Is there any benefit to eating tuna or salmon from a can vs. from one of those little envelopes (no can opener required)?
How did paleo man living mid-continent obtain this necessity?
How many fish per year did he need to eat to survive?
Anchovies disgust me ... that’s the only answer I can give regarding anchovies.
I don’t know how long sardines packed in oil last ... I’ve never had them around long enough to go bad. I could reserve a few cans for experimentation and get back to you in a few years. Or decades ...
Don’t forget the high purines for those of us that bless with gout.
“I’ll step out into the street and get hit by a bus.”
That’s because, at age 112, your failing eyesight didn’t see the oncoming bus and you weren’t spry enough to jump out of the way. But, hey! You had 112 great years!
That said, fatty fish is good for you. Smoked herring, also known as kippers, is delicious!
According to the article, ‘Flaxseed, chia seeds, walnuts, olives and eggs are other known sources of omega-3’
Other articles indicate kidney beans, black beans and
pumpkins. It would be interesting to know about organ meats, but I haven’t found that yet...
I have no claim to be an expert on mercury levels in fish, but I want to share what I have read on the subject.
The bigger the fish, the more mercury there is, since these bigger fish are at the top of the food chain in the ocean.
Smaller fish, like sardines, are much lower on the food chain, an d have fat less mercury, and are excellent sources of the desired omega 3s. Eat 1 or 2 tins a week, and you are good to go.
Check it out for yourself to check the accuracy of my information.
Up until Covid, walmart carried bumblebee smoked trout for less than $2.00 a tin...it was very good with just a little salt or a light spread of honey mustard. It was a regular staple of my diet and I ate a ton of it. Since Covid the price has more than doubled and I refuse to play what they’re asking now.
How about canned tuna?
I eat canned salmon at least once every week. It too, is a ‘fatty’ fish. In addition, since the CCP-Coronavirus scare, I take zinc, vitamins B-12, C, and D, omega-3, and a number of other supplements.
I live in what is euphemistically called ‘shared accommodation’. The latest version of the CCP-Coronavirus, ran through the house over the last several weeks. I did not get it or, if I did, I didn’t even notice any symptoms. I never took any of the ‘shots’ but eventually, did get the ‘Omni-chron’ variant (as PedoJoe called it) about 18 months ago. That I didn’t get it this time, I put to immunity T-cells that are long lasting. The supplements that I take have also helped to fend off other colds and flush.
Over all though, I thank Yeshua Mashiach, who protects me and will keep me breathing until the time of His choosing, as with all of us.
I agree with you, and while I have learned to eat my sardines directly from the can with a little lemon juice or ACV, there is recipe I make for my daughter who is totally turned off by the appearance of the sardines in their tidy little can.
I doctor this recipe up according to our own preferences, and you can do it too, after trying the basic one out first.

People forget that part about healthy living.
Vienna Sausage is made with CATS!
....Charlton Heston, Soylent Green...LOL.
I’m noticing a pattern. The worse it tastes, the better it is.
I buy frozen pizza...and add a tin of anchovies. Looks kinda nice, too. Then I use the oil for my salad.
