Just came from a wine party where the host opened up some cans of Ramón Peña mussels that he brought home from a recent trip, and holy loving poo poo.

Just straight out of the tin accompanied by some sourdough to either put the mussels on with a bit of cream cheese or to sop up the spicy oil the mussels were stored in.

Cracked open the Costco "Seasons" Sardines and they are night and day better than the "Chicken of the Sea Sardines in Louisiana Hot Sauce"
0 "fishy" note, if that bothers you, not gnawing throwing bones on every bite and just clean. I don't know how else to describe them but very very "clean" tasting.

Tossed em on a tzatziki triscuit with some black truffle hot suace.....loving HEAVEN on earth my friends. Wow. No more lovely chicken of the sea sardines for me.

Seasons are a great everyday sardine! There are okay cheaper dollar store type sardines. Beach Cliff is one that I’ll never do again though

I sorta miss the bumblebee mustard ones my corner store used to carry

Crossposting an incredible site

Leperflesh posted:

Dunno if a straight up web store is allowed, but: https://rainbowtomatoesgarden.com/ is a store that sells every single kind of canned fish (and cephalopod etc., just think seafood in a can). It has tools for sorting through the 700+ different tins of fish, and by "tools" I mean a Google Sheets spreadsheet linked directly from the site page. So without buying anything you can actually use this site as a tool for figuring out which eighteen brands sell gristling sardines packed in tomato and spice, and how big each can is and what it costs etc.

It also has tagging with filters, so you can click the "SARDINE SIZE BIG (CHONKERS)" tag to get this page https://rainbowtomatoesgarden.com/product-tag/large/ or "tin level: advanced" to get https://rainbowtomatoesgarden.com/product-tag/advanced-tin/ which lists some cans of fish that cost $45
or

how about all the stuff talked about by instagram/tiktok canned fish influencer "daywithmei"? https://rainbowtomatoesgarden.com/product-tag/daywithmei/

I'm just getting into tinned fish and tried some King Oscar plain ol sardines, and they were great. Had them on saltines with Texas Pete.

Is there a good way to trial a bunch of stuff I might like? Or should I just like buy whatever looks cool

edit-- drat that link above has a bunch of "ten tins to try and why" lists. score

Rainbow Tomatoes Garden is incredible, seriously one of the best online stores ive ever ordered from. The owner (Dan) is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, contacted me personally when I made my order to make sure the shipping cost was low as possible and packed my box full of neat little extras like stickers and recipes. Cant recommend them enough

Two things I've really enjoyed from RTG lately, plus an extra guy:

Ati Manel Garfish in Olive Oil



This was the first time I ever had garfish, and it was decent! I liked the texture better than the usual brisling, they were quite firm. I ate them with a mediterranean veggie salad with tahini dressing. If you like crunchy spines you'll loooove garfish. One other thing, if I was reading the can right, they are -very- salty. I'm not sure why they packed the salt into these guys -and- the olive oil, probably won't get them again for that reason, but I enjoyed giving garfish a whirl.

Don Gastronom (La Narval) Mackerel Fillets in Olive Oil 4/6



These were amazing. Perfectly meaty, mild flavor, more fish-y (in a good way) and much less dry than the sad tuna of my youth. I ate the tin in one sitting, over the sink, with portions on water crackers, doused with garlic tomato lonsa. I'd absolutely get this again at this price point, although I have a few KO mackerel tins I want to try and compare it with.


I didn't eat these from RTG, they were at a local specialty provisions shop, but these were also extremely good:

Siesta Co. Mackerel in organic extra virgin olive oil



More flaky than the above brand, which was wonderful - a perfect fish flavor balance between tuna and sardine imho, with added bonus of, to my taste, a really high quality, fruity olive oil.

I hadn't had much mackerel before and went a bit wild ordering more from RTG - will return with my thoughts after I slam a few tins.

Did not know you could buy canned krill, cool. I found a good review, by a blogger who encountered it at the north american seafood expo in boston last year.

https://buyingseafood.com/2023/10/13/antarctic-krill-meat/

The tl;dr is:
1) intensely shrimpy, can still see animal parts/little black eyes in tin, lots of little hard bits of chitin
2) they did not enjoy making a sandwich spread with it
3) they think it is still worth buying as it would be amazing as a base for stocks and sauces (much like we've seen some anchovy types in this thread)

This is the thread where you're encouraged to eat the bones but a slightly different chitinous fiber is a step too far?

I've been on a tinned fish kick lately and mostly making sautéed veggies and fish but taking the same ingredients and putting them on top of salad greens is nice to mix it up. For dressing I just mix balsamic, olive oil and some spices and it kicks rear end.

what brand? I stopped making salmon cakes and started making mackerel cakes a couple years ago because canned salmon got to a price point I was unwilling to pay.

salmon patties are so good but you gotta de-spine em, imo

as a bonus the spine is a healthy treat for a cat, or, assorted yard creature

made my mouth kinda tingly too. I'm allergic to shrimp so maybe there was still some krill in it's belly

I got a can of krill as pictured in my last post, I shared it on saltines with my son, his friend and my wife. The verdict - it was okay, it would have been hard to tell it from a can of chopped up tiny salad-size Alaskan shrimp, maybe tasted a bit more like crab. It looked just like the pictures in the linked story above, a black eye stalk here and there, not much chitin so decent texture, pretty salty. If it wasn't $7-8 a can I'd buy it once in a while, for that price it's a one-off.
