Does anyone know anything about eating Korean-style dried anchovies? I bought a bag of medium sized ones at H-Mart because I figured I could use them both for making stock and for snacking. Generally, I've seen online that the large ones are for stock and the tiny ones are better for snacking. I know for the large ones you are supposed to remove the heads and guts, but does that apply to the medium ones as well? The guts taste a little bit bitter but they don't bother me too much. I'm not sure if there's any health risks related to eating the guts.

Doubt it. Plankton eaters with short lives barely have time to build up nasty stuff in their system.

Ate a can of king oscar kippers in the house and my melodramtic 6 year old puked his banana complaining it was rotten. Turned out the smell from my delicious kippers ran over his tastebuds. He didnt even know what I was eating.

I have seen the way of the sardine and it is good.

I have learned things about the dine market: 1) Do not go to Safeway for dines if you want better than Bumblebee. 2) Grocery Outlet can be a dine goldmine. I found Wild Planet dines for $1.50 that were $3.50 at Safeway. 3) If you live in the Pacific Northwest, buy your KOs at Fred Meyer. They just had a sale with KO Mediterraneans for $2.39 and Tiny Tots for $2.97. I cleaned them out. 4) If Costco has dines, buy them.

Also, almost 110 pages and only one mention of boquerones? Pickled white anchovies are incredible and if you go to Spain and aren't eating like a kilo of them every day you are loving up bad.

TinyTots are not worth the extra money. Meds are where it's at.

According to the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, a properly-licensed person could harvest 25 pounds of sardines each day. Really makes you think of what could be.

I've caught big dines before to use as bait for salmon and ate the ones we didn't use.
Really really good but the bones need to be worked around when you just BBQ them.

This is a better idea than most goon projects, though I worry about it capsizing fifty feet from shore.

I was hoping that you would have a hot take on this since you actually catch fish and are in WA if I remember correctly. You use a type of net to catch small fish like dines and anchovies, right? My lack of boat access limits my fishing experience so I don't know poo poo about dick.

I've never netted fish. We would catch sardines with sabiki rigs once we found the birds diving on "meatballs".
Apparently there is very good squid fishing near me on the docks. Gonna have to try that out.

Other strong flavors prolly. Banana peppers, pepperoni.

I love fish and every once in a while I get a hankering for anchovy pizza. I order one and have one slice and that's more than enough. It's like having a cigar every 18 months or so. That's enough - not necessarily bad, but I don't want that again for a long time.

You gotta try a crab pizza.

In Spain (at least in Andalusia) they are in every tapas bar and restaurant, and you can buy them at grocery stores for nothing. If they didn't need to be refrigerated I'd import them by the case.

Basically what I'm trying to say is go to Spain and eat every fish that you can, canned or otherwise.

There's a dock near me that has plug ins and you aim a halogen light at the water. That kinda attracts them. Next you jig a lure in the water until you snag one. It's incredibly simple but does take a little practice.

When you bring it out of the water it squirts ink and water all over the place. Kinda cool.

Turn some sardines into a forcemeat and stuff fresh squid tubes with them then place the head back over it and bake to perfection.

How so? It's a very small animal crammed into a tin. How do you not expect bones and organs to end up in it?

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?

Every subforum should have a 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.
