Tinned fish finds a new audience

I so do like my mackerel.

It's no potted meat.

I love tinned red salmon mashed with vinegar, piled into a buttered white bread sandwich. It is crucial that enough vinegar is applied so that it soaks into the bread a little.

Sounds fairly disgusting, but tastes like heaven.

I eat the tinned sardines, the canned tuna and other stuff.

I see commercials for specialized cuts of salmon and other fishes. I want to order them but seem expensive.

That tinned fish "charcuterie board" at the end of the video, looks really nice.

Maybe it's just the way the Portugese prepare it that makes it look so good.

Almost like tapas.

I add mackerel to "juzz" up instant ramen.

Oh, dear.

YouTube has been feeding me a stream of videos promoting a sardine diet - people who eat nothing but sardines for 48 hours, and the like. Being unfamiliar with these fish, it was interesting enough that I tried it. I bought 2 cans of the best quality sardines I could find, one packed in EVO, one in water. Went for the boneless variety that was recommended for newbies like myself. I wanted very much to like them. Got two fish in on both cans, and couldn't continue. Sadly, they are just not for me. I'm sticking with the hickory-smoked tuna.

Grew up eating sardines. King Oscar. Mom used to make me sardine sandwiches. With mustard. Nothing new to me. Mackerel is similar. I don't particularly care for salmon in general. Mom also used to make crabmeat sandwiches, not just tuna.

I used a tin of flat anchovies on my doctored up frozen pizza today.

That's what I do, R10. There are some pizza places that don't even offer anchovies -- can you imagine!?

I can't eat anything that stares back at me.

r11 - Coletta's Pizza on South Parkway in Memphis is where I first had an anchovy on a pizza and I've savored them ever since. BTW, Coletta's was Elvis's preferred pizza joint.

You don't like giving blow jobs, r12?

I wonder if Elvis ordered anchovies on his pizza? Or did he prefer bananas?

peanut butter

The stuff from Spain tends to be of very good quality.

I love kippers on a stone wheat cracker.

Jack Salmon Balls!

anchovies are the best

Here ya go, anchovy and Elvis fans:

Love all kinds of tinned and jarred fish. In recent years, supermarkets have been carrying a wider variety of tuna, including a couple of delicious Italian brands.

I always keep TJ’s canned trout fillets on hand. And occasionally I buy a jar of herring in cream sauce with onions for a taste of my childhood.

Tuna gives me indigestion

Nope, R14.

But then again, I'm a lesbian.

Are these tinned fish ready to eat, or do you have to cook them first?

Ready to eat and cooked, R26.

But some people prepare a sandwich, a salad, or a relish tray with them rather than eat them right out of the can.

love this guy

Sautéed onions in olive oil, add sardines, capers, salt, pepper ... tossed in pan with pasta.

Variations: + tomatoes, + olives, + a bit of red pepper. Garlic instead of onions.

I eat this all the time.

I like tuna, but I stopped buying the tins long ago. I only but the tuna in the packets now. A lot less liquid and I think it just tastes better.

Why do people keep saying tins? Are you all English?

my dog is allergic to all land protein so this is what I feed her. fresh is too expensive and frozen is frequently out of stock. she loves it. I however am usually a bit nauseous when making it or feeding her

I douche with the liquid they're packed in.

Miss Cheryl, are you still spreading cow shit on the floor of your bedroom, to keep the flies off you at night?

Oh DEAR, R6.

It’s mainly sardines. I’ve had less luck with oysters, crab, and herring. I now have resources to make sure I’m prepping the food properly. I could make another go of it.

OP, why are people watching tinned fish?

The gays here all love fish now. Great.

[quote]But then again, I'm a lesbian.

So you bring the fish wherever you go!

OP- Here in North America we say Canned Fish NOT Tinned Fish.

I eat canned Sardines for lunch every Saturday. I particularly enjoy thenm dipped in honey mustard.

Don't you ever go out on Saturdays?

Chicken of the Sea has these tear open packets of salmon that are pretty good, I use them in salad for some protein. My local grocery will sometimes have them for $1 each and I stock up on them. The salmon tastes pretty good in a salad.

Can or tin, it all depends on where you were raised in the US, and what you grew up hearing your parents say. For example, in my house we always said 'trash bin' or just 'bin' while other households said 'trash can'.

[quote]Can or tin, it all depends on where you were raised in the US,

Perhaps if your parents a British. But in the US, the word is "can".

The word "tin" in the US refers to the metal.

^ are

Buck and Elvis would never say "tinned."

R44 is correct.

[quote]The word "tin" in the US refers to the metal.

What the fuck difference does it make? Stupid queens.

Someone has his knickers in a twist.

My market is all out of tinned sardines, but they tell me the lorry will be arriving presently.

Throw down matches over tinned food is what life is all about.

R51 You seem to be prone to exaggeration and hyperbole.

I've heard it's good but I hear bad things about metal cans and how they are harmful to our bodies.

I used to eat sardines with French bread but something in the texture or look makes me queasy now. Any tips for how to slightly mask the taste while hiding the texture?

Just don't eat them.

You’re not supposed to eat the can. ^^^^^

You can if you are a cartoon Billygoat!

Tinned fish is too fishy.

Even canned tuna tastes fishy, but sardines and mackerel are the fishiest of all.

I just can't.

...because they are fish.

Lesbetarians?

I love canned salmon, ironically i learned to like it when i worked at a summer camp in college. They got gov't surplus food - butter, flour, peanut butter, etc. One summer they got a ton of canned salmon. The cook mixed it in with tuna for sandwiches and i realized the salmon was tasty on its own.

I found a tin of sardines in my pantry and last week i mashed them up with a mayo, minced shallot, salt, pepper, and a little olive oil. I ate it on a toasted brioche bun for lunch all last week.

You might enjoy this recipe, R61.

I've never heard of sardine salad before!

Amazon is bringing out created salmon. Passed through the FDA with a just sign-off in our brave new America.

we'll be remembering tinned fish fondly, especially the ones from Spain that include mussels, octopi and other exotic fish.

Canned salmon is supposed to be more nutritious than fresh salmon. Includes those soft white bones which are supposed to be good for ya.

Here in Boston at least it’s been a trend for fancy wine bars to serve tinned fish, especially rare varieties from Spain and Portugal. I like it!

They have sardines in tins that don’t have any bones. What the point? I hear that the tiny bones are the most nutritious part.

Zips up the back and no bones.

Love these, often just poured into penne pasta and tossed with olive oil.

The only canned fish I eat is tuna.

I was fascinated when in Italy by how much of their "shelf stable" seafood is sold in glass jars. I know you can find it here, but nothing like the variety that's available there. The in vitro tuna is next level. Makes our canned stuff look like cat food.

i noticed how much cute packaging there is now, i think that matters a lot.
