Fish addiction: an Ancient Greek paranoia

Not bad for a quick fix with leftover rice.  Texture was a bit dry and not much smoke flavor ( which I prefer) but for $5+ pretty decent protein meal for the price point.

M&S sardines in olive oil and chili

Never heard of a Dace before now, but a quick search said it makes am easy meal with rice. Added some spinach to it too, but otherwise, i cannot deny how tasty and easy a meal Dace is! Very smokey and salty with a flavour profile I'd call comparable to jerky, give it a go!

New fishy finds- absolutely LOVE the discovery of Fried Dace!

Since many people engaged with my previous post, I didn’t want to leave you hanging and not give you a review.

Our final pick was Nuri sardines in spicy olive oil, Lucas Petingas in Escabeche and Espinaler Scallops in Galician salsa. On the picture the scallops are on the top, then come the deens and at the bottom are the petingas. 

I’ll start with the least controversial one - Nuri, great taste as usual, price is always the best (3,79 for a can where I live), you can get them in any grocery store. I personally find them a bit bland, but that’s what the condiments are there for! Just sad that the spicy oil doesn’t have a kick at all. But the deens always serve their purpose and come through!

I LOVED THE LUCAS PETINGAS!!!  The escabeche was delicious and also the consistency was great! The fish itself reminded me of sprats, which I grew up eating and love till this day. 4,90 is a fair price and will definitely buy them again and stock up!!!

And now come the scallops - that was quite funny to be honest. I tried them first, the sauce was great, the scallops were scalloping and I really enjoyed it so that hyped up my partner, so he took a huge portion and… HATED IT! He actually almost didn’t even finish the bite. He also tried the sauce by itself, but nope, didn’t work. When it comes to fresh seafood, I love mussels, scallops, oyster - everything and tbh he’s not the biggest fan so that must be the issue. It’s quite interesting how different tastes can be. To be fair, one can of the scallops was enough for me, because it was pungent, but in a good way! For 8,90 it’s on the pricier side to be honest, so will only buy for guests that are scallop connoisseurs. 

Since we didn’t finish all the sides, we’re doing another round today - trying the infamous and hated PEPUS brand (stuffed baby squid).. Maybe this my partner will love since he hated the good stuff? We’ll see…

Update & review of the first canned fish date night!

Hello, I discovered sardins recently and have been enjoying them. Especially brisling sardines like king oscar. I was thinking about how they are manufactured. Are they gutted? If so how?

Miss Can Stuffed Squids Portuguese Style over Bulghur-Vermicelli with Tin Oil Chimichurri-Marinated Chickpeas and Arugula dressed with Olive oil and Datu Puti Spiced Vinegar

I’m not going to call four cans a “haul”. But I’m excited to try a couple of new things and also snag something I tried before and liked. I would say the prices were comparable to what I saw at H Mart, which kind of surprised me due to the fact that it’s a much smaller shop. (It’s more like a nicely stocked convenience store.)

But I’m particularly excited by the round tin, which is sardines in miso.

The selection of canned fish at this location (the other is on Burnet) was small but there was more than this. In my defense I was trying to stick to a budget and I got more than just cans of fish. (Please forgive me.)

Canned fishies from Asahi Imports (S Lamar) Austin, TX

I’ve seen mixed reviews on this brand but figured I’d try em out for myself. $10 a can seems a bit pricy though.

Trying these

Good ol pasta with tuna - I added peas and broccoli to bulk it up and used the olive oil plus more so it wasn’t dry. Been incorporating a lot more tinned fish and this was tonight’s meal! This tuna is flavorful and has good texture. I would eat it alone but needed to feed the fam! Paired it with a side Caesar salad.

Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil

First time having anchovies that weren’t salt cured!  On the surface, these appear similar to sardines but have a different flavor…less fatty maybe?  The flavor is a bit sharper than sardines and sort of hits you in the front of the mouth.

I liked these a lot, but wouldn’t want to have them every day like I do sardines…the lemon is suuuupper light on my tongue, but I definitely pick up the added olive flavor in the oil.  The sardines themselves are very firm and don’t fall apart easily.  I liked the combo of crispbread, olives from the can, hot sauce, and the chovies.

There were about 10 fish in the can.  They’re a lot longer and thinner than sardines.  I don’t have a lot to say about these.  They were expensive, $8 a tin.  I’m excited to try the garlic version some day.

7.1 out of 10.

New Haul

King Oscar canned salmon (in olive oil and lemon) and avocado on toast

Picked up a can of Gonsalves from a local Portuguese bakery, two towns over from where I live. Normally I'm a beach cliff and/or chicken of the sea guy, but I wanted to expand my sardine pallet. Nice big solid pieces, not mushy, and pleasant tasting. A happy purchase. Has anyone here tried this one?

Gonsalves

My last post got me craving whelk and thankfully I had a can left. And here it is, goelbangi muchim with noodles! Basically what Maangchi made but with a few extra ingredients: some of the brine from the can, dashi powder, and smoked oyster (pictured here). 

Let me tell y’all that the smoked oyster took it to a new level.

I bought a tin of Cole's Smoked Salmon last week. Finally got hungry enough to open it, Wow! This is good stuff, I'm having it straight out of the can on whole wheat crackers. Good stuff, Maynard!

Where to buy sardines in Alabama?

Apologies in advance for the wonky pix - Jimmy’s is always crowded and the jerk photographer was standing in what is apparently the check out line, dodging customers. I’m fast, but not fast enough for these shoppers 🤣

Really enjoying trying different brands and flavors of canned sardines. Curious if there were any more food groups or types that kindof have the same vibe. What about sweeter things or desserts?
