Chovies are better. Nothing like some oily salty chovies with some wheat thins

What are we even doin here

>>20254555
guy lost me when he made a fucking patreon for canned fish reviews.

>>20254555
I have not, nor shall I ever, use chopsticks to eat deenz

>>20254361
canned mackerel (in sunflower oil) is better, deenz contain bones

>>20254573
>deenz contain bones
Bitch, you can’t even feel they’re there.

>>20254609
i know but i still prefer none at all. like mackerel

>>20254617
just pop the deen in half and peel the spine out

>>20254361
>*mogs sardines without issue*

>>20254361
It's also the power of vitamin D combine with calcium from the bones

>>20254630
>with salted black beans
I love this shit. Especially on buttered rye bread. But I heard that this fish in particular is super unhealthy

>>20254753
My mom says the same thing, so we maybe crack a can only once or twice a month.
>t. Chino

>>20254573
the bones are good for u

Mackerel is the superior choice

>>20254361
>Is that the power of OMEGA3?
No, it's the power of estrogens surging through your now feminized body

>>20254367
nah oysters are the best. canned smoked oysters, little hot sauce and a cracker. 2,500% of your daily recommended zinc intake. Creamy, smoky, salty, pungent, everything a man needs.

>>20257839
Stfu, salmon is full of mercury.

>>20258402
Wild Salmon has some of the lowest levels of mercury. Salmon also has high levels of selenium which helps block mercury absorption.

>>20254361
I've noticed a big improvement in my skin when consuming more omega 3. Supposedly it impacts your brain as well.

I also notice an improvement in how I feel after eating liver and oysters/mussels. They're both a lot higher in some nutrients than muscle. But I can't eat them too often without getting sick of them.

>>20258580
thanks for the salmon support
>>20258402
lol get wrecked

If we're talking about non-sardine canned fish, then I'd reccomend this stuff. Really tasty, especially over some rice. The spine is a bit of a textural annoyance but you can cut around it with chopsticks or just crunch it depending on how you feel. Very satisfying.

>>20258580
How good is canned salmon?

>>20259092
What's that nasty shit man?

>>20259449
canned mackerel. There's different flavors.

I mash up half a can of deenz with finely chopped red onion, sundried or regular tomato, and olives. Add a little lemon juice, olive oil and then salt n pepper to taste.

I spread it on wheat toast or crackers.

>>20254361
You fell for the: OMG deenz so healthy meme. Your brain is just responding. But it's all good, as long as it makes you happy.

I like to chop my deenos and crisp them up to use as a topping on lemon pasta

If I wanna get into deenz, what brands should I go for and which should I stay away from?

>>20259785
For me, it's the Season Brand Sardine in Olive Oil. A tender, supple deen with zero flaws.

>>20254361
I eat sardines every day and don't feel happy from it.

>>20259785
>>20259810
2nd for Season, they also do a skinless boneless if you really wanna ease in

>>20254573
Canned mackerel are good and tasty af .
Mash them, add mayo, put with tomatoes and onion and some lettuce in bread and enjoy.
Good healthy quick meal for anyone to make

>>20254361
How they fitted them in the can? Did they cooked them into small before?

just got some of these, best deenz i've had, but now I wonder if there's anything even better

>>20259529
looks pretty good.
>>20259785
I've tasted various cans and the ones I enjoyed the most were probably king oscar sardines in extra virgin olive oil and the polar naturally smoked herring. maybe someone has better choices, but i like a good snack and these provide some good nutrients.

>>20259444
nta but I like picrel even if it's a bit pricy. I mostly mix it into pasta salad but you could do other stuff with it, or just eat it as-is. doesn't beat actual fresh or frozen fish but it's convenient to have around especially if you can't stand canned tuna like me.

>>20259785
the most important thing with tinned fish is to get them packed in oil instead of water, ideally extra virgin olive oil. the best sardines are usually the portuguese, spanish and italian brands. i like to mix it up, in my pantry i have parodi, santo amaro, tenorio, and bon appetit brands. up to you to decide if the expensive ones are that much better than the cheap ones.

I had fresh grilled sardines with a mustard, oregano and paprika dressing for lunch yesterday bros. This fish on Lenten Fridays isn't so bad.

>>20259814
Maybe because you're already a happy person.

>>20260688
Why not in water? What's the deal? It has less calories.
I also like the tomato ones.

>>20262393
I think its the preference on taste, the oils usually enhance the flavor of the fish and preserve it better than just plain water sitting in with the fish.

