Tonight this 'dine lover fried up some smelts for the first time. They were crunchy and delicious, and healthy and sustainable too!

Not 'dines but dadly dinner Pickled Planet spicy beans and chicken liver pate spread over toasted multigrain English muffins. Large plate because it's the last clean plate while dishwasher runs. The beans are spicier than I was expecting but that means I'll have a flavorful brine for whatever meat I pick up his weekend.

Looks really good. I grabbed some chicken livers to make pate but I'm going to have to wait until I finish off the lamb ham I made.

Android Apocalypse posted:Okay, now you piqued my interest. This article is has a nice overview and I used the recipe at the end. It's not for the dry cured kind. I used thyme instead of rosemary because I loving hate rosemary. I also pulled it out of the smoker at 144 because the last time I cooked lamb to 150 I thought it was overdone. If you wanted to you could put some sugar in the rub and make a barbecue style bark crust but it's already pretty sweet from the sugar in the brine. It's so, so good. Some pics from my crappy phone camera.

Either way, I know this is a meal both she and I would love, so I think I'm set for Mother's Day!

Glad to see people are exploring more 'dine consumption. Bought from the local bodega & eaten with the morning's eggs & kasha. Kinda sweet for my liking.

Storm took our power as soon as I got home, so what's for dinner? Tiny tots on saltines, some with mustard or sriracha. Even by flashlight a happy dinner.

Some of my students are doing a study abroad program in Spain this summer, and I told them I would pay handsomely for any cool canned seafood they find in Spanish grocery stores that you can't get here. I know in Europe, they have entire aisles devoted to it, with even more exciting options than typical 'dines. Do any of you have any recommendations for branching out, especially if you're familiar with any European brands? I'm hoping for shellfish or unfamiliar fish.

Secret Santa brought me a couple tins of these last christmas: Pretty drat good, a bit chewy with light shellfishy flavor. Put 'em on a cracker with a little lemon and a dab of hot stuff, ooh yeah. I'm making a pilgrimage to Seafood City tomorrow, gonna load up on cans and see what fresh fishes look good for grillin' this weekend

I just tried a tin of Trader Joe's smoked trout. Delicious! They're lightly smoked, not like a kipper, so more of the great trout flavor comes through. The meat is substantial enough to stand up to cheese and crackers; it reminds me of crab meat to be honest.

Just had my first tin of skippers/brisling (the tiny fishes of which this thread is so fond cannot be sold here as sardines, for any UK goons who have been wondering). They're not terribly common here, so I just picked up a few of the Big Name brand, John West. I didn't take any pictures, just popped them on some toast with a little salt and pepper for breakfast. Very enjoyable, the flavour is a little more delicate than a pilchard and the texture was lovely. I can certainly see that they'd be a lot more convenient for cracker consumption than the larger fish. I'll probably take a picture or two when I open my next tin - fish size varied quite a bit so I'd like to compare them to other brands.

I don't know if y'all have been looking in Asian grocery stores for sardines, but I went to Fubonn in Portland a couple weeks ago and there were dozens of novel canned seafoods.

'Sup, fellow Oregoon! Fubonn is a couple blocks from my place & is my go-to Asian grocery store that I'd go to. Up the street is Hong Phat, and their selection is smaller but has interesting choices.  Bonus: Hong Phat has balut. Latest haul from them:  I'm excited for the Century 'dines because those are Filipino fishes. The crab & prawns were bought on a whim, so who knows what they taste like? Bangus is also known as milkfish & my mom would fry up those fatty fishies, so I'm interested in how they taste like when canned.

The Asian Food Center in the plaza next to Beaverton transit station has a pretty big selection of canned seafood. It also seems like a decent store in general, I like it better than Uwajimaya, but I'm fairly new to the area so I haven't seen what else there is. Since tiny tots are pricey here, I always check when I go to a new-to-me grocery store. Rosauers was having a dine sale.   (After taking the photo I found 2 cans way in the back shoved behind the other brands  ) Also picked up a bunch of chicken of the sea because for $.50 a can they are decent firm fishies, just need some doctoring up.

loving weird. For the first time in my life for no discernable reason I bought sardines in a can in oil and scarfed that poo poo down. Loved it. Then I come to GBS of all places and what the poo poo is a thread about loving sardines doing here. Also we're all Oregoons too apparently. Jesus loving christ they put something in the goddamn water and its turning the us and sardines all gay. Come join the Oregoons thread https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3032517

Tried some sherried lobster pate on toast with some greens today and that poo poo was gross. Came in a little blue can. Tasted like raw sherry mostly. Raw sherry and an indelicate shellfish flavor. I spit it out and went out for lunch instead.

I've been eating hella pig hearts and pig tongues lately, fubonn's meat selection is dank af. 2.39/lb for hearts and 3.29/lb for tongues is a super good price compared to meat sold to white people. I made soup w Tom ka seasoning and named it Tongue Ka.
