I bet your breath smells awesome.

sardine burgers
sardine toast http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/sherried-sardine-toast-recipe.html

That's about it. I have to get boneless skinless because I haven't gotten very far in my appreciation of tiny bony fish yet.

Right out of the tin, maybe with some hot sauce.

3/4/2014 1:16:32 PM

can you mash them into a paste like anchovies?

I have tried the last one, sardine dill fish cakes. I really liked them. I want to try the fisherman's eggs.

Do most stores carry sardines packed in olive oil? I only saw Soybean oil or water packed sardines at my store.

3/4/2014 1:37:22 PM

I don't

Some times I eat Worcestershire sauce. That counts right?

3/4/2014 1:48:24 PM

I ate them on a road trip one time and spilled the mustard juice all in my friend's car. He was mad

3/4/2014 1:52:09 PM

I like them when they come in hot sauce. Mustard is pretty good too. I prefer without the bone.

3/4/2014 1:56:48 PM

I am pretty sure I usually get them in olive oil. We are out right now so I can't verify that.

3/4/2014 1:56:49 PM

I like them with saltines and Franks RedHot or Texas Pete.

Usually on a cracker with a piece of cheese

I once tried to batter (Ritz crackers) some that were canned in olive oil and then briefly fry them and make poor man's fish tacos. It was so greasy that I haven't tried it since, stunk up the house too.

I've also started dabbling in these:

Highly recommended to those interested in canned fish, but not interested in sardines. Much less fishy, great smoky flavor, but much more expensive.

I put sardines on a hook to catch bigger fish to eat.

3/4/2014 5:31:57 PM

Nope. Tried eating some in mustard sauce once and almost vomited. Can't bring myself to buy them again. The cats wouldn't even eat them.

3/4/2014 6:50:13 PM

Out the tin with hot sauce.

I try to find stuff in olive oil, but most of them at least have some other kind oil added. Hard to find pure olive oil.

^^^Yes! I eat the mackerel, and it is tasty!

my husband loves the one in mustard on toast, but we haven't bought any in a while. time to surprise him.

this portugese restaurant we like has grilled 'sardines'- but these are 6-8 inch long fish. and boy, are they delicious.


^^^^Ritz crackers are really oily.

^ yea I think I can reduce greasiness if I tried it again with a better batter, less oil, and a higher heat pan with less cooking time. Then douse it in some salsa.

I love the idea of sardine fish tacos b/c it takes out 75% of the work of regular fish tacos. One of you better TWW cooks need to figure this out.
