Just ate a funky-rear end sardine and while I was freaking out about it to my husband he said, "Hey, there's a sardines thread in GBS! But they might troll you."

Anyway, I just ate two bites of this sardine before realizing part of it was GREEN. The consistency of part of it was mushy and weird.

Did I just eat mold? Spoiled fish? Or is this some mysterious sardine anatomy?

That does not look good friend.

What brand and type of 'dines were they? Were they packed in something weird?

Season Brand, Skinless & Boneless in 100% olive oil. Only one was odd-looking.

They didn't smell or taste funny, and I didn't eat more than a few bites, so I'm hoping I'll be fine...but now I'm mainly just looking for anecdata from others.

It's fine, that 'dine just didn't get gutted as cleanly as it could've.

Gross as it may seem, eating the partially digested stomach contents of a fish you're eating isn't that big of a deal. If you eat oysters or other sea mollusks, you're getting the same mouthful of algae chyme.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

This is very reassuring, thank you. This is the first time I've ever seen one like this, hence my ask-the-internet freakout after eating some.

Would super not like to die one week before my birthday. You are giving me hope that that's a possibility.

EDIT: Since I'm currently not going to die this weekend according to Mr. Dick, has anyone else had issues with the Season Brand foil tops? The foil pull tabs broke off TWO of them today as I was trying to maybe-poison myself for lunch. I got them from Costco about 6 months ago.

I've gotten a couple like that over the years, and I just figured there are places where people eat some kinds of fish guts and all so no biggie. If the rest of the fish was safe the innards should be too, although some parts are kind of bitter.

I finally found a bakery that makes baguettes with the proper light texture and thin crispy crust, so I made a big jar of quick-pickled carrots and daikon and am living the dream with an occasional sardine or smoked oyster bahn mi.

thin crusts are good for sandwiches but for slicing into rounds and piling fish on, crust gotta be THICC

Fish/oyster sauces are amazing and I get a hearty lol when I hear somebody get grossed out by them while also loving foods that contain them all their lives without knowing it.

I make wings baked in oyster sauce for pot lucks sometimes and people will gnaw them down to polished bone but there's always someone who decides they don't like them after eating ten because they found out about the oyster sauce.

Lmao.

There's foods I don't like as well but I certainly don't act like a baby if I find out it's in something I enjoyed. I don't get why people don't just go "I'll be damned, didn't even notice it" like I do.

E: though the more I think about it the less I think it's that with fish/oyster sauces though, because they absolutely add a detectable awesomeness to food. I think people are just grossed out by the concept without realizing it's loving delicious as a key ingredient in lots of foods they prolly like.

Hell worscestershire sauce is basically a fish sauce and even the Romans were all about some gross delicious fish juice and put that poo poo on everything.

I get how the smell of fish sauce might throw someone at first if they knew nothing about it or had had a bad anchovy experience, but oyster sauce just smells and tastes like salty savory soyish ketchup. A negative reaction to it seems to be 100% based on the name which strikes me as weird.

I read a PJ O’Rourke book from the late 80s that had a chapter about his trip to Vietnam before I went 20 years ago. He said “Nuoc Mam is an acquired taste. A taste you’d better acquire quickly if you don’t want to vomit”

Which made me scared of it until I got there and yeah it doesn’t smell good on its own but now I put it in just about any savory sauce I make

My mom would par-boil chicken wings, then wok-fry them before tossing them in a sauce of oyster sauce, ginger, and green onions. That poo poo was dope.

The tracks go off in this direction.
Does oyster sauce even have oysters in it? It’s hard for me to differentiate it from hoisin sauce, which is about as inoffensive a flavor you can find.

I need to get some fish sauce. I keep putting it off.

The good oyster sauce has real oysters in it. The meh stuff has oyster extract.

these were the best 'dines i've had in ages. Pan do Mar, in extra virgin olive oil, hand cleaned and filleted. Can't remember what they cost but probably around $5aud for a 120g tin. Firm, tasted incredibly fresh, good flavour without being that fishy. A+ would dine again.
