whats the best way to eat these? im used to tuna packets and i mix that with mayo on toast. for deez do you put the whole fish on a cracker? toast? mash it up with mustard? mayo? i wanna learn to do it right
is it a breakfast food or lunch?

>>16303988
That's the beauty, there's a million ways to do it. They work for all meals of the day.

Personally, I'm happy to just eat them right from the can, especially the ones that already have a strong flavor in the packaging. But like you said, spread over toast or crackers is also a great way to do it. Mixed with vegetables like tomatoes, onions, olives, is also good (and you can often find sardine salad with pre-mixed veggies, like Provencal.)

One good recipe is 'Fisherman's Eggs.' Heat an oven to about 400 degrees. You line a ramekin with some cooking oil, then mix in some sardines (really any kind of fish works), garlic, onion as you like. Put those into the ramekin and bake for about ten minutes. Take it back out, then crack a few eggs over the top of the mixture, and cook for about 10-15 more minutes. Just keep an eye on the eggs to see when they're cooked to your preferred doneness. Real easy recipe to make, fantastic macros, and delicious too.

Fisherman's eggs is the best recipe for beginners.
That's how I eat sardines for the best part of 2020 and I learned to love them easily.

Now I just eat them straight from the can with salty crackers and mustard, I can't believe there was a time when that combination was something that I couldn't digest.

>>16303988
i like to make a quick deent sauce for my pasta with just the deenz oil, onion, garlic maybe chili or some arugula added. degalzed with white wine

>>16303904
I don't eat them as often as I should, but I enjoy them from time to time.

happy saturdeenz

Pretty cool that Tobasco was apparently a universal brand even 110 years ago.

>>16303904
moroccan deenz like picrel - a threat or a possiblity?

>>16304475
Well they have been making it since right after the Civil War.

I got some Mexican brand and forget to look at the back and of course it’s soybean oil and 440 calories. Big mistake

>>16304541
Morrocan ones are middle-of-the-road. They're decent as long as you get olive oil, not as good as European ones, but better than bad ones like Chicken of the Sea. Personally I buy Sultan brand sometimes.

>>16304541
Probably good. Ultimately, you just want to know what seas the fish were sources from, and generally I understand the Mediterranean to be a good and clean source of fish. I'm told that Baltic fish, on the other hand, tend to be more exposed to pollution.

>>16304541
pretty good, especially given they usually go for much cheaper than other places of canning

Am I an idiot for eating these? Theyre absurdly cheap like 85 cents a tin. They’re Thai apparently

>>16304672
>eating anything coming out of water anywhere near China

>>16304672
in general ive found cheap sardine cans to have spine bones in it while better brands dont

>>16304672
Yeah, Like I mentioned before, the source waters of the fish are the most important thing when it comes to quality, and Asian waters are polluted as all hell. That's why they're so cheap, among other reasons.

>>16304678
That's just more nutrition.

>>16304674
>>16304683
I imagine the pollution levels dont impact the sardines that much as theyre low on the food chain but yeah youre right, guess ill have to pay out of my ass to eat deenz

Just bought these. Plan on just having them on top of salad with oil and vinegar, salt+pepper, onions, olives, and either goat or gorgonzola cheese. Trying to eat better these days.

>>16304672
>>16304683
>That's why they're so cheap, among other reasons.
The main other reasons being that they're in saltwater instead of oil, and distributed by none other than Wal-Mart.

>>16304711
I miss when liberals occupied all their time bitching about walmart. To think that was a paradise compared to the 2010s and 2020s.

>>16304674
>>16304683
That sheds a new light on the whole "Chinese fishing boats encroaching on the Philippines" thing.
They're not just greedy for more fish, they want those sweet unpolluted far-from-China fish.
Fuckers.

>>16303988
Checked, here's a recipe I just tried out the other day. I mash up some red onion, garlic, salt, spring onion and oil from the sardines in a pestle and mortar, then add that to my deenz that are sizzling away in a pan in the oil it comes in. Cook until fragrant, then slap it on some nice golden brown toast. One of the best knock up lunches I've ever made for next to nothing price-wise.

sounds good, cheers deenzm8s

deenz n beenz

white beanz specifically

ae?