>>20259785
Start with the shitty brands then move upwards, this way you know what constitutes a quality sardine. You don't have to eat the entire tin, just understand the taste and mouthfeel of a shitty sardine vs a quality sardine. This is the best way to develop a holistic and well-informed opinion about your personal preferences, as well as understand objective standards. Try each one with a Triscuit cracker and bell pepper / tomato slice. Also try them straight from the tin.
Start with Beachcliff, then Season. Move to King Oscar and Riga Sprats, then to Bela. Finally, try Santo Amaro, Matiz, and Nuri. Everything other brand will fall somewhere between all of these.
You will find that sardines from Spain and Portugal are always the best, those fished in the Aegean sea are a close second. After years of eating sardines in olive oil you will get tired and sick of it, I recommend experimenting with sardines packed in tomato sauce and others early on.
Buy one tin each of a myriad of brands and eat the least expensive first, moving to the most expensive. Again, this is the only way to develop a well-informed opinion about your own subjective preferences while also understanding objective facts and why better sardines cost more. Find your own happy medium.
>>20260635
I have been eating sardines consistently since 2018, tried probably over a dozen brands, and have yet to find anything better than Nuri. If you can find them, try Trata in olive oil. The same size fish as King Oscar, but not mushy and full of flavor. If you like smaller fish you might like them better than Nuri.

>>20263965
specifically that flavor too. the spiced in tomato sauce just didn't have any kick to it.

>>20260635
>>20263965
Earlier today i bought 4 variety cans of Nuri , im a noob to deenz, had some smoked riga i liked. I hope these are good.

Guys I've never eaten fish but reading this thread is inspiring. Can u please reccomend some nice canned stuff that I could order online?

>>20254630
Those are uni9nically one of the most toxic Chinese "food" in the world. Literally raised in sewage water and packed in mercury and cyanide.

>>20264551
Matiz has a number of quality offerings other than sardines. Tinned cockles, muscles, octopus, squid, mackerel, cod, & tuna. Because they're artisan products they will be expensive, comes with the territory. Don't forget to try smoked oysters and smoked trout. Matiz is just one brand that comes to mind, of course there are many others with the same offerings of various quality. The shellfish are better when paired with something else, straight out of the tin is a bit much.
Understand you might not like everything, and it takes time to develop a taste for tinned fish.

>>20265069
Thx catfish anon

toasted ciabatta, garlic&herb cream cheese, capers on top. maybe a couple of drops of salsa espinaler or chipotle tabasco on top, its the patrician deen experience

>>20254361
I eat them so very rarely. Maybe once every 3-4 months. But a mood just overcomes me. I get a craving for them suddenly. Buy a couple, and then eat them back to back. I always feel great having indulged. I can't explain it. It feels like my mood is reset. I'm very pleased and content that day.

>>20254630
i saw this at walmart and the can stood out to me like a toxic waste barrel

>>20254567
Skill issue.
>>20254971
Imagine being so low test you feel the need preserve every last ng/dl that your feeble nuts produce

I bought a can of sardines in tomato sauce on a whim the other day. Made a quick pasta with onion, garlic and the sardines today and shit was absolutely delicious
I already feel like I've been missing out all these years

>>20254361
>OMEGA3
reminder to never get those in oil. omega's is all about balance. By getting those in oil high in omega-6 you're negating any omega-3 benefit you might have gotten from the fish.

Those in tomato sauce are fine too.

>>20254630
>china

>>20258580
Mercury poisoning is about selenium.
Mercury preferentially binds to selenium and makes it unavailable to your body, and your brain needs selenium for proper function.
As long as you eat fish that's higher in selenium you don't need to worry.

Mercury poisoning has only ever been observed in places with pollution from factories, never "in the wild". And in places where they eat sharks, whales and dolphins like Iceland and Greenland it's been shown to cause lower IQ in infants when pregnant mothers eat those marine animals.

So yeah, mercury is the last thing I worry about when eating fish.

>>20259092
>non-sardine canned fish
Pickled fish > Canned fish

I always have a pot of pickled herring in my fridge.

Sardines are fine, EXCEPT seeing the spine or whatever the fuck chewable bone is in them. That shit is nasty and ruins the entire experience. Can you get boneless sardines?

for me, it's smoked peppered herring fillets

>>20267204
these are what I get

>>20254617
Is mackerel milder? What am I in for?

