Big spender, weighing his options when it comes to those massive $2-3 purchases.

>he inquires about items he hasn't tried before spending money on them

Tell me you are broke and living with your parents without telling me.

Own my house, own my vehicles, own a business. If you can't absorb at least a few thousand dollars in surprise expenses you're not even poor, you're destitute.

But to answer your question, it tastes like every other oily fish.

I can taste your insecurity.

This. Might as well toss in that his dad works at nintendo.

Or his 14 inch cocks that he shares with his wife and wife's sister while driving 500km in his Ferrari 9000

In the end it's fish, but they have their own taste, like a slightly bitter note layered over it.
They're also extremely popular anywhere where they're easily available. Really great fish.

Roast gently with salt and a bit of lemon. Best over an open flame by the sea with friends and beer, but a grill will do too, or even a pan (use a drop of high quality olive oil if using a pan. Really just a drop).
If the skin is lightly crunchy at spots, it's ready.
Great served on their own, maybe with some bread. Also wonderful on a bruschetta (on top of gently toasted baguette. Rub some garlic on it, then put on minced tomato, fresh parsley, and crumbled sardines).
Canned is OK too, you just have to heat them up and they're good to go. Not as good as fresh, but still great.

You make it seem tasty. Guess I'll pick some up next time I'm at the store.

My dad LITERALLY was an executive for the North American division of Nintendo. Go ahead and tell me that's not true too.

Grill them, you won't go back to canned sardines ever again.

We all know the consensus on deenz around these parts, but how does everyone feel about anchovies?

Great ingredient. Bad standalone food.

>>17425080
Maybe it was the brand that I got but it was retardedly salty

He gave birth to you out of his ass.

>>17424340
Try and get sprats way tastier than deenz

I forgot the deenz and now Ive only got chovies

It has a smell stronger than its taste. Fishy, proteiny, and a little fatty. Imagine canned mackerel but a little less fatty and much more fishy but not in an ammonia-way. If you are getting canned sardines for the first time, get ones in oil or water rather than ones in mustard or tomato sauce (those flavors tend to really iffy depending on the brand).

>>17425080
Great ingredient, not so good standing alone. Especially if it's the super salty canned ones. I love them though and use them all the time.

>>17424340
Don't sardines only come in cans? Wtf. Why are these so big.

>>17426196
They only put part of the fish in the cans, and usually use the small ones instead of the nice bigger ones. Bigger ones can get up to a foot long I think. You can buy or order whole sardines, although quality will vary depending on your area. I get dried, smoked whole ones from the asian grocery occasionally. At least I think they are sardines.

I much prefer Mackerel personally. Sardines are a little too fishy and the texture isn't as nice.

Anchovies are fucking life as a snack.
Put them on top of some strong cheese. Aged curated sheep cheese is the best I've found, tastes similar to Parmesano but gentler. And then bite into a piece of hard breadsticks.
