Higher taxes won’t help?
How abut having little boys and girls using the same restrooms, will that help?
I'll bet I'm one of a handful of Americans under 50 who even like sardines.
I wonder if the last cans will be numbered and sold to collectors?
It is the last sardine cannery not just in Maine, but in the United States.
There should be a worldwide global ban on sardines anyway.
Baitfish are unfit for human consumption,
If I had to guess, I would imagine like the global-warming scam in a microcosm.
Lefties and Enviro-”scientists” with funding at stake have created a narrative of “overfishing” and get their clients in Gov’t to put in industry-killing measures, all for their unproven “science.”
It’s just that the sardine industry is tiny, so no one cares.
Always loved them. Wife hates em, so we never buy them. I bet they’re good for you. Omega 3 in there. Sounds like the government is restricting the catch. Seems like there’s always a common thread.
Yum.
My father ate sardines with mayonnaise. I was probably about five or so and I asked him for a bite. He said I wouldn't like them. I had a bite and asked for more.
Our nation’s cities are filled with picky eaters who go into orbit at the smell of an opened can of sardines. If they had their way they would pass a law that no sardines can be consumed inside a building. For me, I love the smell and I love the taste of them.
I had wondered why Walmart never carried a lot of saradines in tins. I guess it was because they couldn’t control the supply line. They have fish steaks in tins but only a very small offering of saradines.
I love anchovies but never could adjust to a sardine.
My sister works there. She gets 2 cans a day to take home. I hope she stocked up, because she’ll need them. There are no jobs around here.
There were massive shoe factories. And the world's largest toothpick factory, as well (it blew up recently, not sure if it's re-opened).
95% is all gone. Mostly chased out by the damn fools from parts south (Boston, etc) creating a climate that's hostile to industry.
'Tis one of the reasons I left the state. Damn near impossible to make a good living there. If you're just getting by, you're way ahead of most people.
I still miss the summers, though. They can keep the winters.
My father grew up in rural Mississippi. They had fresh vegetables in season, frozen and canned vegetables the rest of the year. They had fresh and cured meat, and lots of fish and game.
They thought of store bought food as high living. Until the day he died, my dad always had a can of sardines and vienna “sausages” in his desk at work along with saltine crackers. He loved them.
Didn’t know that sardine canneries still existed in the US. I thought sardines came from Algeria.
Beer Milk Shakes!
Obscure Cannery Row Bump.
All these posts and no one even mentions “blind robins”. Much better than sardines. A note to husbands tho, do not store these in your wife’s refrigerator.
I love the damned things (although I prefer smoked mussels and oysters). I probably should be worried about the mercury, but on the plus side you can tell how warm it is by how far up the redness goes on my legs.
Too bad, my dogs LOVE sardines and sardines are very good for them...
Anchovies too!
Yum!
