skillet over medium heat. When it’s hot, add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, less than 5 minutes, and then remove. Add the remaining oil and the onion to the pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until just tender; drain, reserving some of the cooking liquid. Turn the heat under the onions to medium-high and add the lemon zest, capers and sardines; cook, stirring occasionally, until just heated through, about 2 minutes.
Add the pasta to the sardine mixture and toss well to combine. Add the parsley, most of the bread crumbs and some reserved water, if necessary, to moisten. Taste and adjust seasoning, garnishing with more parsley and bread crumbs.

Octopus Post -

Just bought an Octopus at Whole Foods. Anyone with good recipes for it? I was probably going to pan fry it, olive oil it with some salt and red chili flakes. Keep it simple. I just watched a few videos, but I'm a bit nervous Ill over cook it and I'll come out too rubbery.

It's sort of like kimchi, but made by people who live in the South.

just finished eating some of the canned mackerel I seasoned up and let marinate in the fridge for a day or two. I ate it on rye, with a little mayonnaise and a pickle. I am really coming to appreciate dill as a seasoning. the dill/garlic combination particularly, I've eaten a bunch of garlic dill flavored things in my life but I never really stopped to contemplate how much the two flavors compliment each other. I think a lot of my not really getting it comes from the fact that dill is a much stronger flavoring agent than I think most people realize, it works better as a compliment or an enhancer.

I took a tin of sardines and a tin of anchovies and mash up both into a paste inside their tins. I then took three avocados and mashed them into a paste. I mixed the fish pastes with the avocado paste to make a fish guacamole.

I may have gone too far

Quick pickled onions. At their most basic you can just thinly slice an onion and submerge it in vinegar for a few hours, or you can make a proper brine which is honestly about as easy.

You can pickle that. You can go full dad and pickle some eggs (delicious). Food52 has a completely insane repository of quick pickle recipes with everything from cucumbers to kale and some really weird poo poo in between I would never have thought to soak in brine.

I figured shallots could take a quick pickle well, just haven't tried it.

2020 is when I upped my pickling game with making homemade kimchi. I may splurge on a crock to make legit kosher dill pickles.

Kimchi has also been one of my 2020 hobbies. Thinking about going for sauerkraut next. Takes 3-6 weeks to ferment it, though.

I usually at hot pickled jalapeños to any tinnned fish I eat. Nice tang and crunchiness goes drat well with it.

Ehh I usually look for like a cut-in-half nappa cabbage. Or just a smaller one. This depends entirely on the market you're going to. I know I can usually find the half ones at Japanese markets.
