I don’t like the fins either, one can just knock them off most of the time though.

just had a tin of atlantic dines.

they looked beautiful, a nice layer of small fishes, skin intact, no floaty pieces or anything, just a perfect presentation. that's where the good stopped. they were super soggy and crumbly, too salty and just kind generally nasty flavored. the disintegrating texture made the, like, minor flavor problems real pronounced because there's this lump of not great fish just straight melting all over your fish receptors. a little lemon juice made them edible, but I was choking the can down because I wasn't going to waste fish, not because I was into it. the olive oil was, I dunno, I hesitate to call it bad but it was too strong for the fish and even after a cider it's still making my mouth and throat feel greasy. maybe good dines to treat constipation or for people who can't chew

Update 9/9/21: Cats still don't like sardines. Considering possibility they may be some sort of alien pod people kind of replicant. The fishy oil keeps them at bay.

Work lunch.



Came in a TinCanFish pack a month or two ago. Mussels in spicy pickled sauce. A tough of heat, some pepper, and a decent texture. No rubberiness or crunchy bits. Surprisingly good. Would eat again, over brown rice this would be pretty awesome.

Nice. I had some leftover farro and some collards that the neighbor gave me, so when I reached into the tinned fish library for a selection today, I chose the Matiz mussels so thanks for the inspiration pal

Put some Smiling Fish brand mackerel in chili sauce in my Sunday shakshouka. Luckily that was the highlight as my homemade rye bread was terrible. Dense, crumbly, unable to sop up all this fishy goodness… :negative:

I gotta say that I love sardines, bones and all, but there's little I find more insulting than the new restaurant trend of cracking a tin of fish, charring bread slices and slopping it with a lemon wedge and a pile of salt onto an old cutting board. And charging :20bux: for it.

Also from this thread's recommendation I ordered September's deal from tincanfish and I'll post a stash shot when it arrives tomorrow:

As promised my stash shot, with bonus hot sauce:



I use Seasons for cooking stews and soups etc, and the rest are essentially sink dines. I just discovered the only European specialty store in town (Cyrillic flavored countries only lol) and picked up all the Latvian sprats and matje, so I haven't tried those yet.

Luckily pre-plague I got to travel to Lisbon and (among other awesome things) visit the Conserveira and tinned fish museum:



That's from Atlas Obscura as I lost all my photos (and ate all the fish that I filled my bag with returning home) but it's amazing as a shop. The "museum" portion is just a couple old pieces of canning equipment and a photo gallery, but it's free and they have samples sometimes

Just tried some Bandi also pretty good. Big only two fish in the tin, but they still filled the tin. Clean flavor, veg oil not olive.

GOOD MORNING
Hey yall

Yesterday was tinned fish for lunch and for dinner.

Lunch was a standard cupboard-and-fridge whatever thing where I had some chopped up spinach, onion, threw in some chicken broth, boiled some noodles and threw in some octopus. Not bad.

Dinner was a childhood classic: Salmon cakes. Big can of salmon, old bay, panko, dried herbs, egg, green onion, s&p, etc. Butternut squash puree and canned green beans on the side. Wife made a sriracha / mayo / cilantro aioli for em

I envy people who have never had salmon cakes before because they are in for a treat.

did a can of ligos in tomato with chili added sauce over the sink. ligos are, surprisingly, better than I remember. I realized the flavor of the tomato sauce, while definitely tomatoey, was also really sweet, like canned pizza sauce. now I realize this sounds gross, but the overall flavor was a lot like philipino spaghetti, which, I guess, also might sound gross, but for the fishes it worked. the sauce was sweet, but not overpoweringly so. it did overwhelm any flavor inherent in the fish, but for a $1 a can dines that's not necessarily a bad approach. fish texture was a little on the soft side, but heads and tails above what you usually find in bottom shelf dines. also the chili was spicy, just bellow/around the nose dripping level for me, which is hot enough that heat is a pronounced flavor, but not hot enough to make eating them a test of endurance.

wouldn't stock them as my go to dine, but I'm gonna pick up a few more cans for the sake of variety the next time I see them
