Had been reading up on the health benefits of sardines, and struggled through the first few. This sub gave me some ideas, and now it's one of my favorite meals! Here's my Sunday lunch, with some home made herb crackers and pickled red onions. The difference in quality from brand to brand is amazing, and King Oscar and Seasons are my favorite so far. I am Team Deen now! (And that Vader Truffle Hot Sauce is stellar)

Fishwife with preserved lemon, minerva w/ lemon, fresh halibut...

The fishwife (8.49) was decent. Lemon was subtle, too subtle. The Minerva (4.99) was passable, lemon flavor was virtually nonexistent. Texture is good on both, fishwife was a bit better.

The fresh halibut was the bomb.

What fast food would sardines pair best with?

I was thinking about keeping a couple tins in my car for road trips and then I thought about adding them to a Taco Bell taco and wasn’t sure…. So yeah, title question what do you fish heads think?

How did you get started?

It seems many people come to try canned fish and say something along the lines of "I've been missing out." Canned fish have a pretty weird reputation in the mainstream as this nasty thing no one likes, with folks I talk to in person cracking jokes about it being cat food. So in spite of all of that, what made you crack your first tin and try it out?

For me I was caring for a sickly cat and heard the smell of sardines was strong enough to stimulate a cat's appetite. Unfortunately proved the haters right--she loved it, but she didn't finish the whole can. I didn't know how to store it so I ate the rest and found myself weirdly charmed by it. I got some better quality ones, then branched out to kipper snacks, then smoked oysters, then sprats... Now I'm here!

Matiz at Costco in Canada!!!

All I’ve had for so long is cloverleaf bristling sardines, and Brunswick, everything else is unavailable and super expensive on Amazon (For example, a single tin of Matiz costs $30CAD on Amazon) and I pretty much considered King Oscar premium

I decided to check the sardines section at Costco (like I always do) Knowing there’d be nothing there yet again

But then I saw it

The yellow boxes of Matiz lemon flavoured sardines in the canned fish isle, 6 for $15

I freaked out

I only bought one just to make sure I like it and oh my god, it’s so good, I’m in love

I’m going back to buy so many more I’m so happy!!! You have no idea how long I’ve been searching for any other sardines, there’s literally nothing here

Phoenicia haul

Ok, so the wife agreed to my haul as long as she could try out their RTE okra in a can. I focused on fish in OO. After this, I may start tomato sauce and spicy varieties. Let me know what you guys think. Some of these showed from Thailand, hopefully there are some euro ones...

Canned calamari

I've recently picked up some canned calamari (Conchita) and seaweed pearls, but I'm not exactly sure what to eat them with. I've gotten a bit of insight from customers who come in and buy it, and I like fried or pan seared octopus already so I'm sure it can't be that terrible. Any pairing ideas? I have sesame crackers as well.

New brand

Has anyone tried this brand? I haven’t seen it before but they look tasty from the packaging.
