it'll be a nice breakfast juxtaposition, extremely perishable fruit and tinned fish that will be good well into trump's third term

Trying some new recipes to use these 240g Fried Riga Gold's in tomato sauce selling at Grocery Outlet for 1.49



Cooked down some potatoes, onions, garlic and, canned tomatoes then added harrisa, the sardines and spinach.

That made a pretty big pot worth at least 5 meals. Tried a portion with some a couple eggs poached and it's as tasty as it was cheap.

I've read this entire thread and there have been a lot of posts about winning KO contests and receiving aged 'dines, sardine can closing lids, special sardine forks, etc., and i think at this point it's just like a dozen goons keeping KO's social media presence alive.

I imagine it's part novelty item, part "I had some on toast for lunch and I'll have the rest tonight" which is probably Food Safe.

I got second place a few years ago and they asked me if I wanted a red hat or a black apron.

I chose the apron.

FYI I had Bela codfish last night "portuguese style", whatever that means. I don't recommend it - it wasn't smoked, wasn't packed in oil and just had a really neutral taste to it. Of course, crackers, hot sauce, pickles, lemon, etc picked it up, but I don't know that I'd get it again. Just wasn't much to it, flavor wise.

Your flavor is beyond compare
With crunchy bones, an oily fare
With silver skin and lots of omega three
Your pop is like a breath of sea
An open tin destined for me
And I am not complete without sardines

[Chorus as above]

I talk about you in my sleep
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From eating when you call my name, sardine
And I could easily understand
How you could easily be my can
But you don't know what you mean to me, sardines

[Chorus as above]

You could have your choice of Kings
Belas, Nuris, lemon on brislings
They're the only ones for me sardines
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, sardines!

I've learned that sardines are being overfished especially in Portugal so I'm sticking to mackerel for now. The ones from Patagonia Provisions are delicious and right now they are on sale at Whole Foods for $5.

quote:

Why Some Portuguese Are Passing on Sardines

Here in Portugal, we love our sardines. Some find it hard to imagine a world without them.

Unfortunately, in the last decade, the sardine population has dropped, mostly due to climate change and excessive fishing. In 2006, fishermen caught 106,000 tonnes of sardines, versus 22,000 tonnes in 2016!

Sardines like cooler waters, so as the temperature rises in the Atlantic, they’ve retreated up north. This means that more and more, your “local” sardines might be coming from the UK or France.

The young sardines are especially vulnerable to these changes and, without them, it’s hard to replenish the population.

Every year locals are faced with the possibility that they might not have enough sardines. The government has put limitations on fishing, so most of the sardines you find in Lisbon are frozen to keep up with the demand.