>>20267204
> Can you get boneless sardines?
Just buy brands who offer smaller sardines like King Oscar or Riga Sprats (fished in the Baltic Sea), you can't feel the bones at all. Alternatively, you could just buy boneless, skinless sardines or tinned mackerel, but they do not taste nearly as good.
True patricians enjoy the bones and skin, larger sardines with a noticeable spine are indicative of quality. Those with refined palates know this to be the case, hence the cost of Portuguese and Spanish sardines.

>>20267260
I tried these a long time ago, do they have the skin on the bottom? An upgrade would be Bar Harbor or King Oscar kipper snacks, the herring with the skin makes them so much better imo. Good choice nonetheless.
>>20266332
Based. Some of the butcher shops I used to frequent made their own pickled herring packed in cream and with onions, tasted incredible. Pickled herring is the best way to consume the fish apart from nigiri.
>>20267269
It's just the fillet of mackerel with no noticeable bones or skin. Some like it for this reason, but I find it to be dry and a bit bland. Absolutely "milder," it's quite similar to tinned tuna but quite a bit fattier in a good way. Juicy and flaky, mackerel is best consumed when paired with something, not straight from the tin.

>>20267264
goat

>>20254361
kipper snacks are awesome

>>20254361
Anyone tried this stuff? It's delicious, you can make it yourself by blending together a can of sardines (with oil) 2 tbsp of tomato paste, lemon juice, chilli powder and a big pinch salt (it's meant to be a salty paste)

I'm new to deenz, how should you eat it so it tastes decent? I've had anchovies mixed into home made caesar dressing that I liked

>>20268537
>how should you eat it so it tastes decent
If deenz alone don't taste "decent" you need to get the fuck out of here and only come back once you've developed some taste

>>20268557
I've never tried them but I see a lot of you eating them in cream cheese and avocado sandwiches

>>20268537
You motherfucker, sardines tastes very good without anything you retard.

>>20255066
Umm, you're not supposed to eat fish with dairy.

>>20268537
get ones with tomato and spices and have it on toast

>>20268939
This "rule" never made sense to me. There's a lot of fish that go really well with cheese. You just have to pick the right one of each. I can see certain combinations being kinda gross but it definitely isn't a majority. People mix fish with cream cheese all the time for example.

>>20269382
okay buddy, go drive milk while eatting fish. That's teach you the rule fast

>>20268939
Which is why no one ever eats bagels with cream cheese, smoked salmon, or pickled herring, and shrimp fettuccini alfredo makes mustard gas

>>20267344
>I tried these a long time ago, do they have the skin on the bottom? An upgrade would be Bar Harbor or King Oscar kipper snacks, the herring with the skin makes them so much better imo. Good choice nonetheless.
yup skin on the bottom and a nice peppery smoked finish on the other side

>>20270578
At least you acknowledge you're a bitch, but the only way forward is to eat the fish... I have zero sympathy for people who complain about "muh mouthfeel" or "muh texture," quit acting and behaving like a child. I don't eat sardines or most food in general for the taste or texture, I eat for nutrition. Try thinking about food that way and you'd be surprised what you can stomach. Take my advice from earlier in the thread and start with the lowest cost sardines and work your way up. If you're as much of a bitch as you say then try pickled herring first, then kipper snacks, then sardines. Get over it, you're not going to choke and you'll learn to like the bones if there's any hope for you.

>>20270578
>>20281574
Sardine bones have never bothered me but a whole herring with fins and backbone and all is where I draw the line.

Love them, I just get them in bags. Fry em and dip em in hot mayo like fries

any tips on taking the spine out of bone in deenz?
sidenote: i got some riga sprats, looking forward to trying them

>>20259785
>Budget DEENZ
First, it's worth emphasizing that "budget" doesn't mean "bad," it just means "afforable, accessible, and no frills." For this, I recommend Beach Cliff, specifically, their sardines in Louisiana hot sauce and kipper snack varieties. Sardines in mustard are fine, too, but the DEENZ tend to get a little overpowered by the mustard. Spring water is fine; bland on their own, but ideal if you wanna add your own seasonings. Avoid the ones packed in soybean oil; something as simple and nutritious as a DEEN being packed in something as soulless and unhealthy as GOYbean oil is legitimately triggering, but at this price point you're not getting anything packed in olive oil. These are your daily driver DEENZ.
>Decent DEENZ
Season and King Oscar. Mackerel or DEENZ, can't go wrong. In particular, I swear by KO's Mediterranean Style, Spanish Style, and especially the ones packed with jalapenos.
>Nuri DEENZ
Nuri is the gold standard. Taste is a subjective thing, but those who do not like Nuri DEENZ are objectively wrong. You're fucking around at $6 a can here, but they are worth every penny.

