I made fisherman's eggs with KOs. But then, also the temperature shock from cracking in eggs cracked my baking dish. :(

Still delicious.



Are you supposed to finish the eggs outside of the oven? Or cook the dines in the oven and then pull out the dish and finish the eggs only outside of the oven? Either way, apparently the dish also wasn't hot enough to cook the eggs so I had to put it back in for a few minutes.

You need some pyrex or corningware or their generic equivalent.

Can pyrex really handle being pre-heated to 500, having cool/room temperature dines thrown in, heated back up, cold eggs thrown in, and heated again? It seems like that's too much shock. But I'm not a materials scientist, what do I know?

Anchovy question: Are canned anchovies always salty/supposed to be enjoyed as is? Or are you supposed to rinse them or do something with them before you eat or cook with them?

I love me some fishies, and making pasta and salad dressing with salty anchovies and oil, but it always seems way too overpowering when you put them on pizza.

I got my KO taster's kit today with the Tapatio dines, and let me tell you they are excellent. (I've never had Tapatio sauce before).

I threw them in when I made migas tonight and it was the best thing.

My taster's kit also came with a lid to reseal a dines can, but who doesn't eat entire cans of dines?

Too lazy to make pasta. Fisherman's eggs dines we tonight. Will report back on dines quality.

On opening the can there were maybe 4-6 large dines with a more fishy smell than KO wild caught dines.

I gave my HEB the postcard from KO asking them to carry Tapatio dines and they looked at me funny and said, "We carry other KO products but not this particular one." And then they stared blankly at me when I explained that I know that, and I want them to carry more KO products.

Shrug. I've eaten a lot of raw egg stuff in the US. I just buy free range eggs.

Also, I don't recall my family putting beets or potatoes in our Solöga, but it's probably been at least 15 years since I last had it. I recall it being very salty.

Have you ever tried the Polar smoked brislings in olive oil? I really like Polar kippered herring, it's almost as good as KO and a nice occasional variation. KO kippered herring is still the best, imo. I like to use the Naturals (smoked but no added salt or flavoring) as the fish in a fish stew or chowder sometimes, it's excellent in recipes.

edit: fish porn :stare:

I found the smoked flavor of the Polars to be overpowering. Definitely not my favorite dines.

Maybe you could could ask a manager at your HEB about stocking them? I've never actually seen an HEB without a good selection of KOs/canned fishies in general. The only ones they always seem to lack are the Tapatio kind.

I got a KO taster kit of the Tapatio dines along with a post card to give to the manager to ask my local HEB to stock them. The manager just kind of looked at me like that wasn't a thing I could ask for, not could he possibly fulfill it. It was quite the letdown.

Oh drat I know what you can do with those 'chovies.

Cod-liver and Anchovie Pâté

No, seriously. Listen. Anchovies are basically sardine bacon, so treat them like that.

1/2 lb Cod Liver
1/4 lb Anchovies, chopped
3 fat cloves of garlic, crushed and minced
1/2 a small yellow onion, minced
2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped fine
2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped fine
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
Butter
Oil*

In a pan, put a little butter and start sauteeing the onion until it begins to caramelize. Then put in the garlic, thyme, rosemary, and pepper - continue to sautee until fragrant. Remove from heat.

In a food processor, put the cod liver, anchovies, and sautee'd onion and herbs. Lock down the lid and begin to pulse mixture.

While pulsing, drizzle in a little oil until it's the proper texture - a fine paste.

Use a spatula to transfer into whatever container you want to keep it in. Spread it on crackers, bagels, whatever. Enjoy.

(*) You can use whatever oil you want for this. You could even reserve the cod liver oil or the oil the anchovies are packed in. Olive or avacado oil would be good neutral flavors. Coconut oil would work well, but would create a firmer pâté texture when chilled.

How will this not be salty as gently caress? A 1/4 lbs of anchovies seems like it would be ridiculously salty unless the fat from the cod liver and sweetness from the onions somehow cuts it a lot???
