Just that.

Hell yes.

Grocery Outlet (if they have them)

Polar Brand

Smoked Brisling Sardines.

Inexpensive and yummylicious.

Right.

Cat Food

Saltines for a perfect combo.

With a touch of Tabasco.
Mmmm

Butter bread, get all the mustard.

Not sardines, try the Polar salmon fillet.👍👍👍

Sometimes….but sometimes anchovies while other times herring works best or even squid. It really depends on what the fish are feeding on.

I'm a fan.

Thats nastyass farmed fish.

Skinless boneless sardines are where its at.

The big ones in tomato sauce in the 1-pound oval cans. The small ones are possum bait for a live catch trap!

King Oscar.

Extra Virgin Olive oil or mustard.

Crackers and a shake of Frank's Red Hit make it veddy gooda!!

Prefer smoked oysters.

I really like herring filets but eating eyeballs and gills stops me cold

Love to eat them.......hate to burp them up an hour later.

^^^^^

King Oscar is at the top in my book, also. Right from the can with crackers, or mashed up with mustard, pickle relish and hot sauce then spread on bread.

There's a brand of herring fillets that comes either in tomato sauce or a white wine and dill creamy sauce. Outstanding.

I had two cans yesterday for lunch. Excellent!

Love sardines, good for heart health! Can never find the small cans with tomato sauce though.

King Oscar Mediterranean Sardines are my favorite. I buy them by the case.

I like those in the oval cans with tomato sauce but can't find them in my area anymore. What store you buy them at?

skinless boneless sardines in water

In Louisiana hot sauce....

The ones packed in mustard or just in oil, have to have them with saltine crackers. This reminds me I have not had them in years, will put them on my deer camp packing list...Joe

Particularly good on a day where I want the Redhead to leave me alone.....

That's about all I can do for a tinned peel top fish snack.
The ones in hot sauces and mustard sauces.
And then once every 5 or 6 years if I get a strange craving for them.

I like em, my wife thinks they stink.

I like them in olive oil or with jalapeños.

good with hot sauce

I see that your taste in hors d'oeuvres is as good as your taste in music. Saltines for the win , nuthin' better.

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! 😋

I like them. best in olive oil liked cottonseed oil when they used it.

No thanks,i worked with a bunch of square heads that scarfed cans of them down at lunchtime.The smell put me off.

Ebay is your friend- - - -buy 'em by the case to cut down on shipping costs. Haven't tried the Goya brand yet, but they're considerably less expensive than other brands, and other Goya foods are very good quality.

Smell reminds me of when I forgot to wash out the bait well on my boat.

Great protein that fits in you wallet pocket, big fan here and you don't ever have to shave because nobody wants any!

I like the Beach Cliff brand. Big ones cut in half will cover a saltine cracker. Pour the oil off then douse them with malt vinegar. Good eatin’!

This sounds like it might be worth a try, Thanks.
Love the $hit outa MV on Fish n chips.

Always a few cans in the pantry. King Oscar brand usually.

Love them on toast !

Yes on the king Oscar

I just tried these based on your recommendation. Damned good stuff!

In oil or tomato sauce with raw onions and French bread.

Try some good ones from Portugal or Spain some time.

THIS!!!!!!! The best!

The SCHIZZZZZ............. !!!!!!!! 😋

No way

Ewww

I like these.They are tasty little minnows.

So many sardine and cracker combinations, so little time

There real head scratcher is choosing the appropriate libation to wash it down with......

I've narrowed it down to milwaukee's best, PBR, or Busch anything.....

Rugen Fisch smoked sprats.😋

Is that what your Mom serves you down in the basement?

My favorite! 👍👍

I believe a sardines in a can come from same country.. I learned rite here o the fire !

We get these at Costco and they're pretty good.

that an oyster are for cats

Yep.

Sardine+Cracker+Cheese+Frank's Red Hot= Pretty good.

Mmmm wow

Wild caught. Guess that’s all the difference to sway me.

Hey…they were not netted at the mouth of the sewage outfall!!!

Costco got crazy sale on ribs sardines and wine right now so I had to swoop…

When the horn blew my grandmother and all the other ladies in town went to the factory to pack sardines.
I remember when the boiler blew up when Port Clyde Packing burned down, my brothers and sisters and I were about 1/2 mile away watching from Marshal Point, it broke windows a mile away.

