I always miss out on the KO promotions because I avoid Facebook Had Trader Joe's boneless/skinless mackerel and I almost like it as much as their smoked trout. I was expecting it to be super fishy and oily but it was very tasty My neighborhood QFC supermarket has a shameful sardine section

Something simple like nice greens with diced shallot and a mustard vinaigrette with dines would be good. Avocado in there too?

Used a tin of Seasons in olive oil last night to put into pasta. Pros Tin was densely packed Mild flavor Cons Fish were so densely packed it was hard to get them out of the tin Hard to open tin without splattering oil all over Kinda bland - like high end canned tuna

Isn't it supposed to be bad to eat eels? Like they can't be farmed and they're getting overfished?

Smythe posted:followed up those EXCELLENT dines with some Bumblee Dines i got at the Jons market, which usualyl has good Dine selection, alas, the Bumblebee brand Dines are pretty bad. Sludgy and mostly flavorless. The one perk they have is they retain that silvery color of the original Dine, but they have bad texture. Overall an inferior Dine experience. Bumblebees in mustard are pretty decent bargain sardines Treat yourself to a tin of Bela sardines someday - toasted baguette rounds with hot sauce and/or guacamole

I posted this in the old thread but I was talking about sardines with an old man at my neighborhood bar. I showed him the tin of Belas that I'd just bought and he said "Oh the hell with that man, KING OSCARS!" The next time I came in he gave me a tin of dollar store sardines. They were really good I tried to reciprocate and brought him a tin of Seasons the next time and he refused my offer. "Nah, I don't want that stuff"

evilmiera posted:Strangely, despite being a Swede, we have no real access to King Oscar here. We have Gustaf instead, tho only in tomato sauce. It is kind of mindboggling that the two different brands are apparently a thing, given how the Oscar in question was also a Swedish king. You have hákarl and surströmming for your fish eating needs

I had Beach Cliff in soybean oil as my introduction to sardines and man that was a bad idea. Fishy but nasty. Need those sauces if you’re getting cheap sardines. Or if you’re a wuss like me I loved Bumblebees in mustard but can’t find them in any store close by Bought a can of Belas in olive oil after the Beach Cliffs and learned you can’t cheap out

A FUCKIN CANARY!! posted:There were definitely people claiming that you needed your oven as hot as it could possibly go to. I typically add onion, celery, tomato, and garlic, then bake at 375F for around 15 minutes. The last time I made it I added some bits of smoked sausage and it was good. Yeah it’s not complicated If you are able to sweat the onions and get your garlic smelling good you don’t need a furnace to finish it off

When I look for smoked fish recipes, they almost all go to salmon first. That's not a bad thing per se (I live in the Pacific Northwest so smoked salmon is a common thing) but I was wondering what other fishes were known for being smoked/is available for me to try this out. Trout
