My paternal grandma (1894-1994) "loved" sardines.
My dad (1920-1981) "loved" sardines.
My paternal grandpa (1893-1973/WWI vet) would buy sardines for them, but absolutely "refused" to allow grandma or dad to open a can of sardines in the house! 🤣
About as close as I can get to sardines is the "Kipper Snacks" (kippered [whatever that is?] herring). Can't recall the brand, but I can recognize it when I see it.
My mom fed us "salmon croquets" quite often (actually canned mackerel) as kids. We fed our kids lot's of it.
Won't eat that canned crap today.
When I fished Alaska (Kodiak) and came home with salmon, the wife and me would marinate fillets overnight and grill them. Anything left over, we made salmon patties!
My mom would have blushed! Damn, those things are good! 😋