Kosher sardines in olive oil.... 😋🤩😍

Bullshit.


Fugging troll.

Love sardines on saltines. It's a long-held tradition at hunt camp. Going to try this:

Sardines ?

Oh hell yes.

kwg

How would you like to be the feller that descaled those?

The ‘Season’ brand is a favorite. Like them with brown mustard, sweet onion and rye bread.

Eat them straight out of the can and then do shots of the EVOO.

Sheesh.

Hold into the baited breath.

LMFAO!

Next thing we will see is Maggots in Olive Oil, the Brand "Microsoft" seasoned by Chef Bill Gates

That's why, in polite circles, sardines are called "sewer trout."

I just thought you'd like to know.

L.W.

If the smell isn't enought, there is always the texture and the taste.

Good coon bait!

Not a fan of guts and spine?

Owe me a keyboard!

I eat sardines every other day, alternating with herring.

(They are)

Good for you.

King Oscar mackerel is good too.

Not in the least.

Mm crunchy!!!

Like some old ass Boomer don't need some extra calcium.


Hey Mildred! They got 5 dollars off a case of Ensure at the HI Vee!

Im more of a Boost man myself but will chug an Ensure.

Life Savers

A box of club crackers, A jar of smooth Jiff and a couple cans of king Oscars make a meal

I just found some Mediterranean chicken of the sea mix I'm going to have to try that out I did that one yet

Or Latvia?

You folks aren't listening (reading?)

These are the bomb. 2 layer small ones like the best King Oscar ones. I was a fan of the King for years, now they're overpriced when I can get these which are essentially the same but less expensive.

Yes, two boxes of them, they're that good.



The Riga Gold ones one either side are really good too, either the round cans on the left or the oblong ones on the right. There's a box with those "boneless, skinless, in water" ones from the Costco there...............................they've been there a long time................nowhere near as tasty as the Polar or Riga Gold.

I hope I remember to get a can out for lunch tomorrow.................but.........................the wife just made a curry meatloaf tonight which we haven't even gotten into. It smelled wonderful while it baked.

Decisions, decisions.

Oh, that's not a picture. You're looking at the sardines there.Plastic lid is the only drawback I can see. Might not store for 10 years like a good can will.

Boneless fillets for my sensitive pallette. Costco on sale the other day....


Brunswick Golden Smoked herring is the real treasure from a can though. Thank me later.

Yes, those!

P..............................U..............................S.............................S......................................Y

Mine will fry the darn things!

Geno!

I got some polars in a glass Jar.


You want for me to send you one?

Yes, I like it too.

Hahaha!

That is uncharacteristic.

There may be a jar or two of them somewhere in that mess of canned goods there!

He's an OK dude





But a PPP...........UUU.........SSS............SSS..............YYY when it comes to sardines apparently.

Probably wouldn't eat gutted and fried smelt either.

Glass jars lend a nice air of sophistication.

My stash is running low.

Yeesh.

I just hope it don't taste like them "boneless, skinless, in water"....................................fish that have half the flavor removed in the processing.

I have a bag of smelts in the freezer somewhere.


An old woman on the Internet....RIP...had a recipe for smelts. I want to try it.


Cooking with Clara.

Kippers, eh?

Maybe, just maybe, you might be salvageable.

Easy peasy when they're fresh.

Dehead and pull the guts out Or, just pull the gills and guts out and leave the head.

Roll, dip or coat in your favorite batter/breading stuff.

Fry until golden brown.

Don't think I've ever pulled them out of the freezer to cook, shouldn't be too hard for an Eskimo fella to figure out how to deal with frozen fish though.

Smoked smelt from Grandpa and Grandma is a distant memory. I picked some up in Vancouver WA from an E European deli several moons ago. Didn't try prats.

I lost my love for bone in a couple years back when I opened a cheap cheap cheap Grocery Outlet can that'd been bouncing around in the truck for several seasons. Putrid mush....

I don't do mackerel either.

Yeah, I've had a few things from Spain that came in a nice glass jar.

Oh, I think I remember. I've got some of the Riga Gold ones in tomato sauce. Might even have a jar of their "bullheads" in sauce still. They weren't bad either

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffsb&q=Bullheads+in+tomato+sauce&ia=web

Goodness, that's rich!

