Gosh I love sardines! My Gramma would buy the sardines (sprats) in oil and we would eat on buttered French bread. It’s been a while! I know what I am requesting next time I go over to her house!1

I love the Wild Planet ones that come packaged in olive oil. I usually drain the oil off, sprinkle a little extra sea salt on them, and dip them in ketchup. Sometimes I'll eat them with nutritional yeast too. Sounds gross, but it's super yummy!1

I like them, just wish I could find them deboned. Yuck.0

Nutritional yeast just sprinkled on top?? Interesting combo!0 -
I love sardines. Try them mixed into a saute with nicely caramelized onions and soft scrambled eggs. Eat with crusty bread. So delicious.1

These are great if/when you can find them.
Had them once at a restaurant. Big fat ones, tasted like mackeral. Not tin/mushy tasting like canned. They were great!
Haven't ever seen them fresh in my area. Would buy some if I did.0 -
Mashed up, in tomato sauce, salt and pepper and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Piled onto hot buttered wholemeal toast. Grated cheddar if you're feeling cheeky.2

I eat 'em on Triscuit crackers with mustard - bones & all0

Last night for dinner, I cooked/heated up a can of wild caught sardines in olive oil, fried them with chopped artichokes, diced garlic pickles, tomato paste, fresh garlic and red salsa, ...topped them with hot chili garlic sauce...and added black beans and cooked bok choy on the side! Protein powerhouse, cheap and good! I always have to dress them up extra good due to how fishy that can smell and taste.1

Put them on toast for breakfast so to the store I go to get other flavors. Pleasantly surprised!
I love sardines. I buy them boneless in tomato sauce, spread them on toast and top them with pickled jalapeños. ..:)
Oh, I will have to look for this. I don't mind the taste of sardines but have texture issues with the bones. I didn't know they sold them boneless.
Look for these. Not much more than the "run of the mill type", but great quality.
I second that!
this brand:)) 0 -
Just opened a can of sardines for a late night snack last night.
It's a cheap brand - - Pampa - - packaged in water in a large 7oz (wet) can that I buy at my local Dollar Store. They use big fat sardines that weigh 1-2 oz each. Two sardines in the can; net wt is about 4 oz.
I just rinsed off the fish, drizzled a tbsp of good quality EVOO over them, seasoned w/salt & pepper and topped them w/pickled jalepenos that I made myself. Just drank some black tea w/them. Tasted great to me.4 -

Me too. Love them fresh, but I almost never see them here.0 -

There may be an added bonus! I have a dog with advance kidney failure. Many of the treatments that benefit dogs are rooted in human studies. Sardines are a food that I feed him...as part of his low phosphatase food plan.
Even in humans, phosphatase is a contributing factor to kidney issues (generally, white meats and fish are low in it, red meats are high with it...rabbit, lamb and goat as well as some animal organs (like cow brains) are also low).
They also have other nutritional benefits but have a sardine a day for kidney health!0 -

This statement does not make sense.
Are you talking about foods that raise alkaline phosphatase (ALP)? Because ALP has to do with the liver (hepatic), not kidney (renal) system. Or did you mean foods low in phosphorus? That would make sense if you are talking about chronic renal/kidney disease (CRD/CKD) in human, dogs, or cats.
But then your food list does not make sense if you are talking about foods to limit/avoid completely when on a CKD diet. Low phosphorus diets must be, by nature of the beast, low in animal based protein (exception: cats because they are obligate carnivores) because animal based protein is high in phosphorus. The three red meats you listed as okay - rabbit, lamb, and goat - are just as "bad", if not worse, than beef or chicken in terms of phosphorus content. Some fish, too. *Sardines are on the high phosphorus list of foods to avoid, not feed (source: https://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/phosphorus).*
If what you wrote is what you believe/currently understand things, I urge you to consider scheduling a follow up consultation appointment with your routine veterinary care provider to get a clear list of feed/do not feed foods for your fur-kid with renal disease regardless of the chronicity (acute vs. chronic). If s/he still insists feeding daily sardines is A-O.K. on a CKD diet, you should request a referral to either an internist or a board nutritionist.
Also, eating bovine brains outside of very, very young calves brains is not really a great idea in the age of prion diseases. For any mammal, not just humans.
OT? Maple glazed boneless/skinless sardine fillets (water packed) make a pretty darn good breakfast meat alternative. Don't try the Bar Harbor brand maple ones - they are pretty gross and taste only vaguely of maple. But making your own similar to how you would for maple glazed bacon were pretty good!

I always thought sardines were disgusting. But one time I got a free pizza and it had everything on it and I was eating it and was like WOW what is this nice crunchy salty stuff it tastes so good. I thought it was some type of sausage at first until my boyfriend said "nope thats sardine". Couldn't believe I actually liked them lol.0

I love sardines. Sardine Pate is easy to make. I like spaghetti marina with sardines and capers.0

I've had a big can of Mexican sardines for several months. You folks have convinced me to open the darned can and proceed to consume them.3

use that wasn't anchovies? they are terrific on pizza but sardines aren't usually salty. more just a rich, oily taste that puts some people off.

Mexican sardines reviews are a mixed bag. You would have to provide a name/style before research would be possible to determine if any of the reputable sardine reviewers feel are edible or not. There's 1-2/5 whose guidance I used in my own trial phase and so trust their opinions.0 -
