The last sardine cannery in the United States closed its doors for good last month, due to "global competition, corporate consolidations and a general lack of appetite, at least in the United States." But not only is the small, oily, silvery fish inexpensive, easy to prepare, and loaded with things that are good for you, like Omega-3 fatty acids and calcium, it’s also one of the most sustainable fish around: The Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program lists sardines as a "Best Choice" due to their abundance and high production rate. Usually canned sardines are thought of as a last resort for when you can’t be bothered to cook, but reconsider. Here are some recipes......

That guy could pass for one of my brothers.
They are expensive now. Back when we used to have to walk up hill in the snot 5 miles both ways you could get 4 cans for a dollar.
Yum.
My 82 yr old father is probably one of the last people in America who feels “insulted” if you buy him a present.... after all, he doesn’t NEED anything, as he loves to remind you.
So, for birthdays and whatnot, I get him a bag of odds and ends that I know he’ll like but generally won’t buy himself. Stuff like weird spicy mustards, braunshweiger, unusual “pickled” things, and yes, of course, King Oscar sardines!
My number 1 through 7 is throw them in the garbage....lol. Sorry I just can’t stand them.
“Place a can of sardines, a small sliced shallot, a few sprigs of chopped parsley, and two cloves of finely chopped garlic in the warm dish. Add some black pepper and put the dish back in the oven for six minutes. Remove the dish from the oven, break four eggs into a bowl, and pour them gently on top of the sardine mixture. Season with salt and pepper and put the dish back in the oven for seven minutes”
13 minutes at 500 degrees, and the can will either pop or explode. I’d recommend putting the fish in without the can.
THAT is one of the funniest typos I've ever seen ... unless you had a really messy walk :-)
A cardiologist (at a major Boston hospital) once suggested to me that I start eating sardines.I followed instructions for a week or so and then decided “lengthening my lifespan isn’t *this* important to me.” And I haven’t eaten a sardine since
I always keep several can on hand. Usually the ones packed in mustard. Yum. They are great food for healthy eyes.
‘Back when we used to have to walk up hill in the snot 5 miles both ways ‘
Whew.
Walking 10 miles uphill through snot to buy sardines does not seem like a win/win proposition.
I thought my life was a sob story.
God bless you, brother.
OK...anybody else see a potential problem for Obama voters in this first part of this recipe?
Ok here comes my silly question. My father always enjoyed Sardines in the can. I don’t recall how he ate them. Does one eat the whole fish, including tail, or do you cut off the head and tail? LOL
The only fish I can accept is Tuna. They better not stop producing my Tuna.
Better than heroin
Better than heroin
Oh my.
Where I come from, we had to walk in the snow, but never in the snot.
That must have been SOME neighborhood you grew up in! :-)