The lesson there is not the bone..................

it's don't let them bounce around in the truck for............"several seasons"

But, I understand the complete turn off from something, once it happens there's no going back. I got that way with tequila/mescal/aquardiente a few years before I stopped drinking even. The smell would make me start to retch. Too much of a good thing I guess.

Anthony Bourdain had an episode in France maybe....sardines in oil.


Small, boutique product.


Provence or something.



We live like shīt compared to most of the world.

Pussy!


Hahahaha!

Blah blah blah

If you get sick off something....you gotta keep eating-drinking that thing.

Not showering is supposed to be very French.

You classy bastard you!

You telling me it's like falling off a horse?

That's what we're here for man.

NEVER let the booze or food win.

I even quit shaving my armpits.

Like I said! LOL

Dude,

it was even picture worthy!

Did you have your food box over the back axles on an empty set of doubles??? Looks like you went down to the local Ace Hdwr and strapped it in the paint shaker

OH, them were Polack sardines. Latvian or Spanish ones would have never done that.

You shouldn't have eaten that.

So, I went boneless skinless after seeing that.... I am convinced to try some higher grade stuff now though, Spanish maybe or that two layer stuff.

Canned peaches and a can of smoked oysters makes a meal btw....

Gnight.

Nuri.......................................nuri........................................nuri............................................nuri.

I think I'm done here too.

No old man nap today.

There is no universe in which mackerel can be considered food.

Smoked Roundheads here... and Tanner Blues.

Shark jerky in November/December.

Shrimp season starts soon. Oyster already in (but smoked/oiled oysters are nasty).

Nothing like the taste of a rotten sardine....

Did a bit of sampling last night….
The top two are from Costco and I feel are the best sardines on the market. Nice and firm and flavorful.

I bought some of the king Oscar as so many here recommend them as top tier but man I gotta say I was very disappointed.

Small fish, soft, mushy and fishy tasting

I wouldn’t eat them if they were free to be honest

Sam Olson nailed it. Perfect lunch or snack.
Sardines and saltines.

John, you'd not love, canned Jackmackerel.

Had some with crackers a couple of days ago.

Ya ain’t lived until you’ve had a genuine Scottish kipper, in Inveraray Argyll yet, on the shore of Loch Fine. Fattiest, most oily fish I ever ate.

Dunno where that photo is but here’s my present ration, two each week. All the way from Poland. I’ll be pi$$ed if Putin fuggs this up.

Small fish because you bought the can with small fish, says so right on the front of the wrapper.

The can I am eating now has firm little fishes. Yes small but I knew that from looking at the can. They make em in larger fish sizes with less per can.

Also, those others are boneless and skinless. May make a difference, dunno, never had boneless skinless minners.

I like them on crackers spread with jif peanut butter. Truck lunch

weird baby girl names

Bomb dot com

mexican cute boys

Part of this eves dinner.

I get these from the Dollar General store for $1 a can. I really like them. They make for a good afternoon snack.

kwg

10gauge you may be right on the size thing I never paid attention to that.. but size is farthest down on the list of parameters for me.

Texture and flavor were in the dumps and believe me I tried to like them

Those look delish !

Plus 1!!!!!

My wife and daughter were shopping Sunday afternoon.
My son and I needed a snack to get us to dinner.
We were out of saltines so these weird triangle crackers that were in the cupboard had to do. It did the trick.
Brand was Matiz. In oil with a pepper. Very good

Going to order some of these.

I don't get into the "city" much and our local doesn't have em for sure.

They are my favourite as well on toast.

We do contract work in the plant that makes those. It's only 1 hr from here in Black's Harbour. They are good and fresh with the boats unloading within 100yds of the plant.

The warehouse there is huge and full right up to the roof of pallets of those and sardines.

Crown Prince Herring fillets are my personal favorite, Wild Planet sardines are my backup

As well it should be!

Nice little virtue signaling you threw in there for your cult.

Tell them I said thank you.

One of the greatest canned products in the history of man.

They over fished the [bleep] out of these from 1970-1990.

What are "these"??

Small oily fish?

You are going to eat the olives and toss the sardines, correct? hehehe

Which "small oily fish"?

The discussion has brought in more than just sardines.

Just interested to know.

I eat these kippered herring filets occasionally. I can't take the salt like I used to, and these are low in sodium at 100mg (4% DV).

