Tried sardines.....

dsboohead

.....and they weren't bad. Had a can of sardines sitting in hot sauce. Read the nutritional value and they were touted as being healthy as well as high calcium.
Put them on toast for breakfast so to the store I go to get other flavors. Pleasantly surprised!

Unless they're in Cesar salad dressing I'll pass on the little fishies.

There are many varieties. Packed in oil, they are pretty caloric.

Alot not packed in oil.

1.5 fat in fact. In spring water with hot sauce.

I eat some little fish out of cans. I like herring best.

I love sardines in oil. I also love kippers and tuna.

I choked down some sardines because of the B12. I wish i could make them taste good.

I like herring best too. Sardines are okay.

(I just hate canned tuna, even though I love tuna steak and tuna sashimi.)

Sardines are OK. Much prefer fresh Mackerel

Why do I have a sudden craving for a sardine sandwich on a malt loaf?

It's either that or a sandwich cake oops, cake sandwich, sorry.

I really like sardines, have since childhood. My Dad loved them and they were available in our home all the time. Good nutrition for a small portion, and mineral/vitamin laden.
Think I will have some next week!

I love sardines. I buy them boneless in tomato sauce, spread them on toast and top them with pickled jalapeños. ..:)

I never tasted them until my fifties, maybe 10 years ago. Before that, I looked down my nose at them. A narrow-minded, parochial, and willfully ignorant attitude that I regret mostly for depriving myself for so long of one of the world's most popular, sustainable, and healthy foods.

My first exposure was the Beachcliff brand sold for as little as 69 cents a can in grocery stores, dollar stores, and gas stations. Wasn't impressed. Two brands that changed my mind were King Oscar and Crown Prince. Two common types are "skinless, boneless" and "bristling." The bristlings tend to be smaller and, at least the ones I've seen, have skin, tails, and small bones. Both are excellent but if you are hesitant, start with the skinless boneless.

Having acquired some experience, appreciation, and familiarity, I'm expanding my horizons. Especially sampling less well-known brands and products from a nearby Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Grocery.

I just bought 2 cans. One in olive oil and lemon and lightly smoked. The other is in a marinara sauce. Both labeled wild sardines and scale free. Brand name is wild planet. They were buy one get one free.

So what do I do with them? I was thinking of adding the marinara one with pasta.

When you say you had them on toast, is that plain sandwich bread that's been toasted?

Thanks!

I eat a thin cut eureka whole grain bread....toasted and then smeared light mayo on the bread and placed the sardines on top. I rather liked it!

Cracker bread could be good too