>>20281887
The package says it's for pets what the fuck anon

are these acceptable to eat over rice?

>>20282255
Nigga, you can eat anything with rice. Of course DEENZ are acceptable with rice

>>20282255
>>20282532
Oh wait, I'm retarded
DEENZ are better than rice when it comes to nutrition
Rice is just carbs

>>20277527
I usually just eat them on their own

>>20282061
What kind of sardines do you have to be bothered by the bones guys ? Bones are absolutely unnoticeable.

>>20254361
Oh wow I haven't had any in weeks I should stock up on them! Be sure to not overdo them though or you might get arsenic poisoning. A treat they are, but a daily one they should not become.

I got a can of the regular and Mediterranean KO, and I couldn't finish either.

>>20284412
King Oscar's tiny tots remain their best offering. If you frequently eat sardines, you eventually come to understand that King Oscar is a mid-level brand. I tell everyone that Spanish and Portuguese sardines are the best, followed by Greek sardines. Everything else is orders of magnitude below. It's good to start with lesser quality brands though, so you know what makes a truly quality sardine. All this to say yes you've been spoiled by Nuri, Ortiz, and Matiz. If you haven't already, try Santo Amaro. They're about the same quality as Matiz but less expensive. Once you get a taste for the good stuff you can't go back unless you go broke lol.
>>20283345
Eyyyyyy I tried those Spiced Calamari in Ragout Sauce you got in the top box fairly recently, they're damn good even on their own. The Danish trout is great too. How are their other offerings? I also tried the Porthos, they were comparable to Matiz or Bela, with Matiz edging them out imo. Nuri ofc remains king, and you choose their best offering.

>>20265069
is this real?

>>20284464
The squid in ragout was fucking fantastic, I bought another tin of it alone. The other stuff in there was pretty good too but the squid was definitely the standout. I also got some la brujula squids in ink which I've had before but I wanna try them side by side because I love both. The porthos personally I say are a bit below Nuri but not by too much in my opinion. Haven't tried bela or matiz, at least not recently. I bought a ten pack of those spiced porthos for like 44 bucks or something, couldn't help it. I had the Danish trout and their sardines too, both pretty good but I prefer the trout. The sardines were decently smoked small sardines, not a super strong taste on the herbs. My girl preferred them to the trout. Got their mussels coming in soon along with a bunch of other sardines and mussels in escabeche. Never tried any Greek sardines though

>>20267204
Have you considered not being gay? I'm not one of those savages that'll eat a stray spine but if you gobble up the fuckers whole, or blend them into a pate, you don't even know they're there.

>>20267486
This gangsta knows what's up. Take a can of Nuri DEENZ in olive oil, 1/4 cup tomato paste, a garlic clove, the juice of one lemon, a pinch of sea salt, a blistered serrano pepper with the stem discarded (and the seeds, if you a bitch) and blend that shit into a paste, then spread over your flatbread of choice. You're welcome.

>>20254367

>>20278279
"Mackerel" as a generic term is sort of vague, there's a lot of different varieties with very different mercury levels. If you look closely at the pic in >>20258580 it provides a pretty good breakdown. It does make canned mackerel a bit confusing since they rarely specify how it's sourced (sometimes you do see "jack" or "chub" which both have reasonably low levels).

>>20254630
>natural catch mackerel in shoyu + your fermented beans of choice
Superior flavor with none of the cancer or sterility.

>>20254361
god damn it this is still active. how are sardines better than salmon

I am being dead serious here - how can I learn to like deenz? As a kid I had a fish tank I had to clean, and every time I try to eat deenz the smell alone makes me actually gag because it reminds me of that tank and all the fish poop I had to clean out. My body subconsciously fights against swallowing it, like it thinks it's something harmful like a silica packet or a tide pod. Am I just not cut out for the deenz life? Help me frens

>>20289158
Which deenz you tried? You tried dressing em up a bit with lemon and a bit of herbs?

>>20289158
>the smell alone makes me actually gag
I dunno what to say. Deenz don't smell that strong to me and the taste actually gets overpowered by anything I add. For me it's almost like the fish version of chicken, which is great because it's healthy and cans are a good portion for a quick snack. Try a flavored can

Being Portuguese I never liked canned sardines, as they taste completely different (way worse) than fresh grilled sardines, abundant (read: even cheaper) here on many restaurants and festivities. Opposite to tuna which I don't care for freshly cooked but love in canned form, or raw. However since the lockdown I haven't eaten out much and grew to appreciate canned sardines before some meals.

