They're really great on pizza. One tin of sardines is good for 2 or 3 slices. They're also really good on some garlic bread.

I like them better than anchovies because imo they have more flavor and arent as salty. It's weird that pizza joints don't offer sardines as a topping, they're all programmed to offer just anchovies.

I don't know about healthy or sustainable, but they taste pretty good.

Treat them like canned tuna and you'll be fine. Personally, I prefer them without the heads, but to each their own.

I also like to fry them up in a bit of oil in a pan (not the oil they ship in, that shit tastes awful), and add some garlic and a bit of hard cheese, mix all that up and eat it on rye toast.

Great, as long as they are packed in oil or water. Also, don't bother with anything that isn't from Spain/Portugal/Canada, I find products from these countries to have more of a meaty tuna flavor;everywhere else bland or bitter. Norway and Morocco have nice products, but those are usually packed in mustard or tomato sauce to cater to regional taste which I personally don't enjoy. I eat mine on white bread or crackers with hot sauce and dill.

It's different. I think anchovies make more of a background flavor in a tomato sauce, but a can of sardines are more of a forefront flavor.

I don't mix them, but for instance if I'm making a sauce that calls for sardines I'll add a whole can into the sauce then once the sauce is done pour that over the pasta.

Only the ones in oil or water though, as another anon said, those are the best ones, don't get the ones in something else like mustard, those are pretty nasty.

How times have changed. In the 50's Sardines had their own dinner ware. From custom sardine servers to special sardine bowels and custom key openers. All cookbooks mentioned and had sardine recipes. The East coast was known as Sardine land, the west coast, cannery row. Now the mention of sardines relates to images of hobos and ghettos. They are beginning to make a huge comeback in the health conscious and environmentalist conscious people.

Well, first of all, usually all mushrooms should be boiled thoroughly before even starting to cook anything with them. Well, technically not all but most. You should realise that mushrooms take in all the pollution and crap, so it is a wise safety measure even when the mushroom is edible just like that. Then again, if one has a favourite spot and all the, he can prolly estimate the quality and such without even tasting. I myself like to always be sure.

Previously from that you, you of course take your mushroom knife and you mushroom brush and remove the dirt and bad bits. Then, the actual cooking bit, mushrooms stay good for about 1 to 3 days after picking in a refrigerator. The taste reduces, though. Mushrooms should be always prepared as fresh as possible. I personally usually season and dry some species and cook some right away. There's nothing like fresh mushroom salad.

>mom look I'm talking out of my ass

No point in arguing with you though since you're only fooling yourself.

Fish is extremely popular here.

It was shunned for a time in the 70s-80s because of the large Catholic population that force fed grossly cooked fish to their kids on Fridays.

However now sushi, crab boil, and fish in fine dining are all extremely popular.

If anything the flyover states eat a lot of fish because many hunt and fish as a leisure activity.

not nearly as popular as fast food and shit-tier chains

I think it helps if you have a regional culture supporting the consumption of fish, like the crab boils. in my personal experience of growing up in a cultureless vacuum, the only two types of fish were fish sticks and tuna casserole. bland and creamy is appealing and easy to market.

That stuff is awful. It seems that it's legal to advertise products with liquid smoke or whatever added as "smoked" even if they are not literally smoked. Actually smoked canned fish is great and only a little more expensive, the sort in artifically smoke flavored oil are terrible.

Why do a lot of people tend to go for bottom feeders or cheap fish? There's a lot of seafood out there, but when I travel to this part of the world it seems as if people are just discovering "sardines" and "tuna" and their benefits.

I heard that most people in America eat tilapia because it's bland and doesn't have a "fishy" taste and smell to it. It's also cheap and is used in a lot of products.

Because they're cheap bro. Not everyone can afford high end fish.

>>I heard that most people in America eat tilapia because it's bland
We don't eat it because it's bland. We eat it despite it being bland because it's cheap.

>>6604720
>>refrigerate fish
And that's done. But the farther from the coast you get the more expensive things become, and therefore less prevalent. For example, I used to live in Seabrook, TX. I could get freshly caught (as in still kicking) jumbo shrimp for about $5/lb. Drive a couple hours inland to Austin and suddenly those same shrimp--not as fresh---are now $20/lb.

>>Can
Yeah, but most canned seafood tastes far far worse than fresh. And while there does exist very good canned seafood it's also expensive.

I don't think that particular variety is special in its cheapness, among farmed fish. People like the 'mildness' ie blandness. My grandparents can vouch for that.

>> No.6604793

I can't speak for everyone, but in my area Tilapia is by far the cheapest fish you can buy either fresh from the "seafood counter" in the supermarket, or in frozen fillets. Catfish comes in next, and then it goes up from there. Tilapia is cheap and widely available because it's easy to farm.

Perhaps some people like the blandness but I don't. In fact, I find it confusing. I'd much rather have a more flavorful fish.
