wife found these at the grocery outlet



rugenfisch smoked herring. one of the bestest tinned fish I've ever had. a solid 4/5 because nothing in the material realm is perfect



hehe yeah take it off



big hunks of fish, good texture, not melty not dry. not too smokey, not to bland, a little fishy, and a little too salty.

Dads, today I finally found a store locally that sells KO mackerel and picked some up.

I also just scarfed a few cold Riga Golds out of the fridge jar, life is good.

I just emptied a jar of Järki Särki, or "Smart Roach" (the fish, not bugs):



The idea is that Finnish lakes are literally overflowing with särki but people are too snooty to eat it since it is perceived to be "trash fish". (In the olden times särki was what you ate when you were poor and couldn't afford better.) Meanwhile we are importing tuna from endangered fisheries by the boatload, contributing to Sea Death, so the people at Järki Särki decided to create a local product out of the normally discarded särki catch that would beat anything imported in taste.

It just might be the best drat canned fish product I have ever tasted! If you ever come this way, buy a jar or two, you won't be disappointed.

That's pretty neat, there were efforts in the past to market plentiful but unpopular native fish here (upper midwest US) but they all fizzled out. Canned White Sucker (Catostomus commersonii) is delicious, people who prepare it at home call it names like "Winnebago Salmon" and put up dozens of jars of it every spring.

I made some chicken liver paté today with livers from the farm where we get our eggs. Turned out great, can't wait to eat fully half of it on sourdough toast with raw red onion tomorrow!

GOOD MORNING
Last night, I went to my brother in law's new bar. We had some tinned fish snacks along with our cocktails, which were served with a loaf of crusty warm bread, some grainy mustard, and a few pickled peppers.

I tried the mackerel, which was fine, but the one I found to be most interesting that I had not had before were Lulas these little squid stuffed with rice and spices. Very yummy. I have had Nuri before, and I don't usually eat tuna due to it not being sustainable, but I ended up snagging a sampler pack as I didn't know if any of these were particularly hard to get:

Do you have any idea where he got the Lulas? A quick search has not revealed anything. Those sound really good to someone who already loves calamari.

Outstanding! Thanks for that! Off to go order some now.

Update, my order arrived yesterday, and I tried a can today. drat, that is some good stuff. Expensive for canned seafood, but very, very good. Arrived quicker to TX than I was expecting, too.

Found a store that carries Portuguese dines outside of Belas, grabbed some cans of Nuris and Moritz. Much bigger than my normal King Oscars but so very tasty. Worth the extra $2 a can.

A friend, who thought he didn't like sardines, finally ate the can of KO meds I gave him 2 weeks ago. Just texted me to tell me how good they are. While he isn't a goon, he is now one of us. He even ate his first can the way I suggested, with nothing else, over the sink, as god intended.

I ate a bunch of fried roundhead caught from the surf in VA last week and they were loving delicious. They're a little too big to be sardines but they're also a little too small to filet commercially, and the stocks must be in pretty good shape because I've never seen a haul like this of just roundhead from a few days of surf fishing. If you know how to eat a smallish fish that's still full of inedible bones they're the best tasting fish you'll catch in the surf here imo. Except maybe a flounder, but they're overfished. Blue fish can get out.

Flower brand Moroccan sardines in tomato sauce on top of zoodles. All heated in the office microwave & topped with Parmesan cheese because there's nobody else around.

I need to completely drain the zoodles next time.

Oh word the spiced sardines I like are Flower brand. They are really good.

Now that I think of it, there is a Russian grocer like 20 blocks down Geary from me and I think I'm going to go and see what tinned fish they have and grab a few cans tomorrow before work.

King Oscar is an excellent way to introduce people to sardines...a lot of people try like, Starkist packed in water and don't understand what it's like to have a truly transcendent sardine.

I had a pack of Briosa packed in tomato sauce the other day. They were a little dry but the tomato sauce was amazing. Gonna look for more packed in tomato sauce now.

Found these in the refrigerated fish section of Whole Foods:

Pretty tasty out of the package. Took about 1/2, chopped them up, and utilized the oil to make a salad:

The flavor itself is pretty intense so no other seasoning was necessary. 10/10 would'dine again.

Dinner yesterday was a sardine and fried egg sandwich with yellow mustard on bread I baked the day before. The egg yolk was a little runnier that it could have been. Still, good sandwich.

I used fresh squid the last time I made it.

canned, but I'm blanking on the name. something I got at an average American supermarket

it was just really fishy and a little rubbery. I think it'd be great in stew.