I keep seeing this Porthos and Nuri but never tried them, here Bom Petisco is the most widespread "quality" brand, to which you compare cheaper brands to and buy those instead. Does Nuri not distribute to supermarkets, only direct sales?

Anyway pic related cost less than 3€ total. Cheap literal-who brand, cans are like 1/3rd thinner (in both width and height) but manage to pack the same sized 3/4 sardines somehow.

nta but I've been slowly working through the same variety of nuri deenz. just had the spiced ones in tomato sauce, very tasty, good quality. $6 a tin is more than I'm willing to pay for this to be a staple in my cabinet but they're certainly worth it as an occasional treat

Just ordered a 10 pack of these bad boys

I didn't like macks. Tasted fine, but it reminded me too much of tuna with its dry sort of flakiness. Maybe I'll give it another shot soon

>>20283227
It's not even that. It's a medieval superstition in the Middle East and Maghreb, possibly connected to the high incidence of lactose intolerance in those regions. Ashkenazi Jews eat fish and dairy together with impunity (they're the ones who gave us lox and cream cheese on bagels, FFS).

There's no such prohibition in either the Old Testament or the Talmud. Fish is pareve, which means it's neutral with regard to the kosher prohibition on mixing meat and milk, but one particular 16th century Sephardic rabbi, probably influenced by contemporary Muslim scholars, opined that mixing fish and milk was dangerous to health, and disallowed it for that reason. That opinion seems to be strictly adhered to almost exclusively among Sephardic Jews. Some Hassidic groups do avoid mixing fish and milk per se, just to be safe, but generally have no qualms about mixing fish with other dairy products (the Lubavitchers, for instance, hold that adding even a little bit of butter or cheese to milk makes it no longer "milk").

The situation for Muslims seems to be similar., from what I've heard. There's nothing in the Koran prohibiting the combination of fish and milk (or meat and milk, for that matter, unlike Judaism), but some jurists in the Middle Ages asserted, centuries after the fact, that Mohamed himself had avoided combining dairy with either fish or meat because it was unhealthy, and that it was therefore contrary to the sunnah. This opinion was never universally held, and it's now understood that there's no scientific basis for the health concern, but some Muslims will still avoid the combination anyway.

As you say, Christians (with a few exceptions, such as Seventh-Day Adventists), don't consider the Mosaic law to still be in effect, so it's a moot point for us. And since the general prohibition is mostly Rabbinic rather than Biblical (Moses only proscribes boiling a kid in its mother's milk), I don't expect even most of the exceptional groups make an issue of it.

"Brisling sardines" are not deenz at all--they're sprats. You've been lied to. Open your eyes. Look behind the veil

Had these from ALDI before seeing this thread. Pretty depressed and couldn't stomach anything but buttered sourdough bread, but these were quite good. Quite small for deenz (not sure if sprats), but plenty in the tin with an agreeable taste.

>>20299796

Oh just saw the shirt in the webm, not sure if it references the song directly.
I think the long of the short is that a lot of people who liked the song growing up are now in retirement age, so the song gets relegated to an inoffensive pop hit which is played as filler for the sake of filter.
Already happened with early Rock 'n Roll

>>20300851
It does way "bah bah bah" underneath. Its just been massively overplayed very recently and they're making an otherwise ok song just annoying

>>20300788
Sardines are a general term for small fish of the herring family "clupidae" of which sprats, or "sprattus sprattus" is one of many species. You tards that always argue that sprats "aren't sardines" are just showing your lack of actual deenz knowledge.

>>20305867
Alright it was actually pretty good. I agree with some other Anons about it being flakier than deenz but I still liked the taste. I didn't think it was dry but that's probably because it was in olive oil
TL;DR: I liked it

>>20309738
>$3 a can seems expensive
It's definitely not on the cheaper end. The cheaper stuff will be under 1.50 USD a can (Beach Cliff, etc)

>>20309738
>>20309756
Though stuff under $2 is usually cheap for a reason. Try DEENZ in different price ranges and you'll see what's the cheapest you like

>>20254361
I love how cheap deenz are. I can buy 10 and just chow down over the day. Cheaper than beef from some places

>>20263965
>Start with the shitty brands then move upwards, this way you know what constitutes a quality sardine
Unironically this. At some point you suddenly reach a tier that's completely different and you finally get it. For me it was when I reached a brand where the deenz are in olive oil and actually neatly arranged

>>20254555

what's a good way to add spiciness to canned sardines?

