Instant winner but with 7 mussels you’re left yearning for more!
I picked these up because they were 50% off and my friends are doing a food competition with the theme of canned meat, any and all ideas welcome.
What are we even doing here? Snacking deenz!
Hey! I’d like to get some nice and kind of out there tinned fish as a gift, but I don’t really know much about it. I’d like to spend somewhere under $40 if anyone has suggestions. Thanks!
I'd rather spend the $20 on deens, so I left it there. But I thought I should let you all know. Meeting adjourned 🫡
I’ve been eating deenz my whole life. KO’s, seasons, matiz, bumble bee and so on. Just went to Whole Foods and spotted these along with the lemon ones. Ate the can as soon as I got home and I must say they were fantastic. On a TJ’s organic na’an cracker with some Tapatio for extra heat soooo good.
i see a lot of posts about people weary of cans not being safe to eat from. Theres only one thing you need to do to check, just press on the lid and if it pops that means the can is already open, but if it doesnt pop or give in then its all good
Fishwife smoked mackerel with chili oil on Ritz crackers with a slice of homemade pickled beets or a dollop of Haven’s Yuzu aioli. Both combos delicious. The mackerel has a hint of caramelized sweetness.
I’m reading Jhumpa Lahiri’s “Interpreter of Maladies”. The book is a collection of short stories. This morning I was reading a story called “Mrs. Sen’s,” about a woman from Calcutta who lives in New England in America with her husband who teaches mathematics at a university. It talks about how much people like fish in Calcutta. It says, “Mrs. Sen said she had grown up eating fish twice a day. She added that in Calcutta people ate fish first thing in the morning, last thing before bed, as a snack after school if they were lucky. They ate the tail, the eggs, even the head. It was available in any market, at any hour, from dawn until midnight.” A couple of paragraphs later it says, “One day she made a stew with green beans and tinned sardines.” I was intrigued by their fish eating habits and then I started wondering whether I could find a recipe for Indian Green Bean and Tinned Sardine Stew. I haven’t found one yet but I love sardines and mackerel in curry. It’s a long shot but does anyone have a recipe for Indian Green Bean and Tinned Sardine Stew?
Not really a review because it's the first time I've tried canned sardines, but they absolutely slap.
One thing I noticed is that they have a very pungent aroma reminiscent of cat food (unflattering but it's true), but once you get past that they taste amazing. I tried them on crackers but I actually prefer just eating them straight out of the can. I thought that the bones and spine would ick me out a lot but they didn't at all, they're honestly hardly noticeable.
9/10, I'm now on the 'deen train.
Seriously hooked. One of my new favorite quick snacks. Dip the sandwiches in the olive oil for a little extra succulence. Simple and delicious. Highly recommend.
Just tried a can of sardines today and my life has changed forever. I’m looking to buy a few different styles to try, and was wondering if the regular non filleted sardines come with heads and guts in them? The one I tried today was fillets in a can. I’m not really interested in eating sardine brains and eyes 🤣 also, are the sardines in tomato sauce as good as they sound?
Not going to lie, I was pretty crushed when I opened this up. Not enough to not eat it and enjoy it, but still
