I almost bought some oysters on sale but backed out, just didn't look appetizing at all. Are they good out of the can?

>>10083287
I've had them. They're alright. I just slather them in hotsauce and dig in to make them a little more than alright

>>10083292
But they cost more than sardines so why bother choosing something you don't actually like?

generic brands

sardines $1
oysters $2.50
anchovies $1.75
kippers $1

I probably won't ever try oysters at that rate

>>10083296
I was curious

Also canned octopus is shit tier, hotsauce barely improves it.

I got a question for you autists, how do you guys eat sardines? Surely they have little bones in them, and I can't imagine you guys go through and debone the sardines yourselves so is it done like a typical fillet where it's cut and then packaged?

>>10083320
The bones are softened to the point of being unnoticable

Eating a sandwich with canned mackerels in tomato sauce right now. Tasty quick and filling but getting pretty expensive, 1€ a can or more depending on offers. Still worth it though, some black pepper and you're good to go.

>>10083308
>Also canned octopus is shit tier, hotsauce barely improves it.
what did you cook it with?

>>10083320
the bones are edible, they're also good for you

Anyone got some good deen recipes?

>>10083280
Can someone post that premium shit with jalapenos?

I forgot the name but it looked amazing

Box was red

>>10083425
Fuck my ass its in OP‘s picture

>>10083320
It's like canned salmon.

Strong growing community.

tfw fried up some 'racha deenz and the smell wouldnt get out of the kitchen for the rest of the day

>>10083516
embrace your new fishy identity and convert everyone else as well
then no one will mind the smell

>tfw deenz are expenses fuck here

;_;

The daily, with some buttered baguette. Really starting to love these Wild Planet deenz. I would recommend them to a beginner for their tuna-like taste. King Oscar are excellent but I wouldn't recommend them to an absolute beginner, they're more a delicacy for the conneseur.

>>10083814
what kind of butter is that? looks like soap

Am I welcome here if I have squid in a can?

We of the Deenz conglomerate request a sub chan /deenz/

4 chan you have 72 hours to comply.

>>10083280
canned tuna is my favorite

>>10084035
Enjoy your mercury poisoning bro.

Anybody else eat their deens really slow? Just noticed I do this. A can can take me 20 minutes to finish, but for other foods I'm a fast eater.

>>10084013
yeah post em picaroonies

>>10084038
I am

>>10083814
I stay away from Pacific seafood because Fukushima. Bela is better.

Never had sardines. Do you eat then whole? Are the bones soft? Do you need to take out the poo poo like shrimp? Thinking about getting them. Help plz

>>10084382
I'm eating sardines right now actually. The bones are so soft you don't even notice them. I'm not sure if there's poo poo, I just eat everything in the can.

>>10084382
The innards are usually taken out so you don't have to clean them like shrimp. The rib bones (not sure if they're called that) are tiny and soft and you probably won't notice them, but you might notice the spine. It's still edible and supposed to be good for you but some people don't like the texture, however it's easy to remove if you don't like it.

>>10084389
>he doesnt know about the complimentary poopoo layer under the deenz

it's good protein

>>10083280
Love the deenz, but they do have a foul smell. Usually eat tuna instead

i have a can of nice sardines , but instead of the normal ones just in oil , i got some in tomato sauce , what should i do with them? i usually just heat them in a skillet with the oil it comes in, but now im clueless

Anyone else eat these? If you like sardines but want something more smoky you should try them. They’re pretty much all from Latvia or Russia though so you may have to check the International aisle or visit an ethnic market that caters to Slavic immigrants.

>>10084382
They are cooked so long that the bones just crumble when you chew them. I recommend bone in rather than boneless for the calcium boost.

>>10084382
Get a fork
open the can
you figure out the rest

Does nobody else eat their deenz out of the can using a traditional sardine hook?

105g 630yen (6 $

>>10084460
I like using them in tomato sauce-based pasta dishes.

I had a can of sardines packed in tomato sauce that was about to expire and made a makeshift pasta putanesca with some leftover ingredients. Turned out okay.

One can fish
One or two ripe avacodo
Sourdough bread slices
Salt

Open and drain fish
Cut and scoop out avacodo
Mix until a paste is formed
Toast or grill bread slices
Spread fish paste on bread
Sprinkle with salt
(it must be properly salted or the Benzene is lost)
Eat during the narrow window of opportunity before the avocado turns to brown muck.

Are there any qualitative differrences between the variously priced cans or do you mostly pay for the brand?

