    I like them mashed with hard boiled eggs and then with buttered bread

    Don't shop at either one, but I've bought boneless skinless Bar Harbor and King Oscar sardines. As they are doused in mayo and horseradish, I have no idea if they are good or not. :)
    So you can just mash them up like canned tuna? The bones aren't obvious?

    Yes, they are boneless, so it's just like eating tuna when smushed. They are darker brown than the non-albacore tuna, so it doesn't look quite the same, and, to me, doesn't look nearly as appealing as tuna, but I'm sure that feeling will pass the longer I eat them.

    Now everybody's got me thinking I should try them with bones in jalapeno and/or tomato sauce.

    For the sardine lovers: The 5 pack of Seasons brand from Costco is pretty tasty (and sustainably harvested).

    Thanks for this info. I've looked for Seasons brand for the sustainably harvested feature, but they don't carry them in any grocery stores around here.

    Since I've also never had an anchovie, for the same "yucky" factor as sardines, I believe I shall buy a can the next time I go shopping. :)

    I've never had anchovies because they're a little more expensive than sardines here. I can pick up HEB brand sardines for .64 cents or Beach Cliff for .88 cents vs the dollar+ I'd have to pay for anchovies.

    The worst canned seafood I've tried was a can of expired crab (I didn't realize this at the time obviously).

    They're delicious with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and EVOO in a salad.

    This is how my husband eats them. (I don't care for them)

    I love sardines. They are not all the same though. Some have really great flavor and freshness. Others are nasty. Quality is usually related to price, brand, origin, etc. So do not judge all sardines by one brand.
    I grew up eating them with yellow mustard on saltine crackers. But I usually eat them straight out of the can.

    I eat them out of the can (if they're in tomato sauce) with rice. It's an Asian thing.
