bros, I think I fucked up.
I just went to an Asian grocery store and bought a bunch of canned fish; grabbed one of everything in an orgy of deenzquisition.
It all had jap writing on it, but most had import label stickers of ingredients in english (I'm in the US, so that's the law here for imported food).
Half were labeled sardines, but the other half say "saury".
WTF is saury? Is it good? bad? will I die if I eat it? get mercury poisoning?
Also, I've heard that North Atlantic deenz are good; asiatic ocean deenz not good. Is this just a meme, or should I not buy canned fish from Asian grocers?
Sorry if I'm overreacting, but I don't want to die or get fat.
Also, what about ME/NA canned fish distributors? There's an awful lot of Arabic/MidEast grocers popping up in the US with their own deenz and I'd love to try. Most seem to be from Morocco or Tunisia. Suggestions, tips?
God, I wish I was dead. Why did I do this?

Oh, also, most everyone recommends extra virg olive oil. I noticed that asian deenz often have soybean oil. This an issue?