>>10084617
I read "one can fish" as it would be "one is able to fish" and thought it was some stupid poem

>>10084862
Each can of deenz holds a world of difference.

>>10084617
Are you guys all seniors? Is eating like a 70 year old man the new meme?

You guys are all my dad

>>10084961
Old people know.

>All this “drain the fish” in deenz recipes
Are you really supposed to drain the oil? I usually eat it too since it’s olive oil I thought it was good for you

>>10085031
Do whatever you want bubba

>>10083814
>Wild Planet deenz
These are the very best, all flavors.

>>10084474
Do the poles eat this? There is a polish bakery/deli near my house I might stop in at.

>>10084474
I just had these tonight, got them from a Russian import store. They were pretty good. I usually like the ones in olive oil better though.

>>10085096
I've found it at Mediterranean/Middle Eastern stores. The product is from Latvia and is most popular in Eastern Europe and Russia.

>>10083280
I love seafood and wanna get into this, what would you recommend

>>10085112
Don't go cheap the first time. King Oscar are good and widespread. If you're squeamish get them skinless and boneless but the ones that aren't are nearly the same taste and texture wise. You can't even tell the soft bones from a cracker if you put your deenz on one.

hey guys, new to canned fish.
I am trying to get /fit/, and I noticed that tuna has a shitton of protein, is there any reason I shouldn't or cannot eat a can everyday?

>>10084305
good

>>10085187
Cool, what are some good crackers you'd recommend

>>10085211
I actually just researched it over the web, and I do not want mercury poisoning. Could anyone recommend any other cheap high protein canned fish varieties?

>>10085216
I don't go fancy. Ritz whole wheat or Italian herb or whatever the hell it is.

>>10085112
pretty much this: >>10085187

also, if you want something other than just fish on a cracker, try adding some sliced red onion or pickled jalapeno

I'm a big fan of canned eel. I put it on a sheet of tinfoil and stick it in the toaster oven for a bit. Then add a bit of hoisin sauce, put it back in the oven.

Serve that shit over rice with some kimchi and soy sauce, shit is dope.Tastes pretty close to the eel they sell at sushi restaurants.

For regular canned fish, it's kippers all the way. Eat that shit with triscuits or on a bagel. King Oscar is the best. Sardines are good but kips blow em out of the water.

>>10085237
>>10085242
Awesome, thanks for the advice

How are brunswick brand sardines in Canada?

>>10085262
Hit and miss. I found something weird in a can once.

>>10085233
The higher up on the food chain a fish is, the more mercury it has generally. So,,, sardines, sprats, anchovies... pretty much any variety of herring or small fish has way less than tuna (and even some varieties of tuna are ok). Salmon is good, mackerel is only ok.

That all said, the benefits of eating fish usually overrule the mercury exposure you'll get, unless you're eating swordfish or shark or something. You have to eat a fuckton of fish to start worrying about mercury poisoning.

>>10085270
Which brands would you suggest in Canada?

>>10085272
I mean I want to eat a can a day. 20 grams of protein for less than 2 bucks is a bargain, and the perks of no prep time and long ass shelf life are too nice to pass up, but I do not want to kill myself with it. I might go for salmon instead, bought in bulk it is certainly no more expensive, and has the same benefits.

A lot of gas stations where I live sell live bait. Are minnows any good for eating? What do they taste like? Can I buy some and cut the head off and eat like sushi?

>>10085287
Yeah, canned pink salmon is cheap and fairly tasty. Plus they leave the backbone in, which you don't really notice texturally and it adds a ton of nutrients.

Healthwise, salmon is way better than tuna, and probably more appetizing than sardines for some people.

>>10085279
Millionaires, Riga Sprats, and Brunswick kippers (you should try their sardines too).
I live in Victoria and normally get these brands.

>>10084362
>Fukushima
Dude, the amount of radioactive crap that got into the ocean barely registers compared to the sheer volume of the Pacific. You do you - I wouldn't want to swim near the Fukushima coastline or eat fish caught in the vicinity for at least a year or two after the disaster, but writing off a whole ocean seven years on is a bit much.

>>10084961
>You guys are all my dad
Well, your mom did get around a lot back then. Collective fathering is tricky, son, but we're glad that you acknowledge us.

