The price of sardines has gone up about 25% this past year.

Now I now why.................

Brandonflation would be my guess.

Mr. Enoch Snow was prescient.

Carrie
Who's gonna eat all that herring?

Enoch
[Spoken]
They ain't gonna be herring. I'm gonna put 'em in cans an' call 'em sardines.

Aha... Gonna build a little sardine cannery. Then a big one, then the biggest one in the whole country. Oh, Carrie, I'm gonna get rich on sardines. Ah!

I mean, we're gonna get rich. You an' me an' all of us...

All this stuff used to be in the Women’s section of the newspaper.

Now the Women’s section and women’s interests and trends, and celebrity gossip, whatever the new health headlines are and the latest diets are what Americans see all day.

My dad would eat sardines on rye bread, with a thick slice of onion

He was not a hot girl, but he did have good skin

I left sardines consumption and moved to canned mackerel. I drain it, remove. Bigger bones, drizzle olive oil on it, smoke it for an hour in my cold smoker using Applewood. I left the canned sardines due to inflated cost.

By the way, nothing better than large fresh sardines and mackerel when you come across them. Don't pay the marked price. Half it and offer to buy a larger lot. I've gotten fresh large sardines for as little as $1 per pound. Be smart.

Why do sardines have to be packed like sardines.

Could they, for instance, be packed loosely like potato chips?

[waterhill]

You can make a very nice pot of Pasta Putanesca with sardines instead of anchovies. Capers and black olives are key.

LOL, I would never in a million years eat sardines, but when I was in the USN and we had been out at sea for a while, the ship’s store ran out of everything except...Sardines!

Out of desperation for something to snack on between meals, I got a can of the sardines in mustard...and...to my surprise, they tasted okay!

Never developed a longstanding affinity for them, though. As soon as I could get something other than sardines, I went for that...:)

My dad used to eat canned sardines in tomato sauce, on saltine crackers. I have eaten them that way occasionally, though not for many years. A little goes a long way with me. I understand the English eat fresh sardines. Does anyone know how they taste? Much different than canned?

[lee martell]

Sardines sold retail should come with recommendations for the top five Super Duper Deluxe Breath Mints.
Altoids come to mind, along with Peppermint Tea.
Sardines are not to be consumed within two hours of an important job interview or a “serious” Date.

One of my long time favorite midnight snacks is ‘Tiny Tot’ sardines in oil, placed on saltine crackers and doused with plenty of Tabasco sauce. Chase them with a nice cold beer...

It’s wicked and heavenly at the same time.

[AppyPappy]

They are like a superfood. I find it hard to eat a can in one sitting.

[SamAdams76]

Sardines are not just for the girls. Men eat them as well.

I have been eating sardines almost daily for 20 years. They are a veritable fountain of youth.

[READINABLUESTATE]

I’ll eat a couple tins of fish a week, Sardines, Kippers, salmon or anchovies.

[logi_cal869]

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.”

next up

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

followed by

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

[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.

[higgmeister]

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.

[Chainmail]

I hated the things when I was a kid - but I started eating them again when I read an article about how good they are for you and cut my appetite.

I like 'em now!

But I am not now, nor ever have been Hot or a Girl.

Great shtf prepper store. Lots of nutrition with a long shelf life.
