In the primitive days, someone plugged these bad boys. None of my grocers carried them, so I mostly forgot about it. Then I flew to Chicago for family in August. Randomly saw a can of these in Jewel. Bought it and flew it home for whenever. Just cracked the tin. My god. I almost want to say they are better than Bela. That might be euphoria and the fact that these are about $2 a tin (and they're bigger than the average tin!), so I'll stay conservative.

I saw those Riga sprats on Amazon for cheap and I was doubtful because of the one review that said Baltic waters are too polluted.

numberoneposter posted:lets talk about pickled herring for a bit It always makes me sad to hear about the hundreds of ways Scandinavians can enjoy pickled herring, but here in the US I only get a choice of pickled herring in white cream sauce or a clear brine with herbs.  Clear-brined on a Triscuit with an onion slice on top with a beer and a bunch of cornichons on the side is the way to go. drat good way of getting your omega-3s.e: Decrepus posted:I am a manbaby retard, what is the best way to prevent flinging microscopic dine particles all over the counter when I daintily pull off the last lip of the tin? Pull the lid most of the way off until the last bit is still attached, then flex (and don't pull) the lid up and down until the thin metal at the seal fatigues and falls right off. Works for lots of seafood canned in oil stuff. Zeno-25 fucked around with this message at 07:13 on Nov 22, 2014 |

Some other goon in the thread said sardines are plankton feeders? If that's true, then I doubt sardines would have any sort of problem even if the waters were polluted, since all of the heavy metals that build up in fish like salmon and tuna only do so because they're at the top of the food chain.

In elementary school (primary school for you common wealth dudes?) I used to bring a sack lunch on occasion with sardines. I liked them a lot, I'd bring saltines and sardines and not only would this make my class, who had to sit at one large table to eat, poo poo some loving bricks because this was rural texas, but it also annoyed the poo poo out of the faculty who felt some obligation to make sure I would open the can properly. It was the boneless variety for the record. I don't get them as much anymore, but bringing those things to school was 25% me enjoying them and 75% immensely enjoying how much it upset everyone without them being able to stop me. Some of my better elementary school memories.

One of the benefits of growing up in a heavily nordic populated area was ordering pickled herring and saltines at the bar and one of my grandpas like to pickle the walleye he'd catch ice fishing.

On toast or crackers with hot sauce. Beach Cliffs taste like the inside of a dog's rear end in a top hat. Bumblebee isn't much of a step up but the mustard sauce is very effective in making them (and other cheap dines... except Beach Cliffs) palatable.

They are really good but quite finny the way the smoking process hardens the tailfins. The best cracker-served sardine. The oil is very smoky as well, and well used to cook with rather than draining into a sink.

I was just enjoying some Millionaires in Sunflower Oil. It was very delicious, a lot of meat, very little bones. But, I was finishing up the oil and bits of sardine left by soaking and scooping with some naan. The hand that was holding the can slipped and I cut my pinkie. It's right at the joint too so it wasn't bad at first but then I bent my finger and blood just started flowing, not dripping. Still finished the rest of the can though.

I tried a brisling sardine cause that's what Alton Brown said is the best sardine for your healthy lifestyle and I do not care for the flavor one bit. It's not repulsive, just very fishy and and not good by itself. I bought two tins just in case so I can probably find some way to use the other one.

What brand? Not all brands stand up. Also, that segment of Alton Brown is a pro watch. I was lolling when the label fell off the can, revealing his dine duplicity.

Inspired by this thread, this was breakfast/lunch today: Finn Crisp Crispbread (tasty with out having the industrial strength presence of Wasa or Ak-mak) Ripe avocado Light touch of celery salt Crystal hot sauce Trader Joe's smoked herring fillets in canola oil more Crystal a couple of daubs of sour cream The TJ's herrings taste pretty fishy to me, but that's why I love them so. Anyway, added together, this was an umami godhead moment.

I'm only on page 29 of the 'dine thread, so I guess if this has already been gone over tell me to lurk more. I'm a big fan of canned kippers, especially the Trader Joe's "Smoked Herring." Now that I have roommates I have dialed back my canned fish eating as a courtesy. I live in a place where there are amazing world-spanning grocery stores, and one of them carries, for $7.59, fine French sardines in olive oil suitable for aging. The ones they had on the shelves were canned October 2012. I'm not a huge sardine fan, though. Are these appreciably better than, say, King Oscar brislings? Worth it at three times the price? I like KOs enough, but I'd rather have a kipper. My canned herring meal is pretty basic, beer, preferably something bland like High Life or Budweiser, Carr's table waters (yes, there is a difference between that and just "water crackers") and good ol' Tabasco. By the way, Trader Joe's "Smoked Trout" is pretty blah and overpriced at nearly $4 a can. Canned fish talk has got me thinking of cracking open some of my stockpiled kippers on the porch. This same store also carries non-canned, refrigerated, smoked kippers from Canada. Worth a try? They're not that expensive. This is the stuff Supertramp (purest dad rock) talks about when they ask "could we have kippers for breakfast?" right?

Open the can, dump out sardines, rinse can under hot water for a second, prepare and eat sardines, rinse plate under hot water for a second. Its not like you are eating durian or Surströmming. And kippers are the least olfactory of all canned fishes.

taste tested some TJ's lightly smoked sardines in olive oil with 3 different hot sauces on water crackers. Melinda's Naga Jolokia  was good, but either I didn't put enough to really taste it against the 'dines, or it was way too spicy for this application. At least for me. el yucateco caribbean habanero  too mild, not enough cut to really balance the sardines out. Lao gan ma spicy chili crisp  Awesome. The oniony garlicky sweet and salt and spicy worked perfectly with these. Would eat again Edit. The sardines themselves were kind of sloppily cleaned. There were a few scales and bits.
