If you get sardines in oil I like draining them since I'll likely use them on something that already has oil in it. If in water then yeah drain it.

This. Larger fish like tuna and salmon have higher concentrations of mercury simply due to being larger and processing more mercury through their systems.

Smaller fish like sardines don't have as much of an issue. I'm too lazy to look up the actual numbers, but pound by pound, sardines have something like a tenth of the mercury found in tuna.

So obviously you can't just eat a shit ton of it every day for every meal, but you can get away with eating a lot more of it compared to tuna.

I don't like his pretentious made for camera what I consider bullshit. A lot of it is personal opinion but I see this in day to day work, it has nothing to do with cooking, I wont claim that it is, but the people that sculp a certain look really suck at actually doing anything.

He tries way too hard on a sculped look and there've been way too many people before him that don't really care about sculpting a look that can outdo him in millimicroseconds. They don't care about selling mugs, t-shirts or other food channel bullshit. Plus he's on those compete shoes which are fucking joke, it's like chickens with their heads chopped off all running around with stupid background music and weird camera movements that make no sense.

It's not really him personally, it's that I don't find anything on food channel to be useful anymore. I'm olde style, I liked it when camera's were stable, there was no background music, and there was something to be learned from a program, that's mostly old PBS and BBC stuff.

I'm one of the few people that will read a label before buying it and if I see that it's sardines from fuckin' China I'll put it right back on the shelf and wont buy it.

Some companies actually respond to that kind of message. For instance in canned salmon, they had a nice brand Icy Point I think from Alaska, there were others but also American, then they swapped those out for some made in China shit and fuck that, I wont buy it. I think others thought the same thing, eventually they swapped those made in china fucks back to American salmon and that works.

These threads made me go out and buy a can to try. I am by no means a picky eater and expected to really enjoy them. However, I was surprised to find that I did not enjoy them. The smell was fishy but ok. However it lingered on my fingers for quite some time and began to smell foul after a while. The texture was odd, reminded me of chicken that has gone bad. The taste was overly fishy, in a bad way. I covered a frozen pizza with the remaining sardines and found myself forced to finish it. I did not like eating the actual sardines but enjoyed the flavor it had imparted into the pizza.

FWIW I tried the Goya sardines in hot oil.

Different brands definitely have their own distinct flavors. Try getting a can of smoked sardines, plain, and maybe the tomato one's.

It's fully understandable not to like them. If you really want to enjoy them at the absolute peak of appreciation, I recommend a hike during the height of the summer, at least 3 miles and going up at least 3000 feet or so. Eat the sardines at the highest point of the hike, scooping them from the tin with plain saltine crackers. It will be the best food you have ever had in your entire life.

I like to eat sardines with hot mustard or if I have the shit to make it, this sauce with horseradish, brown mustard, wasabi and Greek yoghurt. I usually eat them by themselves, but they're good with tomato or cottage cheese. The cottage cheese might sound gross, but it's pretty good imo. I'd sheepishly recommend trying it.

You're dad's right. If you use a program like Junkbuster or really anything that shows all the links that are accessed by most websites during something simple like even a page refresh from here, you'll see all the sneaky google links embedded within. They want to make people into advertising vectors. That's not being paranoid, it's a fact. Look for yourself.

swet off onion and garlic in olive oil. add canned sardines and chili. add fresh cherry tomatoes. add fresh basil and toss with spaghetti.

I've never heard of anyone mixing those two, despite the latter being a common flavour.
What's the wine sauce herring like?
Here in Denmark there's something with wine (or rather, sherry vinegar), but the spices (allspice, nutmeg and cloves to name a few) are far more dominant flavours.

I know that feel, dude, I've had gout since I was 24. 29 now. I've had it maybe 6 times. Avg once a year.
Last one was this june, lasted two days.
First one lasted a week, but I was off of my feet and took off work because I was in incredible pain. Second one, I just went to work, because everyone was mad the first time (working in a kitchen means no days off unless you want everyone pissed at you.). I realized that standing on the gouted ankle for ten hours actually helped get rid of it.
Every time I worked with it, it went away in two days. The first time I was off my feet and it lasted a week. Last july I was off my feet and it lasted a week and a half. The third day was by far the most painful experience ever. I couldn't believe it.

I'm going to assume you're europoor, where you have a much larger selection off canned fish, particularly pre-flavored, than here in 'murrica, but when you flat-out state that the cannery makes a better "sauce" than you're capable of it's really hard to take you seriously.

Any major difference between sardines and anchovies? I'm guessing each fish can be substituted into recipes for the other pretty easily

>> No.6743749

>>6743375

I wouldn't consider them interchangeable.

Anchovies are always super salty, and normally are packed as fillets in oil. They're often used like prosciutto or bacon would be, to impart flavor to the whole dish.

Sardines come packed a variety of ways, and are usually only scaled, gutted, and de-headed, so you get much more of the fish. This turns some people off.