>>20313773
>showed me unironically how to eat
What do you mean? You open the can and eat them however you want. What did you have such a hard time figuring out?

>>20299777
Yes. There is a rotten fish smell that is very potent, and you can smell it at various groceries. I found out that this is more of a "asian and mexican" grocery phenomenon, I haven't smelled it at higher end groceries, despite them having fish and lobster in tanks. Most likely this is a hygiene thing, with western standards beating foreigner standards. This rotting smell is what people call "fishy". Fresh fish don't have this smell.

Also, rotting fish smell gets to be real bad. The Romans had laws about where you could ferment garum because it was that bad.

>>20316057
Swedes love the putrid smell
>Surströmming is lightly salted, fermented Baltic Sea herring traditional to Swedish cuisine since at least the 16th century. It is distinct from fried or pickled herring.
>During the production of surströmming, just enough salt is used to prevent the raw herring from rotting while allowing it to ferment. A fermentation process of at least six months gives the fish its characteristic strong smell and somewhat acidic taste. A newly opened can of surströmming has one of the most putrid food smells in the world, even stronger than similarly fermented fish dishes such as the Korean hongeohoe, the Japanese kusaya or the Icelandic hákarl

>In 1981, a German landlord evicted a tenant without notice after the tenant spread surströmming brine in the apartment building's stairwell. When the landlord was taken to court, the court ruled that the termination was justified after the landlord's party demonstrated their case by opening a can inside the courtroom. The court concluded that it "had convinced itself that the disgusting smell of the fish brine far exceeded the degree that fellow-tenants in the building could be expected to tolerate"

>Eat a can of pic rel

I can add other flavors at home if I want, but if the deenz don't taste good unenhanced I'm not bothering with them. King Oscar water packed deenz taste great.

>>20319672

Also some get really interesting like the higher end Spanish stuff.

>>20319740
>I have never had bad expensive canned fish, I have however had bad cheap canned fish
Of course the $20 can is going to be the best. The thing is diminishing returns are a thing with literally everything. Just like when you buy the most expensive graphics card, of course it will be the best, but you'll pay TWICE as much for only a 10% increase in performance compared to the option under it. But at the same time, the cheapest option is shit
There is a nice spot where the deenz are great but they don't cost $20

Literally doesn't qualify as a waste because the product was good
If $10 or $20 is a "waste" to you, then you really have no foot to stand on as to what counts as a waste because you can find shittier sardines at the dollar store that would be a better bargain than whatever $2 or $3 can you find. Everything can be trivialized relatively.
Point is, poor retard is a poor retard

>>20319693
You're the same type of person who defends mcdonalds because higher quality burgers are "just bullshit and not that much better"

At what point do you take your blindfolds off and realize that both the fish quality and oil quality is OBJECTIVELY better?

I did this for lunch today. I'll use less tomato paste, and cut the lemon juice in half when I make it again, but it was very good.

No because most sprats are harvested from the North Sea and Baltic Sea which are both polluted. They also have a stronger "fishy" taste than Portuguese deenz in my opinion.
>>20301005
You're conflating the scientific term "sardine" with the culinary/commercial term "sardine." The European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus) is the "true" sardine, while the culinary term "sardine" can apply to any number of fish that are under 6 inches in length.

i have been eating the cheapest sardines from the supermarket for years (1$) but just recently due to the seed oil psychosis i switched to the more expensive brand version (2$) that uses olive oil.

the difference can hardly be described. it is like going from cheap and chewy meat to expensive high-quality entrecôte.

now about to order some of those vintage sardines that can be quite expensive but are said to be even on another level

>>20269930
that's one salty slice

I heard of the Deenz meme so I went to the store looking for the "Deenz" brand of sardines but never found it. So instead I bought 1 of these >>20326360. Only after did I realize that "deenz" was short for sar'dines'.

Nicely salted, pretty tasty for a light snack. Bought 2 more this week.

>>20328516
Olive oil is better but my theory is that it's one of the effects and not the main cause of why it's better. What I mean is brands that use soy oil are just gonna be cheap brands altogether, including the quality of the deenz themselves. Basically if you'd buy the "in water" versions of both brands you'd see the same difference in quality.

Any difference between Mabuti and Nuri?
I see online that it's basically the same parent company with the only difference being a change in name, but I don't have much experience with deenz to really know.