>>10085325
Meanwhile clearly the thousands of oil spills in the Atlantic mean nothing

>>10085293
ya

>>10084474
They're delicious, everyone should try them if they can get their hands on a can

>>10085287
Canned salmon is better anyway, higher omega 3 than canned tuna

>>10085262
best of the cheap brands

millionaires are a little bit better, but cost twice as much

>>10085357
>pampa

Fucking dollar tree tier, have fun with your food poisoning

>>10085412
Where do I get better stuff anon?

Obviously Sirena is the best tuna brand in Aus, but what is the second best or best off brand?

>>10083280
As long as you can get past the initial smell when you open a can, sardines and kippers are lovely.

>>10084474
Best sprats i had so far.

>>10084866
Kek same here until I kept reading

>>10083320
My girlfriend's husband picks the bones out for me.

sardines while drunk y/n??

>>10083308
I love em, i put them in salads

>>10085395
Used to have a neighbor that worked in alaska at a cannery and when he would come home he would hook us up with a fuckton of canned salmon, mostly smoked salmon but fuck its good

>>10083287
Of course they don't look appetizing, they're little weird sea creatures. But yes they're fucking fantastic out of the can.

ive just been getting beach cliff, but i wanna step my deenz game up

>>10083508
Can we refer to the deenz community as a school? Because sardines swim in schools.

>>10086183
>My girlfriend's husband

>>10085031
I had some canned mackerel for lunch today and those last few bites of it on bread sopped with the oil and some hot sauce was fucking orgasmic. That oil is magic.

>>10083280
Sardines are my no.1 breakfast Item
I have them with eggs in a bowl
or on buttered toast

Any one recommend other ways of eating sardines?

Other canned fish I eat
Mackrel, in curry sauce or mustard sauce & plain.

Kippers, I enjoyed them on toast

havent tried anchovies yet

Other than tuna thats all my local store stocks

is this leddit?

I used to be retarded until I ate deenz

>>10086562

I wet the bed last night

>>10088377
I wet the bet until age 16 don't feel too bad.

>must have pissed on 20 friend's beds in my life and blamed their animals

>>10088404
Anon you can wet the bed again with the help of deenz

Found a worm in one of the shitty beechcliff lemon sauced sardines. Never buying them again.

Contributing....

Is this /deenz/ worthy?

>>10088507
I love sardine tins. So aesthetic.

>>10088550
How can a tin be aesthetic? They're inanimate objects.

>>10088579
He meant anemic

>>10083280
Just got myself a tin of deenz in tomato sauce lads, not had deenz since i were a wee lad.

>>10088550
yeah, love em. if i bought them double, i'm making pasta con le sarde and throw some saffron in for good measure. few people understand why i collect them

>>10083287
if you're looking to expand your deenz horizon, I can't recommend baby smoked oysters enough.

They have a wonderful mouth feel, taste really really good, and are fun to eat. They're good right out of the can, on crackers (for me, it's Club) with hot sauce, or even as a great pizza topping.

I almost never browse this board and I can't cook so I have nothing constructive to offer, but one time 6-7 years ago when I was out with some friends, I bought a can of sardines from a dollar store, opened it, and then left it in this little space under one of the massive lights in the parking lot. I periodically checked to see if the can was still there whenever I made visits (which was fairly often,) but then one day the can was gone. I have no idea what happened to it.

>>10083425
>>10083431
Just had these a couple nights ago. Can confirm they're excellent.

I made some anchovy butter yesterday
1 anchovy fillet, minced
4 Tbs butter
1 garlic clove, minced
2 Tbsp parsley
Just whip that all together. Really good on crackers or mashed potatoes.

>>10084617
>Benzene
wtf, redpill me on this

I got a can of King Oscar brisling sardines in olive oil. I usually don't like fish, prefer shellfish, but they were okay. Made a sandwich with onion, vinegar, salt and pepper, and the sardines. I guess I didn't see on the package that they were smoked though, because I liked the flavor at first but near the end of the sandwich all I could taste was the smoke. I'd probably eat them again with a platter of other foods but not making them into a sandwich.

>>10088647
good story thanks

>>10088507
kino

>>10086352
>anchovies
see >>10088655
and Look into making some dank italian sauces with them. Also very good on pizza

>>10088506
All fish have worms bubba, cut your catfish fillet in half raw and be ready to puke.

KINO DEENZ REVIEW

>>10083280
I'm all stocked up, boyz!

I buy the 3 packs of Beach Cliff sardines for $2.88. I like the slightly mushy texture.

You probably made a crow very happy

Nothing like those daily deenz

>>10088404
None of them believed you piss boy.

