I'd imagine the prejudice against canned fish is less severe since it was the only option for people living far from the coasts.

Canned pork is oftentimes filled with salt and chemicals, read the ingredients.

Meanwhile sardines will be
Sardines, water.
And that's literally it. Granted some brands put seed oils and salt but you can find fish tins with just fish and water or fish and olive oil, no added sodium or anything to "preserve color and taste" spam has way more than just pork and water.
Granted tinned fish is kinda bland and just mush, so no preservatives comes at a cost.

Hate to break it to you, but most olive oils contain oil from the flesh and from the seed. The whole olive is crushed to produce the oil.

[Anonymous No.19696261]

there’s no commonly available producers of canned pork/beef that seem to care about quality, all you have is shit like corned beef hash that smells and tastes like dog food. There’s a good amount of tuna and sardine canners that use quality ingredients and it shows in the final product

[Anonymous No.19696265]

>>19696253
Well I usually get sardines in water and cook with butter or lard so I'm okay there. Only really use olive oil for focaccia or other Italian dishes.
Regardless, the problem with most seed oils is when they're treated with chemicals to remove waxy substances or heated up to remove impurities, good olive oil is cold pressed and so gets neither of those.

No, in the same way "adding water and chemicals" wouldn't be

[Anonymous No.19696363]

>>19696306
I mean when looking at spam the majority of the chemicals are just various forms of sodium. And the rest is sugar. So it is a bit redundant.

ironically the smaller the deen the higher the quality. espanaler, fangst, and ramon pena sardines are legitimately gourmet quality

[Anonymous No.19696562]

The ultra homogenous super processed texture is unapealing, meanwhile sardi es are usually whole. Even when processed there's recognizable flaky fish flesh. If canned pork was more of a pulled pork texture it wouldn't have such a bad rep.

Not quite true actually. Anyways, it varies depending on brand, just like with canned tuna.

what kind of quality olive oil is used in king oscars?

[Anonymous No.19696813]

>>19696783
it’s listed as extra virgin. quality seems good, though impossible to really tell because it picks up the aromatics and flavor from the fish by the time you open it. the sardines are packed tightly enough in there that you maybe get 2 Tbsp in the whole can so it’s not incredibly cost prohibitive

A better use than fitting PERFECTLY into those little cans? What could possibly be a better use for sardines? Why cut up bigger fish when those are the best size for the cans?

Do you have any opinions that aren't clouded by what dipshits on this website might think of it? This is NOT the real world, anon. Foods and ingredients has been around for generations and aren't "memes" to the entire world. People who post here often have no fucking clue about anything that takes place in the real world. Look how often jews and conspiracies play into all these simple food topics. Now go talk to 20 real people in the world and notice how absolutely none of them will mention things like that. And I know some of you think that they're thinking it, but they're not. The rest of the world is not reflected on 4chan. It's often the ugliest thoughts of the worst people, but still thoughts that would not be articulated anywhere but here, and even here not in sincerity.

>clean animal
From the perspective of fictional religion, pigs might be dirty and fish might be clean. But from the perspective of reality, fish are literally the most polluted animals that live on the planet. They are loaded with heavy metals and other toxins.

The problem is linoleic acid (LA). Extra virgin olive oil still contains much less than cooking seed oils, it also has more anti-oxidants and comes in dark bottles to protect it from UV.
Fish has omega 3s which cohnteract some of the negative properties of omega 6s like LA.

Still not ideal as the LA contents is still higher than coconut oil, tallow or butter, but if you eliminate all regular seed oils sources adding some evo olive oil isn't going to kill you.
The dose makes the poison.

They're high in arsenic, buy a better brand. Anything that isn't from Morocco or Norway is probably safe.

>>19696783
It's bad. You're lucky if it's even really olive oil and not some kind of 50% canola blend. As a rule you never want to get your fish in oil, especially when it's already an oily fish to begin with.
