someone in the last thead said to get these:
http://www.amazon.com/Mackerel-Fillets-Tom-Yum-Sauce/dp/B00HV3K6IK/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1450476992&sr=1-1

and they were loving tasty but now there are no more @ amazon.

nice and meaty fillets with a tasty spicy sauce that I kinda wanted to drink right out of the tin afterwards but I was vaguely scared of heavy metal poisoning because it came from china so i didnt, this was likely a mistake.

I had fisherman's eggs and miso soup for dinner twice last week. I know it's theoretically a breakfast thing but I roll out of bed about 10 minutes before I should be out the door so I don't have time to bake anything.

Anyway it's a tasty and filling dinner and takes very little prep. A+ will eat again probably semi-weekly for the rest of my life. maybe less if I find a lady friend that doesn't want me to have garlicky sardine breath when we make sweet love every night but I dunno it might be a dealbreaker.

~~Fisherman's Eggs~~

Preheat oven with oven proof dish inside to degrees. Into the heated dish place a can of sardines, a small sliced shallot some parsley (like two trees chopped up) and two chopped cloves of garlic, some pepper. 6 minutes.

Remove the dish and put four eggs in, season. 7 minutes.

Remove and let sit for 5 minutes. Serve (with toast and hot sauce).

http://thingsmybellylikes.com/2013/03/25/fishermans-eggs/ says 375 but I think there's some sort of dadfight about it going on. maybe because that recipe says to use a white onion but the proper way uses a shallot? i dunno

also I use 3 eggs because 4 eggs is just too many egg

I always call it a tin because saying I ate a can of something makes me feel low-rent. Sardines have more dignity than that.

Okay I guess there might be some handmade arsenal small batch organic pickles made by a virgin monk under a waterfall that are better than claussen but basically i'm just saying if anyone goes to a regular grocery store and comes out with vlassic they should get that crap slapped out of their hand and then have their face rubbed in the broken glass and brine like a dog who pooped somewhere inappropriate. This is also true of beach cliff sardines.

Chicken of the sea one dollar per. I got a couple as backup for fisherman's eggs because I mash 'em all up anyway so it's not that big of a difference but it felt really weird putting them on the same shelf as the rack of KO's.

When I put sardines in soup I sometimes try to take out the bones. :ohdear:

I feel like I'm a failure every time and the bones don't bother me when I'm eating them on a cracker or a sandwich or in fisherman's eggs usually but when it's in soup the vertebra separate out and it's just a little piece of grit mixed in there and kind of bleah. I'm sorry, thread.

Oh, I forgot to review riga gold.

they're good. Smokier than KO's and maybe a tiny bit mushier but nbd. Smaller too. Only real problem I have with them is that they're packed in straight vegetable oil which has no real flavor itself so they're not as good for just snacking from the tin, but I made some fisherman's eggs and the spinach soup and both were drat tasty. A+ will buy again when my larder is low.

Also, just ordered a pack of 12 of these to try off Amazon:


these are my go-to's for fisherman's eggs at the moment. KO's (jalapeno or mediterranean) for snacking on triscuits and chicken of the sea for throw in soup (they're bigger so the spines are easier to get out) / other cooking. Note that the riga tins are 5.6 oz so they're more bang for your sardine buck.

Ordered another 25 tins of Rigas from amazon. Even with non-prime shipping they comes to just under 2 bucks a tin and they're 5.6 OZ each as opposed to KO's $2.75ish per 3.75 OZ. KO's are tastier and have better oil but c'mon.

Also I didn't realize canned sardines last for such a long time. The expiration date on my tin was 2020.

This is important because it means you can justify buying any number of sardines. They will be very valuable after whatever apocalypse scenario you subscribe to or alternatively at some other point before then when you are hungry.

I got an instant pot pressure cooker because you can use it as a rice cooker or slow cooker too but I haven't yet. pressure cooking seems pretty dadly, though -- it could theoretically blow up and destroy your whole kitchen.

I have a toaster but I don't really buy bread ever so I haven't plugged it in for about four years.

hm. these appear to be some big honking sardines. must find fresh. https://washoku.guide/recipe/823305

also 12 minutes seems like way too much time, I think they will completely evaporate? iono.

also there are a bunch of recipies for spanish style preserved sardines around that use a pressure cooker. weekend project maybe? http://www.overseaspinoycooking.com/2009/12/bottled-bangus-or-tawilis-in-oil.html

been working on my shakshuka game. Have discovered that it's totally possible to make a big batch (sans eggs) on the weekend and freeze portions. Move from freezer to fridge before bed, then in AM reheat to simmer, add egg, eat before work. Recommend this. take too long to make fresh before work.

small skillet very cheap and perfect for this purpose, also works for fishman eggs. eat from pan. use plastic fork so not scratch seasoning.

oh huh, my momma always told me not to use metal on cast iron because the seasoning must be protected at all cost. I guess she might have done me wrong.

Now that I think of it, it might have been a metal spatula and not a fork.

Well, at least it's a real myth and not something my mom just made up.

my standard sardine delivery vehicle these days is a bowl of kimchi fried rice. it's easy af and you put a fried egg and a tin of sardines on top them mush 'em as much as you want.

this with frozen veggies + sardine has basically been getting me through quarantine.

Made with boneless skinless which I know is basically a crime but it's what I had and in soup the little vertebrae can just end up at the bottom of the bowl and aren't great.

Added like a teaspoon of cayenne paprika and some tomato paste cause I only had a tiny tomato

Served over ramen noodles (boil, drain, throw away salt packet) cause I didn't wanna make rice

Homemade chicken bone broth

Good as hell