Praise Allah for these deens.

>>10091009
not olive oil

>>10091009
excellent catch, my friend

>>10091019
this is the only one the store had from this brand and ive never seen it before so i figured why not

>>10084514
what is this flavored with? All the japanese sardines I can find in the US are always either miso or shoyu flavored. And they're almost always sweet for some reason.

>make way for the GOAT boyos

damn it /ck/ i was right about to open a can and enjoy and my last slice of bread molded. no stores open still that sell bread. fuck this

You guys make /ck/ worth it

>>10091101
You oughta keep some crispbread around. No worry of it spoiling.

>>10091048
The one in that anon's picture is just olive oil, I think.

>>10089020

Mirin dude. keep it real. keep it deenz.

>>10083280
>and canned fish
we're winning

>>10091722
Just tried canned mussels last night. Drunk me loved them but sober me forgot. Good enough to make a cheap meal at least.

how do you guys like eating your tomato sauce-deenz? i like a grilled cheese with some deenz on them

Deenz eaten on a boat taste god damn fair.

>>10091722
I prefer kippers anyway but sardines will do in a pinch.

>>10091797
ive never heard of anyone using that as a condiment instead of ingredient

>>10085031
if i have hot sauce, i leave the oil in. if i dont have hot sauce, i drain it.

What else should I put on a deenz sandwich other than just deenz?

>>10091866
I like it. It's like ketchup but without all the fucking goo and salt.

>>10091873
onion, tomato, coarse mustard, maybe some parsley.

i often put sardines on a baguette with feta, olives, cracked pepper and a squeeze of lemon

>>10091870
>deluding your hot-sauce

>>10091873
Mustard onions garlic sauerkraut beets.

right now

>>10091886

If she's pretty hot she probably knows the game.

>>10091981
fuckin bitch i knew she was holding out

>>10091983
You have to turn her upside down and spank her violently. Also, spend money.

>>10083320
the bones are the best part???

I can't believe I bought into this stupid meme
Sardines SUCK

>>10085287
>>10085233
yo /fit/dude. Canned sardines are literally the least dangerous fish you could eat. Doctors say that even pregnant women can safely eat 12oz of canned sardines a week, which is like 3 tins. For an otherwise healthy person, there's no real danger to having even excessive amounts of deenz. I believe that its even safe to have something like 3 tins a day, but I'd double check that.

so this is what advanced mercury poisoning looks like...

>>10083280
i almost got those, but i got chicken of the sea smoked oysters and some kroger brand boneless skinless sardines to eat with crackers, hot sauce and a tiny dab of mustard.

>>10091662
Good thing I don't eat Brunswick either.
I'm a Royal Oscar man.

>>10092215

>>10092215
>he doesn't buy sardines packed in mercury

>>10083280
I tried my first tin of Brunswick sardines just now, it tasted amazing and only costed $1. Will defo buy again.

Also ausfags, are there better brands to get tinned fish?

Anyone here ever pan fry their sardines? Does it come out alright?

>>10092354
Explain your self dipshit

>>10092042
Try kippers instead then. They're saltier and smokier, and don't look like tiny fish. Even my kids love kippers, if you don't then you have a literal babby pallate and should stick to eating mashed peas.

>>10092371
They're a low food chain fish so they're low on environmental toxins numb nuts. Do your own research. We're not here to sell you sardines, they are one of the true super foods and I will eat them whether dumb fucks like you do or not. Only deenz bros will understand.

>>10092465
Anon you didn't have to be mean. I was just confused because I have a low iq and did not understand. I love deenz but o thought you were criticizing them

>>10092363
Mercury is more concentrated in animals high on the food chain. Sardines are low on the food chain

>>10092042

>>10092369
Yeah, it's lovely. I only cook my morning eggs in olive oil or butter so I just buy the deenz in olive oil and pour it in with the fishies. Add some hot sauce and salt for good measure.

>>10083379
I made an omelette and added kippered herring, it was pretty great.

Does it have fiber?

>>10093471
No

>>10091873
spinach

Anyone know of a good way to cover up the fishyness? I really want to like sardines but damn are they strong. I've only ever been able to eat them when I'm thoroughly trashed

>>10093808
mix in pasta instead of shrimp/chicken

>>10093818
im trying this right in in a diff thread. sauce is still breaking down

Do deenz make anyone else randomly shit those pants? I'm just asking for a friend.

>>10085262

the herring fillets are also delicious

>>10093918
