Sardines are one that either you like or dislike. There seems
to be no middle ground. I’ve eaten since I was a kid and have
no problems but I understand that some may not like them.
Mrs. Chandler would cut the shark steaks into cubes, sprinkle them with garlic salt, wrap them with bacon, and stick them onto skewers. I would grill them over charcoal, sometimes over mesquite charcoal.
Wow, they were good.
King Oscar sardines are from the fjords of Norway: https://www.kingoscar.com/products/brisling-sardines/
Yes, beware of the soy oil variety it may turn you into a very unmanly soy-boy.
Thanks for clarification. They are probably canned in Poland, hence the confusion.

I don’t really notice much of a recent change, but like many items (dry roasted nuts, chips or pretzels) I wouldn’t be surprised if the amount of salt was lowered just to keep the Gluten-Frees and Vegans off their backs.
Great story!
I have not seen that brand.
I have actually eaten more anchovies in the last 20 years than sardines. I add them to salads, pizza, and pasta. I mash them up with garlic and tomato paste as an aromatic base in beef stews and similar dishes — I add them to fish stews as well and I occasionally finish off a half a can just with a cracker or two.
I like anchovies too
And mackerel
And fried mullet
That reminded me that I picked up a package of them at Costco yesterday, so I went to the kitchen and opened a can and had a snack.
Me too, while I eat sardines somewhat infrequently, I eat anchovies pretty much every week, love ‘Em.
That's what I just finished snacking upon.
Too many “mights” “mays” and “possibles”. It either does it or it doesn’t. This posting might be true. Or might not be true.
What a wonderful thread! I have loved sardines since the later 50’s onward. Just the olive oil kind. Drained with regular crackers and a cup of hot black tea with evaporated milk and a little sugar. That was my favorite after school or anytime snack. Still eat them and I keep a supply rotated from the pantry, I have a couple dozen cans in the pantry at all times. I do take out the bones most of the time. That’s good to know about the King Oscar brand.
Have you a viable alternative?
They still have the rectum, and all that it is hooked too, in them.
