I have recently added 1 -2 cans of sardines to one of my meals through out the week, and thought… I bet someone on Amazing Ribs has favorites in tinned fish, brand wise,
Who has one they enjoy the most?

King Oscar is the brand I choose most often. I like pretty much all of their products. You can see in the photo below I am out of sardines because I’ve eaten them and not yet restocked.
Kipper snacks are probably my favorite (not a sardine). I keep two cans of kippers with saltines in my back pack when I go in the woods.
Saltine crackers, sometimes mustard, and canned fish make a good meal.

The best tinned seafood is still from Spain and Portugal … although the US is catching up. La Tienda is where I get mine: https://tienda.com/collections/seafoodComment

plus….. Fishwife and Nuri are a part of the “it girls” of tinned fish. There’s a bunch out there.Comment

I prefer small brisling sardines in olive oil. Usually get these with 2 layers of small fish in the tin. 4 pack is slightly cheaper.

I have nothing to offer here. But, as I noodle thru various cookbooks, I am realizing that I need to branch out, for umami. for taste, for variety. I have picked up some tinned fish from Costco, but have no opinions, yet. However, in my opinion, the high cost of beef is incentivizing (I hate that word) looking around.Comment

I don't really like tinned fish, yet I will watch this guy for hours. Maybe it's because I got corrupted by the British whilst living in the UK, or he's actually entertaining... you decide.

There’re sooo many out there. Depends on your budget. But if you’re on instagram this guy is hilariously weird and he reviews all kinds of tinned fish.

I like Wild Planet for quality, taste and value. 6 cans for $20 goes a long way. Not sure I could bring myself to pay $15+ for a tin of sardines.

This is a serious sardine fix!
I haven’t tried doing this (yet!) but I’m curious. I’m sure the wife or my co-workers will appreciate it, if what he says above is true.Comment

King Oscar 2 rows in olive oil is my favorite. The Aldis $0.98 sardines (all flavors) 2nd. Aldi brand is a tossup as to what size they will be, but flavor is great, and cheap as dirt. For a change try Riga Gold sprats. They are smoked sardines packed in oil, but if you have on you fancy non hole riddled underbritches, they are good.Comment

Man, this is one thing that brings back recollections of my childhood. My dad LOVED those things, and he taught me sister and me to eat them as well. But my mom despised the smell, so we always went out to the picnic table behind the house to eat them!
As an adult, I have probably bought a can a handful of times, and the wife hated it when I opened them, or didn't take the trashcan right out afterwards...Comment

One of my favorite foods. I have to stop and get them every time I go to Costco. They have two varieties that they offer. The Wild Pacific ones are my favorite. It is the most nutritionally dense thing in a can! Plus, Sabrina hates them.......so I know they will never be eaten by anyone but me.......actually, Ripley loves them too.Comment
