Fresh - grilled with a squirt of lemon.


Canned - right out of the can sometimes with saltines.

In the can, packed with olive oil, drain and flip out on a plate, drizzle with some good olive oil, cracked black pepper... a little balsamic vinegar is I'm feeling fancy.

Or if I'm not feeling fancy out of the can over the sink. :D

I love kippers but don't consider them sardines... maybe they are extra large smoked sardines?

Kippers, herring, sardines, rollmops, pilchards are all basically the same fish of different ages and preservation techniques.

I enjoy sardines.... in oil with green chilies, or in Louisiana hot sauce, or just plain.
Good on saltines, and good "straight up".

Mmmmm.....

Pickled herrings in sour cream with onions. Smoked on a bagel w/ cream cheese - needs a slice of tomato and onion too.

Mostly though I catch 'em fresh off the pier at Cedar Key using a Sabiki rig, and use 'em for bait.

Love 'em!

On toasted rye bread, with olive oil or some mayo plus fresh cracked pepper or a little sprinkle of balsamic....just yummy! I also love herring and anchovies too ....same way!

They're loaded with Omega3s.....great for the heart AND the eyes too!

I like fresh sardines a lot. I pan-grill them if I get them, and make a persillade or something similar. Eat on toast, optionally.

When it comes to canned fish Spanish or Italian anything will be the best you can get anywhere. Not cheap, but fantastic.

Boquerones (white anchovies) are wonderful.

local cubans eat them alive

we had a big elevator boat lift at the boat yard
and when the fish were running sometimes there would be a few to a few hundred
caught on the lift
the cuban workers would grab the still flopping fish and chow down

No. I just don't put them in my mouth...that's how. I will put them on a hook as a last resort if I run out of plastic worms....hasn't ever happened :)

I wasn't exposed to them except that one time until many, many years later, my wife had some out of the blue. I'm adventurous, so I tried them. THey are one of those foods that if you aren't eating them, kind of smell bad, but if you are eating them, are quite yummy much like canned tuna).

I usually eat them on a cracker with a little mustard. My wife uses mayo.

We've got some chipotle mayo that I think I'll try them with.

My favorite so far are the King Oscar's.

They are nice and small. I think you get 10-14 per can. I've had some where you get 3-4 big ones in each can. I prefer them small.

So, how do you eat your sardines?

Mustard and ritz crackers.

King Oscar in mustard on rye bread. Can't find those anywhere though.

I've never had a good sardine in the US and I've tried. Go to Europe for real sardines.

King Oscar sardines are caught in Norway and their production facilities are in Norway and Poland. Have you tried them?

Really, I'm in Wisconsin and I find them in all the stores I go to. I saw them in Copps, Pick 'N Save, and Target this week.

Haven't seen them anywhere around here in years. Mind you, I have not scoured the Earth for them, but every time I've thought to look, no luck. Even Amazon shows them as N/A.

The canned sardines we used to buy when I was a kid still had the guts inside. I loved them & can't seem to find any now days that still have the guts.

CurtEgerer 03-31-2017 12:26 PM

I brush my teeth with it. Doubles as a breath freshener.

I used to get them grilled in the UK with new potatoes and mustard. I love them on crackers too. They're very good for you.
