I was so nervous about proposing to my girlfriend today that I had no appetite but my kid said I had to eat something so I dadded it up with some Canadian Cloverleaf dines over the sink and it was perfect. She said yes, and I didn’t even fish-burp at her

Walked to our local fishmonger to pick up some celebratory oysters, but they were out. They had some dine-and-dine-adjacent things I hadn’t tried before, from Portugal and Spain. Looking forward to a voyage of discovery!

These were all unexceptional and fine except for the cockles which were metallic and gritty. Maybe I was supposed to soak or rinse them?

I picked up a couple of things at the fishmonger and mentioned that I’d liked the Riga smoked sardines, and the guy recommended that I try Which was quite nice in terms of texture and taste (trimmed tails, fancy!) but for $9.50 Canadian I don’t think I’ll be making a habit of them. (They are also nothing like the Riga other than the rough size of the fish, as far as I can tell.) I am looking forward to the scallops from the same brand, though…

I’m used to stern bear warnings for a lot of local hikes, so “fish fillet for a snack while in the wilderness” sounds sort of like complicated suicide to me.

I just dumped a can of Portuguese stickleback into a scramble of eggs and vegetables, and it was fine. Not sure I’ve ever had stickleback before!

had the marinated sardines today, on crackers, and they were super good. they’re packed in oil and vinegar so you get a nice balance of richness and acid, and the delicate meatiness of the butterflied sardines. goddammit I just had dessert and I’m thinking about trying the anchovies right now

If anyone is in Toronto, preferably west end, and knows where they sell KO dines, I would deeply appreciate a tip.

Man it is so nice to be able to just grab a can of delicious fishies and crack it open and wolf it over the sink—or toss them in a bowl with some diced onion and a squeeze of lemon—or fork them onto a cracker with a dash of hot sauce—or no doubt a bunch of other easy preparations… …and have a delightful, high-protein, mostly nutritious snack. I don’t have a point beyond wanting to sing some praises. I might have some now to see how they pair with a beer. God bless the ‘dines.

Our usual fishmonger is closed this week for a well-deserved break, so we hit a new-to-us one the next neighbourhood over. Got lots of great stuff, and as soon as I saw these beautiful packages I knew I had to have them. I don’t think I’ve had razor clams before!

Crossposting an incredible siteLeperflesh 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.

Tried these fried (?) mussels on a basic green salad yesterday, and used the packing oil/sauce as dressing. Very good, though smoked mussels are a bit firmer in a way that I prefer.

VictualSquid posted:They had a stack of Moroccan sardines with chili on sale an I grabbed a few. Now I got around to trying one and they taste amazing, they will probably be no longer in the store when I have the next opportunity to go there. And I can't find them on the internet, though while good they are not at the worth mail ordering tier. Please share the brand in case others get lucky!
