So I invented a Sardine recipe today. Today was a "gently caress this, I'm not going shopping I'll make some poo poo outta what I got" day. Here's what I did. --Preheated the oven to 425 --Cut a perfectly ripe avocado in half and took out the pit --Spooned out a bit of each pit hole to make it more or less parabolic across the length and width. I put the stuff I scooped out into a bowl. --Into that same bowl I put some goat cheese, some roughly chopped up sardines, some Chow-chow, salt and pepper, a little olive oil, and a small squeeze of lemon juice. --Loosely mixed up the contents of the bowl and put equal parts into the avocado halves, topping with a bit more goat cheese. --Put the avocado halves into a small oven-safe dish and put in the oven for 10 minutes. --Served on a plate with some toast and spooned out the avocados and their stuffing onto the toast. It was really good. 10 minutes in the oven was enough to get the avocado just a bit warm, but not hot or bitter and I saw no browning. The warmth made the avocado flesh nice and silky.

My town got a Lucky's Market recently and browsing through there just last night I saw a few flavors of the Bela brand that a lot of you seem to like. I bought and used some of the tomato sauce ones and holy poo poo these are great. KO isn't bad, but its owned by Bumble Bee so I question their provenance. The Belas are bigger, fuller, and seemingly firmer while still being very tender. The flavor is rich while still being fresh-tasting. These are the best Sardines I've ever eaten! I have noticed I can buy 12-packs of these off Amazon for much cheaper and that's what I'll probably do. But it's nice to know they are within arm's reach if I have a Sardine emergency.

The two men are being held until such time as they either forfeit there ill gotten catch or pay for the tax.

The whole car reeked!"

I've gotten festively plump over the holidays, no complaints, but it's time to do something about it! One of the reasons I love oily fish is that they sort of feel rich in your stomach, but are effectively so much less rich than anything else that feels the same way.

I just read a recipe for anchovy butter. It's basically just grind up the 'chovys in a mortar and pestle, combine with softened (but not melted) butter, push the whole thing through a sieve, store in small air0tight containers, re-refrigerate to set. I gotta try this.

He reviews the '99 KOs and gives them 5/5. I gotta think the heavy metallic taste is due to, well, heavy metals. This tin did originate from Yugoslavia in 1968, after all.

Mackerel is an awesome fish and totally underrated. I live on the Atlantic in the SE of the US and I know a few salty old fisherdudes that run sports fishing charters. They catch ample and huge mackerels (sometimes even weighing up to 15-20 pounds) casually and the people on the charter never want to take the mackerel home. I have been the benefactor of nice clean and fresh mackerel filets on many different occasions. It's become one of my favorite fish. It's robust enough that it can stand up to lots of different cooking preparations, yet when fresh it still has a nice delicacy to it. It's a great sushi fish, as well.

Just so you guys know, Alshark Moroccan Sardines in Spicy Oil are totally legit, and probably my new favorites. There were 4 fish in the can and they were the plumpest and firmest I've ever had. The smell as I opened the tin was sublime, a nice super-fresh fish smell, and a hint of smoke and spice. That fresh-fish smell persisted on the palate as well as the light smoke. The spice was almost unnoticeable upon first bite, but after a few more bites it was a pleasant, flavorful tingle on my tongue. What I like about the spiciness is that it's definitely there and will scratch that itch for sardines and Tobasco. However, if you wanted to ramp up the spice you could add more heat and the robust nature of the fish would stand up, no problem. I can't tell you which was more remarkable, the amazing freshness of the smell and taste or the amazing firmness of the fish. These things don't seem to be easy to come by. Luckily, there's a little Moroccan Deli in my town run by a very nice Moroccan couple. They cost me $3 a tin, which at that quality level I'm going to go ahead and say they are a stellar value. You can find them online pretty cheap (make sure to check shipping charges, though). I'm going to keep buying them at the deli because I like supporting those people, but if you can't find them locally, buy them online for next to nothing!

Male Tears posted:Not exactly cheap given that the shipping for 2 tins is $11.32. Holy poo poo, thanks for catching that. The store is in Connecticut so I thought shipping to the US would be cheap, but I just checked and shipping to GA where I live is $12.81 for two tins by the cheapest method. That's loving absurd! I'm going to edit that link out since that site seems to be scammy.

There was a Dirty Jobs episode where Mike Roe went to a Salmon Farm. He helped empty a dirty run of the Salmon, then rather than clean the lovely water, they just dumped a bunch of Tilapia in there to eat up all the Salmon poo poo.

Uhhh, I think the question is why in god's name did you come to the conclusion that there were no more US canneries? I have a serious question relating to 'dines. What sort of cracker? I've tried a few brands from my local grocery store, but they either taste like sawdust or are basically sawdust. I need a cracker with some structural integrity! Any suggestions.

See, I understand that crackers are supposed to only lend a little flavor to things. It's the structural integrity I have a problem with. It's like particulate furniture vs wood plank furniture. Bad crackers are all mealy and crumbly and they can't absorb poo poo because they're kind of like compressed sand. I need something that will stand up for itself!

Sardine-salad sandwiches are indeed much, much superior to tunafish and there's more fun poo poo you can do to keep it fresh. I did a kimchi and dine sandwich on a baguette not long ago and it owned.

They seem like a straight rebranding of KOs to me. Though lord knows why. Maybe the Canadians are still mad about that one Viking fishing village that was abandoned long before Canada was even thought of as a thing.

So a thought occurred to me. Since I can get Alshark Moroccan Sardines in Spicy Oil and they seem not too easy to find on the internet and since sardines and gourmet canned foods in general seem oddly regionally distributed, I thought about maybe making a Google Sheet that we could fill out with what we want and what's available to us. That way if you want to make an exchange with another dadgoon, you can. Any interest in this? As I said, I have no problem setting up the sheet. The exchanges themselves would have to be organized goon to goon, though. EDIT: Personally I would like to see exchanges that are considered equal by both parties and no money changes hands. You guys can do whatever you want, I guess. But it would seem better off in SA-Mart if that's what you want to do. Again, I'd rather just steer clear of it.

Sheep-Goats posted:I think it would be good if the way you requested dines from someone is you mailed them dines without asking and then they went "oh man gotta mail back some deens" but that would involve publicly sharing addresses so I think keeping it to "I have this, pm me, we can exchange fish" is fine I agree insofar as the nature of the exchange should just be ad hoc. If you want to give away dines, go ahead. If you want to exchange dines, do it. If you want to buy or sell dines, that's okay just remember that buyer beware. The sheet is just a way to find people with dines and people in need of dines and to be able to contact them. The rest is up to you. Anyway,  here is the link to the sheet. I'm going to continue working on it, but it's pretty self-explanatory for now. I put in just the brands I've seen around my area, so feel free to add your own brands to the far right. If you can't be bothered with formatting, that's fine, I'll try to clean it up as people add brands and types. Also, and I think this is important, try to think about whether or not anyone would want that brand of dines. Consider how widely available they are and if they are even any good. For reference, you may want to use the Mouth Full of Sardines blog.EDIT: It's conditionally formatted to make it easier to browse, so use the key.