MW Polar Herring, Kipper Snacks, 3.53-Ounce (Pack of 18) https://a.co/d/hL383Zy

I love herring of the pickled variety. Schits incredible.

Remember the key

Think the old man may have a few beer keys laying around.

Richard those are the Chuck Grassley sardines, only good on election years

Small fish like sardines don't accumulate heavy metals and other toxins like large longer living fish.... true health food, enjoy

The King Oscar Skinless/Boneless in olive oil are the same thing as the Season brand. Same can, same country of origin, different box wrapper. Bumble Bee has the same ones as well, probably others not available here.

Yes, thats a good plant for sardines(Morocco). Polish plant sardines kinda suck cause there's no smoke and not much goes into the prep.

Every now and then the crunchy bone in ones are nice for a change up, I think they are Admirals.

I won't eat anything from Asia.

I love tinned seafood. I love dried seafood. As long as the quality is there, I'd happily survive on the stuff.

As another posted, many other nations from Asia to Europe and beyond have outstanding seafood tinned/other products. We keep a significant stash around always. Straight out of the can/bag, tossed on crackers, added to soups or ever better, served on rice or pasta and heated, whatever. I'll not be without a bunch in the house.

Mrs. KG has standing orders to bring back as much as she can carry from any place she travels to on business. Portugal and Spain have fantastic examples-- some seen below-- as do most any Euro nation. Excellent seafood products go far beyond sardines. Herring, tuna, salmon, crab, mackerel, anchovies, squid, oysters, clams, octopus and so much more. Packaged in oils, tomatoes, chili sauce, mustard, whatever. Food of the Gods.

These look good. I'll be on the lookout

Those are my favorite, too!

Ed

With all this talk of Sardines, I broke down and bought these made by a Canadian Company on the East Coast, and Man Were They Ever Delicious! Give them a try you will be pleasantly surprised!

Cheers ~

My favourite as well. They make'em just one hr down the road from here.

I found a sealed can of them in a lake in the Yukon during a fly-in hunt in 1998. A bear had torn the outfitter's camp apart looking for food. He missed getting his teeth into that can.

In a lake? lol Did you eat them,?

SuperCub, I can report that these sardines will be a staple in my home for years to come, they are that good :o)

Got these the udder day.

How much were the Herring? I paid $1.45 USD for the Sardines, as good as any canned Herring I have had!

Try these


StxHunter made a post about these a few weeks ago. Odered some on Amazon and they are the bomb. Really good!!

What store did they get those at?

Argentinian?

Which stock are you talking about?

I have no idea. I've never seen them before. But scrounging in the cupboard, there they were. Probably got them as a stocking stuffer last Christmas or something.

Dang bro, that's a really nice supply there.

I sure miss the dried cuttlefish I used to be able to find in the grocery store "Asian Food" aisle. Haven't seen it in so long, I may have to just start looking. Or have my sister look at the giant Asian market near her. Nothing like good cuttlefish jerky!

I will order some :o) Thanks Skankhunt42

UPDATE: $5.46 PER 3.78 OZ CAN............. I Will stick with the beautiful Smoked Sardines I found for <$2.00 per can lol

Longarm knows his scheidt.

Lunch the other day, a can of those Latvian sardines (1.5 servings, HA!) some Kalamata olives, pepperoncini, some decent Gruyere, and a slice of 15 grain bread from the nice bakery in the Big Town:

These with club crackers are my favorite

I did indeed eat those sardines on a sammich.

Those Brunswick kipper snacks are excellent as well but I doubt I'd pay that much for them. I buy them by the case when we work at the plant.

Haha I've been getting them for $2.31 (US) a can. They're showing unavailable now. Most of the Amazon places they're around 32 for a 12 pack. I probably wouldn't pay $3.00 a can for them but at $2.31 they're a bargain. They are close to 3 bucks at Walmart.

$2.89 a can here. always have a few cans in the pantry.

I buy the skinless, boneless, add garlic olive oil, salt and pepper and a cold beer on the side!

I like the Wal-Mart Brand(Great Value) especially the ones in Louisianna Hot sauce.

Tried the Beach Cliff and they are alright but fall apart just trying to get one out of the can.

I like sardines but prefer the kipper snacks. I think the smoked flavor is what I like about them.

Grabbed a can of king Oscar today for lunch.

