I'm making a sardine pizza.

I'd like to peep a pic of this, if you can

Sure, I was trying to emulate the sardine spaghetti, but a pizza instead.





Crust: regular pizza dough, fermented in the fridge for a couple of days

Sauce: extra virgin olive oil, a few cloves of minced garlic, fresh basil, oregeno, red pepper flakes, and dill all stirred together

cheese: equal amounts parmesan and colby jack

toppings: diced onion, can of sardines (drained), a bunch of capers. you could probably use the oil from the can in place of the oil in the sauce if you want.

It's really good and I'll probably make one again in the future.

From experience: they're going to drip a lot of oil. You're gonna have to adjust the crust density and cooking time/temp to make up for it. If you don't, you're gonna have it dripping right through the pizza which will make a hole when you lift it.

It was a little more oily than usual but I didn't have to change anything from my regular pizza recipe. did drip a little oil on the floor of the oven though. crust integrity was fine

Pizza dough is really easy to make. I make mine in a stand mixer but a food processor does a good job too if you don't want to do it by hand.

If it's not too much, sharing your recipe would be great. After all, dough is "I mixed basic items then added LIVING CREATURES WHICH I THEN COOKED ALIVE AND ATE", so it's pretty dad-qualifying.

I don't use a recipe really, I just eyeball it. Put a spoon (just a spoon i eat with) full of yeast in a bowl or mixer, add a like half a spoon of sugar or honey, add some salt shakes, add roughly a cup of warm water and add a few glugs of olive oil. Add ~1.5 cups of flour and start stirring/mixing. Then I incorporate more flour as I go until it feels like a nice dough. Rub or brush some olive oil on it and let rise in a loosely covered bowl for an hour or two in a warm place. I put mine inside my microwave because it's always a little warm inside it. At this point you could stretch the dough and make a pizza, but I punch it down and stick in the fridge overnight. If you leave it for a few days in the fridge, it tastes better.

To cook it I put a cast iron pan upside down in my oven to use as a pizza stone. Preheat to 500. Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper and stretch the dough on it. Then I assemble the pizza and bake it right on the parchment. Just hold the sides of the paper and set the pizza gently on the upside down pan. The paper gets pretty brown in the oven but it makes it easy to move the pizza around. Bake it for 8 - 10 minutes and use the parchment to slide it onto a cooling rack. Done. Baking weakens the parchment in my experience so be careful using it to move the pizza too much after it cooks.


This recipe is fine if you absolutely need to measure it though.

Found a real score today. Fresh dines at the seafood shop. Going to grill them tomorrow. I was thinking skewers, brush with olive oil and salt and pepper. But I'm open to other techniques. Making some steamed clams with garlic butter on side.

Grill them like you want but marinate them for like 30 mins in this: olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed garlic, lemon juice (and some lemon zest if you're feeling frisky). Some finely chopped fresh rosemary thrown there in might be good too.

I read somewhere to throw the rosemary right on the coals as soon as you start grillin. New technique I think I'll try.

That sounds really good, report back how it works. Chili flakes would be a fine addition too, or maybe a little cayenne.

Couldn't find suitable sardines so I got some sort of Japanese smelt.





They're like all roe inside and pretty fishy, but not bad. They seemed like they would be pretty good deep fried.

Looks great! Did you gut them or just go at them whole? We used to do smelt runs in Northern Michigan and do a quick gutting, and deep fry. They were basically fish french fries.

I grilled and ate them whole. No problems from not gutting them.

I have to say that for the really cheap dines that Bumblebee is much better than Chicken of the Sea. I'll only get Chicken of the Sea if they are all the store carries.

I have the exact opposite experience. I got a bumblebee can once that smelled bad enough to make me gag but have enjoyed all the chicken of the sea cans I've bought.

Well how did it go?

Pretty good. The tentacles and beak are pretty easy to remove. I slide a knife up the mantle and split it open, then scraped out the guts. The cartilage thing in there comes out pretty easy too. I didn't remove the skin. Should I? I saw that it's edible but some people remove it. I'm gonna marinate the pieces in some soy sauce and fry and or grill some tomorrow.

Update: Pretty good, didn't grill any because it was dark out so I fried all the pieces. The tentacles are best because you get a gradient of fried crispiness down the length of the tentacle.

Maybe get a smoked variety if you want less intense fish flavor. The smoke overpowers it in some cases and still can taste pretty good.

I used a grinding wheel once to flatten out the inside of a very rough sand cast iron pan and it turned out fine. You can't really gently caress it up in a way that is unrepairable unless you make a hole in it or something
