Chicken of the sea are smoked, cheap but ok, flavorful, somewhat weird texture. Beach cliff are v fishy, weirder texture, wouldn't choose these again although they aren't bad Brunswick are almost like fresh fish, not as flavorful plain as the smoked ones but by far higher quality and fantastic with horseradish/mustard etc Would dad food again

Christmas Miracle posted:beach cliff in water are foul imo. bought and ate a can of king oscars because of this thread. it was great actually I'm rocking some Mediterranean style King Oscars with hot sauce and horseradish right now. Oscar is definitely the best brand I've had. The tails are left on and they kinda weird me out a bit. I eat about half and remove the other half.

Any sardines/herring in a jjigae is really easy to do. Basically throw some dried anchovy into ~3 cups of water, when the water turns a color and the anchovy is mostly dissolved, strain what anchovy detritus you can find out of the broth. Proceed to add a cup of kimchi and a can of your favorite water-packed herring or sardines. (if using a rolly-top tin, do two of those. You can also use herring/sardine in tomato sauce, avoid oil packed stuff.) Add gochujiang or chili paste/powder to taste. Chop some green onions or what have you and add those too, because it will take probably 5 minutes to make the herring tender at a simmer. Yeah this is a good camping dish and it's really quick to make. It's easy to do if you break an esbit tablet in two, using one to boil the water and the other half to stoke the pot to a simmer (or even just keep it for morning).

A brown-people store near where I live sells frozen sardines. Can I just thaw them, fry it up and then eat it with some sort of sauce? What's the deal with bones in that situation? I might give the head to my cat to try to win her love.

I might give the head to my cat to try to win her love. My cat was like, "oh poo poo dude that smells wonderful" and started freaking out when I opened the tin of sardines. I cut a small piece off and gave it to her, and she just licked it and then lost interest. loving cats.

I love all kinds of shellfish, squid and octopus but I'm not a huge fan of real fish, unless it's smoked salmon or prepared as sashimi. I'll eat ten pounds of smoked salmon and tuna sashimi but as soon as it's cooked it's bleh as hell to me.Feminition posted:i've never had a piece of octopus i've liked, either; it feels like it takes a century to chew

fresh caught fish is generally ridiculously good. seriously, cooked <1 hour out of the water is a completely different experience. eat the octopus.

ashgromnies posted:Octopodes are also super intelligent so if you'd eat octopus but balk at eating dolphin you're silly and wrong Not very smart compared to any bird or mammal. Octopuses have some interesting behaviors with regards to learning, pattern recognition and pack hunting, but they don't have the same kind of cognitive capabilities that land animals have. Don't feel bad about eating octopus because of their intelligence. Octopus can be sustainably fished in the US and Europe, and the reason some octopus is marked as 'Avoid' by the Guide to sustainable seafood is that Asian fisheries are unregulated and have not been evaluated for sustainability and ecological impact. Octopuses grow fast and don't live long, and produce large numbers of spawn. That makes them less susceptible towards overfishing compared to many common food fish.

axolotl farmer posted:Not very smart compared to any bird or mammal. Seems a little spurious. An octopus can figure out how to open a screw-top jar to get at the contents. They can learn to hide and disguise themselves. They have a concept of what they are, as a living creature. There are humans that can't figure that out. Studies of octopus intelligence, and comparative intelligence in general, is nascent and I find it egotistical to make a strong claim that they're unintelligent comparatively, given the amount of research that's been done in the past few decades. I would prefer to err on the side of caution and not eat potentially sentient creatures.

See if we don't repress them and eat them now, we would be giving them the time and evolutionary niche to become the next dominate species upon this earth. You know where that will lead?  It's a brain eat brain world out there and we already took care of the god damned zombies.

Current favorite thing is to get the bulk packs of herring/sardines/anchovies/etc via amazon subscribe and save. They keep forever so if you get enough to hit that 15% discount it's a solid way to get them cheap. For the new sardine recruits in this thread I recommend baked sandwhiches. Put whatever you want on it but avocado is highly recommended.
