Probably correct. I will let you know if I do.

I love tabasco, just never thought of putting it on my sardine sandwiches!..............

Just three ounces of sardines is two grams of omega-3,”

That is a fallacy; a LIE, fyi.

Canning temperatures destroy omega-3. It may have been present pre-canning, but no longer bioavailable after-the-fact.

So enjoy your fish-flavored chicken. /s

“This message provided by the American Sardine Council.”

“The health benefits of eating sardines 27 times a week.”

followed by

“Doctors are saying that sardine consumption causes cancer, impotence, halitosis, and uglification.”

Sardines would have prepared me for a couple of dates back in the day...

[Mount Athos]

You just listed off the healthiest fish to eat.

It’s the ones that have higher fat content...

[Yardstick]

Well I’ll be darned. Who knew sardines could become a craze?

BTW, ALDIs has the 3.75oz tins for 99 cents in three flavors. That’s their regular price.

I have always been one of those picky eater, meat and potatoes, kind of guy. Having said that, I have always loved sardines, and then I discovered kippered herring equally fantastic.   Sardines on saltines with mustard!

My wife doesn't want them in the house.   I have some in the corner turn around cabinet but I have to pick a time when she is out of the kitchen.

When I was a kid, back in the 60’s, we had fried fish patties made of canned mackerel, some corn meal and onions.

Eaten like a fish hamburger!.................

kippered herring....That’s eating high on the hog!.............

We called it “dinner”. Have to be careful not to overcook it, or it turns into rubber, and tough rubber at that.

“ Canned sardines can retain a significant amount of their omega-3 benefits, but the exact content can vary depending on factors such as the processing methods used and the storage conditions.

Sardines are known for being a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are beneficial for heart health, brain function, and inflammation regulation.

The canning process typically involves cleaning, cooking, and packaging the sardines in oil or brine. While some omega-3 fatty acids may be lost during these processes, a substantial portion of the omega-3 content can still be retained.

To ensure you’re getting the maximum omega-3 benefits from canned sardines, consider the following tips:

1. Choose sardines packed in oil: Sardines packed in oil tend to retain more omega-3 fatty acids compared to those packed in water or brine. The oil helps preserve the omega-3 content and prevents it from being lost.

2. Opt for high-quality brands: Some brands prioritize preserving the quality and nutritional value of their canned sardines. Look for reputable brands that focus on sustainable fishing practices and quality preservation methods.

3. Check for storage conditions: Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the omega-3 content in canned sardines. Make sure the cans are not dented, bulging, or past their expiration date. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

4. Consume the entire fish, including the skin and bones: The skin and bones of sardines are edible and contain additional nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids. They also provide calcium, which is beneficial for bone health.

By following these guidelines, you can maximize the retention of omega-3 fatty acids when consuming canned sardines. However, it’s important to note that fresh, unprocessed fish generally contain higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids compared to canned varieties.

Where did you read that nonsense about sardines?

[logi_cal869]

The nonsense is believing that omega-3 survives canning temperatures.

Wake up. Or don’t. My GAS is on empty.

[Track9]

Yes. Delicious.

I love calamari, but my wife won’t touch it!.

I ordered calamari in Berlin restaurant one time, and they served me a huge platter of it, I could not eat it all!.................

That’s basically Pasta Putanesca (pasta of the whore to put it roughly).

Growing up Catholic Mom would make Salmon patties - think salmon burgers, using canned salmon for Friday dinner
