That is the ONLY kind I like and eat. Delicious on crackers or by themselves. :)
I used to eat them all the time in college, great for taking camping and hiking. They were 3 cans for a buck then; the last time I looked in the store they were $1.89/can.
Ya shoulda axked bout pickled herring too............
Sardines are great, as long as the skins are intact. Can’t see any reason to bother eating them otherwise, since all of the food value is in the skin and the fats they contain.
I’m more of an anchovy man myself:
Saute diced garlic in olive oil until light brown in a deep pan.
Add two cans anchovies AND all oil in cans. Stir occasionally to break up filets.
Meanwhile:
Cook angel hair pasta until al dente. Drain.
Add pasta to garlic/anchovie pan.
Toss.
(Add 1/3 cup capers or so, to taste).
Serve.
Add grated parm or red pepper flakes, to taste.
Mangia!
