I bought these shits after stumbling upon the last 'dine thread:

As you can clearly see, I still haven't opened them. Judging from this thread, I made 2 rookie mistakes in buying cheap 'dines and also getting them in water. I don't remember there being much selection. Anyway, I'm not really into fish, but these drat threads make them sound so appealing. I have had and enjoyed the smoked oysters (on crackers w/ hot sauce), and our family friends brought some salmon from their annual trip to Alaska this last summer and smoked it and it tasted like delicious fish candy, which is not something you would expect someone who doesn't like fish much to ever say but that's the best way I can describe it. So good. So with that in mind, recommend me a good quality 'dine, 'dine thread. Obviously I'll go for something if it's smoked, but if the fishyness isn't super pronounced I think I can handle it. I would be willing to order a tin online if necessary.

I just want to pop in on the cooking temps convo and say I thought telling the noob cook to do fish and eggs at 500 was pretty hilarious. I would like to see pics of this dish cooked this way.

Sheep-Goats maybe your oven doesn't actually reach temp. I recommend getting a little oven thermometer and seeing what temp it actually is cooking at if your 15-minute 500-degree tiny olive-oil-covered-fish don't turn into smoke and carbon during that legit ridiculous cooking process.

You mean the six minutes the dines are in the 500 before they get covered with cold egg?

I'm putting a big glittering 500 in the OP until you dorks try it.

Please post a pic next time you cook this.

Also, you dads realize that part of what makes a good can of sardines good is that the 'dines are perfectly cooked in the can, right? Bad ones are sometimes already-overcooked. My instinct with something like F-eggs would be to cook eggs and then add the already-perfect fish. Cooking tinned sardines is sort of counterproductive. I know alton did it with his sherry dines recipe, but that was just a 1 min broil or something. To each his own, though! Just something to think about! I love you!

I bought sprats in a black round can because on the can it said SPRATS in gold letters and I recognized those letters from a dream / my Something Awful sardine thread, that is the power of the internet.

I haven't eaten them yet because that is the power of self control, son.

Sounds like rigas? Good choice, if so! If the tin were small enough to be single-serving they'd beat KO for my favorite. I usually share my rigas with a fellow 'dine-eater by having them for lunch at work.

Also, next to the sprats at my market, there is Riga sardine p�t�. I am nervous about buying a can of fish paste. Maybe... too... dadly?

You guys are going to go loving crazy when I finally make my sardine pizza @ 500 degrees. Maybe this weekend. Pizza dough is a pain in the old beehive and I like my pizza dough but I don't like making it so I might just buy some from this local bakery that sells fresh dough balls but otherwise I'm gonna make the sauce putanesca style.

I like to go to papa murphy's and get a ready crust for two bucks. If you have P-murph or another take-n-bake place near you, i highly recommend begging them for a crust on the cheap. It's worth it.

e: I'm looking forward to seeing what you do. I think you're in frontier territory. You could do a pizza with sardine and fennel if you wanted to go sicilian. too weird to live, too rare to die.

goddamn sardines can't compare

Sardines are a little more consistent. Good mackerel is really, really good, though you never know if what that's what you're getting until its too late. Bought a super expensive German brand recently and its muddy dank-rear end bullshit. Whole can goes to the dog.

If you got a brand that's always great, let us know!

When I am cooking with onion I usually use white. If i need raw onion, I usually use red. The white onion flavor stands up better to cooking, IMO, and a (fresh) red is mild enough to use in quantity on a salad or as a raw sandwich ingredient or whatever. Of course, something about my opinion on this probably indicates that I am a huge pussy.

Are smaller sardines like regular King Oscars gutted, or is it like the bones in that everything is too small to matter? They don't seem to be cut along the belly, but maybe they can pull everything out the end when they remove the head. I've never cleaned a fish myself.

I tried some boneless sardines and it was just weird. Sardines without bones is kind of like beer without carbonation.

They are gutted. Apparently sometimes you can get one that still has guts and it tastes bitter, according to mouth-full-of-sardines blog guy. I do not know how they gut tiny fish.

Holy crap, note to anyone in michigan or any place where you have meijer and kroger chains - kroger sells their KO sardine cans for $3.20 each or at least over $3 while meijer sells them for 2 for $5. plain, mediterranean, doesn't matter. I think singles at meijer are $2.50 but I'll have to verify next time

that looks like a somewhat disappointing tin of sardines, friend. I guess when they only put four in there, they probably rattle around more and break up a little in the oil, making it cloudy?

I can't do it yet but I'm trying so hard to eat these god drat little fish.

I got some KO kippered herring and cracked it open the other day. The smell wasn't "bad" but it still set my stomach in a knot. I ate a couple flakes of the fish and even though I liked the taste I had a hard time getting the next part to my mouth. Then I noticed the shiny silver side on a piece of herring and I literally retched even though I know it's not bad, and I like/eat salmon all the time including the skin and I know that silvery color isn't even skin. I couldn't eat any more.

I want to trade stomachs with someone, mine is defective. I'm going to eat delicious sustainable protein sardine if it kills me 2016 is my year to sardine or sardie

Kipper snacks usually are somewhat more "fishy" smelling than good-quality oil-packed sardines. If you bought kippers thinking they'd be "easier," nah. I just threw out a big expensive can of german kippered herring because it made me want to barf. I can eat sardines all day though.
