What the gently caress is a napkin doing in there? Wipe your hands on the nearest grassy or dirt surface. If things are really out of hand use shop towels.

It's for wrapping the fork in before you stick it back in the case.

I said wrapping, not wiping. No amount of wiping ever really desardines a fork

Why would you want to desardine anything? The wiping should just be to keep any oil on the fork from soaking into the case. As an added bonus it makes you smell more like canned fish so that your coworkers will leave you the hell alone.

Whoooo sardine thread, oh how I love your little fishy goodness since I was a little kid, growing up on the ocean helps to love all those fishy flavors. Now that I am a dad I get to pass my love of sardines down to my little one.

I hit up my commissary on base today and they had a rather large selection of sardines, kippers and mollusks, picked up these goodies for some snacking later on.

I haven't seen those jalapeno or pepper flavors yet, can't wait to try them out to see how the fish taste.

Went down the oriental isle and saw these caned sardines.

Has anybody ever tried these before? I am curious about their taste and texture, especially at that price point.

Fred Meyers has Bumblebee 'dines for $1/ tin. I bought three, one of each flavor, mustard, olive oil, & hot sauce. I'll go back and buy more when I figure out which one I like the best.

Please let me know how the olive oil is. I saw those at my Fred Meyer, but I was scared of the price and brand.

I don't think Bumblebee even sells sardines in olive oil, it's most likely soybean oil.

Also, they suck.

Sure thing :) I started with the mustard since that was the one I was most doubtful about. It's a bit bland which is surprising for mustard, but not bad imo. I'll let you know how the olive oil tasted when I get to it.

The mustard ones are actually decent! Don't get careless when opening your tin like I did the other night and end up with mustard stains on your pants. Maybe just take your pants off first and eat your sardines in your underwear, mustard sauce or no.

Standing up, sure. Sitting on the couch eating in your underwear and spilling on yourself is gross goon type behavior. I've only eaten sardines standing up in the kitchen. I have a bunch of dried out yard stuff (leaves, twigs, branches, weeds) to get rid of - I plan to hook up the hose for safety and make a bonfire in the backyard soon and I think a can of sardines and crackers will go well with that adventure.

I am not a Dad but in the 70's and '80's my Dad would make huge cool fires to get rid of junk. I'd be assigned the job of holding a hose. This was years before recycling and yard waste collection became a thing.

I'm too lazy to count. Odds are good that there are more types of mustard in there than actual food.


Fake Edit: Yes, my fridge does actually contain some food.

I just ate an entire can of King Oscar sardines. I put them on some triscuits along with cream cheese and Tabasco sauce.

They were fantastic. My dog got up and sat next so I gave her 3 fishies, too.

Weirdest thing is that they own beach cliff too. So it's like they have a separate brand for their low, mid and high tier sardines.

and Beach Cliff is canned by the same cannery as literally every tin of sardines coming out of Canada. Brunswick is another one of the Bumblebee brands and is also produced at their Canadian cannery.

Great.

WalMart had a decent stock of King Oscars Sardines, and I also got a few tins of Bar Harbor Smoked Kippers, which are quite good. Also picked up something that looks promising, Cole's Portuguese Sardines. I don't think I've had Portuguese sardines yet.

Trip report: I had the Bumblebee sardines in soy oil on some artisian white bread (the chewy crusty kind that's oh so good) and tobasco sauce. The dines were a bit bland but better than tuna so I think I'll be making the switch when it comes to snack food items. Not bad for a buck imo

E. how the gently caress did I get melon out of making

Yeah, either way would be a fantastic option to ruin it.

Alternatively, open the can, squeeze a little of the salmon juice out, discard lid, pick up a fork and you are done with prep.

From earlier in the thread:

Big Beef City posted:

Take it out of the can and hold it in your hand.
Using your thumb and a small amount of running water, rub off the skin that's still on it in places. Move the large chunks and remove most of the spine if you can.

Put two cans worth of the meat in a bowl.
Crack an egg into the bowl.
Put some bread crumbs in there.
Put some chopped fresh parsley, finely diced onion and celery, salt, and the juice of one lemon also into the bowl.
Mix into paste.
Put paste into breadpan/shape into loaf form.
Bake.

Salmon loaf.

Additional pro-tier add in ingredients: hot sauce, capers, dill, marjoram, etc.

Trip report: had the Bumblebee sardines in "hotsauce". I guess my hot-o-meter is set way higher than Bumblebee's because I would have called that mild. Still good though.