I'll look for the Brunswick brand next time I'm at the store, I haven't had them for a long time. I'd be curious how they stack up to the king oscar.

Grew up in England eating Kippers on toast.... with a little vinegar.

The fresh smoked (not frozen) kippers are 2nd to none compared to any canned fish listed in this thread but are extremely hard to find away from the source.

We did some work on Grand Manan Island a few years ago on some of the public wharfs and were given some by the fellow there that looks after the wharfs. He smoked them himself. I warmed them on a pc of tinfoil on the grill and ate them with eggs and toast. ..... WOW.

when considering going down town on a strange snatch, I always recommend a 2 finger check. but if you eat sardines, all pu$$$ y is edible.

Everybody can see you are trying way too hard.

There used to be a diner in Dillon, MT where they served smoked trout with eggs for breakfast. It was exquisite. That's as close to real English breakfast kippers as I'll ever get, probably.

That is always a good breakfast. Sometimes I take a kipper snack and scramble them with eggs.

Malt vinegar?

I'm usually open to trying new foods but have never tried sardines. My grandma used to eat them and they grossed us out as kids. Now that I'm old I'll have to step up and try them. I cook with fish sauce a lot and love sushi, sashimi, and ceviche. Just still haven't tried sardines. Costco had big packs of them on sale the other day and I though if I liked them they'd be a good addition to food storage.

Bb

Hey Burleyboy, hope you day is going great!

When this thread started, I was dissing Sardines.

The other day I said what the heck and bought 4 cans when I was at Walmart. Not the whole sardines with the spines in them but Smoked Boneless Brunswick Sardine Fillets.

I just had another can of them with a Baguette for breakfast, man are they ever Delicious lol. Give these puppies a try, you will be happy you did, and way better then canned Tuna! Cheers ~

if you've never been in the situation, I suppose you can't understand the situation.

Right....from someone who self applied "Cummins Cowboy"..........


I bet you can do the electric slide....cant ya.

At the park?

yeah why not, I was a teenager once. confession through projection?

Youze damn guyz.

All this & I had to raid the cabinets. Found 1 single can of smoked oysters. Get the hot sauce & crackers. Memory poor, the first reminded me that my dislike of smoked stuff wasn't the meat, but the piss poor smoke. Imitation that taste like it was smoked with doty wood.

Oyster 1, not good. #2, somthin ain't right. See streaks of yellow slime on remaining oysters, check date on can, 2007. Damnit! eat 4 Zestas & hope for the best.

A frugal sort I are, I give the outdoor cat the rest. He wouldn't touch them, bad sign..

Four hours later, it looks like I've dodged a bullet

hahahahaha, that's funny! When a cat says no thanks, you know there is an issue.

Happy to hear that there are zero detrimental effects!

When they grow legs - I (might) try 'em.

I love smoked oysters, but can’t find any that aren’t farmed chinee oysters.

Hard pass.

Try those sardines longarm and I have cans of. Polar brand, from Latvia.

They're smoked, unlike most sardines.

https://buy.taylorshellfishfarms.com/ekone-canned-products/original-ekone-smoked-oysters/

12 bucks for 1 can, 9 bucks shipping, and maybe extra shipping. Bet they’re good!


Alaska - Due to courier restrictions in remote locations, orders must be taken over the phone. *additional shipping fee may apply

Thanks Mr. Math. I check ruthlessly every store we go to for smoked oysters only to find made in China. Not a chance. At the beginning of this thread I ordered some fishy things from Spain and low and behold scallops are really there own animal and not a punch out of some other fish.

Not raised in shit or heavy metal runoff costs extra.

I'll look for those too. Thanks!

Killer

The Brunswick herring was $2.14
The King Oscar mackerel was $3.54

That’s American dollars.

Brunswick herring is great.

I’ve puked or dry heaved every time I was dumb enough to try them.

Fair food for raccoons and the homeless I guess.

Yes.

the smell just reminds of Karen in 10th grade..........

Can't do it..........

wu bend flu luv chinee

Well, boyz, I have to be honest.

If you look at my first posts, I was Anti Sardine, then I went and bought some Smoked Boneless Sardine Fillets.

Well, I was running low on provisions and went to the store to stock up.

First place I went to was too the Canned Fish section and bought a months' worth of my new favorite food, Yeppers, Smoked Boneless Sardine Fillets.

Unbelievable lmao!

Cheers ~
