I was given a can of Crown Prince in water so I prepared it like tuna salad (mayo, lemon juice, red onion) and it was passable.

I've never enjoyed dines in water, and it would probably be a pretty weak introduction to the world of the :coolfish: I'd exchange them.

When you make a mistake, you plow on forward and make as if that was your plan all along. Even if it sucks, you say it was a great decision and everything is fine. Your pride is on the line, here.

Passable is not good enough. Next time I'm at the store, I'll swap them out. I'd rather not ruin my first time.

How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

I HAVE MODIFIED THE EGGS.
Sorry about the white balance, at work and can't edit my photos.


Addition of tomato paste, capers, and chili flakes.


550 BITCH. j/k I cooked at 375 because I'm not a psychopath.


The mix, I mash mine up, might get around to trying it with whole fishies next time. Heavy on the pepper.


The Secret Weapon. Featuring anchovies and diet coke in the background.


It places the cheese in the casserole dish. More pepper.


Melty chew goodness.


Time to ruin finish it off with sriracha.

Fishermans putanesca! It turned out REALLY good. But word to the wise you don't need to use all of the tomato paste. Not a deal breaker but half a tin would have worked better.

I made a pretty good pasta dish with sardines tonight:

1. Put 1/2 pound of spaghetti in a pot of boiling water

2. Mince up a bunch of cloves of garlic, chop up half an onion and chop a good sized thing (head?) of broccoli.

3. Put the garlic and onions in span in olive oil on medium for a while until they smell done. Toss in the broccoli for a while. Add a cup or so of heavy cream and turn to low. I added lemon juice here (1/2 of a lemon) and I'm glad I did.

4. When the cream has reduced add a can or two of sardines, turn off the heat and let it sit for a little while

5. Add the spaghetti and black pepper and salt and toss together. Fresh chopped parsley would be good on top. I didn't have any

You could probably skip the cream and it would still be good.

Stupid question, but wouldn't the lemon juice make the cream curdle?

p sure it's like adding an acidic wine to a cream sauce. If your cream is warm, you add it slow and you're constantly stirring, it doesn't

I am dead tired after a 12 hour shift, and looking at an 11 hr tomorrow. Thank all the gods that I have some delectable KO - olive tapenade from yesterday, for the energy I need tomorrow:

http://www.kingoscar.com/recipes-for-a-happier-life/recipes-apetizers/sardine-tapenade-tomato-bites.html

It's a solid recipe, and one I recommend to anyone just shoving that protein/vitamins in on Triscuits and tomato slices and cheese and whatever before a brutal restaurant shift

Not yet, I'm feeling a bit intimidated by them. How did you eats yours? I was thinking for the purest experience I should eat them plain out of the tin with the sardine fork.

I had them on crackers, I usually do 'em up with some sharp cheddar, but I left the cheese alone in case the difference was subtle and sharp cheddar would overpower it. I think I made the right choice as far as that goes.

You don't need a fork. You just dig around in the oil with your fingers until you catch one of the slippery little bastards and then you put it in your mouth hole and eat it all up.

If I had those vintage 'dines I'd absolutely eat them straight from the tin. Also Sheep-Goats is right: it would be cool if you could do a side by side with some standard KOs.

The mackerel is a medium oil fish. You can take it from there.

Put the fish on a cracker or toast with hot sauce. Butter or cream cheese will add nothing flavor wise

KO and other brands also sell mackerel, usually in the same fashion as sardines. The flavor is a little lighter, the texture is a little more firm and meaty, and they're a little more dry. Eat them like you would eat sardines in tomato sauce - that is, liberally douse with hot sauce.
