wow. Never eating sardines again.

>Most people who eat canned sardines just plop the suckers on some crackers or pizza as is because the cooking/steaming process at most canneries softens the bones to the point where they're edible. I, naturally, am one of the few people who has choked on sardine spine and I'm not at all down for a repeat performance.

>Okay, yes, they already gut sardines at most canneries, but they don't always do such a great job. Every time I slice open one of these bad boys, there's at least a little bit of intestine left, but there can also be surprising things like eggs or a somewhat digested smaller fish. The bitterness of sardine intestines is enjoyable to some, but I'm not really interested in eating fish poop.

>So, I'm not gonna lie, the first time I laterally sliced open the tail-end of a sardine to reveal a plethora of fish eggs, I gagged throughout the whole process.

ERM? CHECKMATE, fags