>>16304576
is chicken of the sea bad? I was pretty happy to find they didn't have the cat food taste of most bottom of the barrel ones. They have the same neutral/nothing taste of king oscar

>>16305583
Well, maybe it was wrong to disparage the brand, all I know is:
1) Their tuna is the worst, dry catfood
2) I tried 1 tin of deenz and they were fishy and had a lot of fin/tail and were very small deenz
3) I tried that tin because it was all my grocery store had

However.... Chicken of the Sea has like dozens of different kinds of deenz though (pic related) so it's entirely possible some of them are good. I don't consider them a "good brand" though because they put out a lot of bad stuff.

Why do you kooks continue to buy the one layer sardines? Less fish for the same amount of $ as a two layer, sometimes the one layer's are even more expensive. If you really want an olive or mustard with your sardines, buy the product separately. This post is brought to you by tiny tots gang.

Love me some deenz but I have to go easy cause gout is a bitch

>>16304101
Based Ortiz Chad.

this would be my last meal request

My favorite way to eat sardines is in homemade fish soup. Ramen with a spicy hell broth, a few sliced vegetables, then a can of sardines. King Oscar is the cheapest brand I'm willing to eat

Mercury poisoning thread nice.

>>16308485
You're thinking of tuna, an apex predator. Predators always have higher concentrations of toxins than prey animald

>>16308485
imagine being this weak

>>16308488
>>16308489
nice coping strategies

>>16308491
>dispensing a simple fact is the same as coping
1/10 try harder next time

>>16308501
first sign of mercury poisoning is delusional thoughts

>>16308510
What is delusional about telling you that predators have higher concentrations of toxins than prey animals?

>>16308485
This is the only b8 in this thread that I wouldn't eat

I'm just sequestering mercury in my cremains, you're welcome ocean

>>16304475
It's funny that even back then faggots misspelled it.

>>16308485
educate yourself

oh no no

Interesting to see some types of Mackerel in the High category. I'm assuming most of the canned Mackerel that gets posted here is the Chub/Atlantic variety? It seems at least King Oscar is.

ugh, so I finally took the /deenz/ pill and got a few tins when I was at the grocery store today. I eat a lot of fish because of their protein content and I like the idea of eating something lower on the foodchain because of the mercury aspect. It wasn't terrible but eating the bones and spines is gonna take some getting used to. I just ate mine on toast.

>>16309830
Honestly I don't even notice the bones. They're so soft that they just go down easy.

Never had deenz before - are Brunswick any good? It's all I can get locally here.

>>16310377
Brunzdeenz are pretty based. They’re caught in the maritimes, and generally solid quality. Not quite as good as KO but they’ll get you 85% of the way there for a fraction of the price. Most of them are packed in soi oil, which isn’t really an issue but the internet will claim it’ll make you into a tranny. I approve of brunzdeenz

i like my deenz in soy sauce

>>16309830
They have boneless versions for sissys like you.

>>16309830
Start by educating yourself on the health benefits of eating bones. Then meditate on that until your psyche starts to synthesize the knowledge and your tastes change. You will soon find yourself craving those vertebrae.

>>16310248
yeah I was surprised at how the spines just crumble into dust when pressured
>>16310410
>>16310453
Not gonna quit em just because of the bones. I'm thinking it'll be easy to incorporate one or two tins per week into my diet. Deenz on toast seems like an easy nutritious breakfast. 15 grams of protein per tin

>>16310403

I can get almost all the varieties, including the ones packed in spring water. Maybe I'll start with those because fuck plant (minus olive) oils.

Thanks anon!

>>16309678
because of tobacco

>>16304678
you act like that's a bad thing. personally i like the texture of the spine bones and it has loads of calcium.

>>16310941
Definitely a good start! They are some of the better water-packed deenz I've tried personally. Just so you know, deenz in water tend to carry a more strongly fishy odor, so just be aware of that when you open a can for your first time. If you're not expecting it, it can be a little off-putting the first time you try them

Also, brunz sells olive oil premium deenz, they're just harder to find! Keep an eye out for them if you wanna try the oily boys without turning into a woman

deenz backwards is zneed

>>16303988
Dunno about deenz but if you want something nice with canned tuna just boil some rice and while that's happening boil diced potatoes till they're half done, fry them the rest of the way with some onion and whatever spices you like, then add tuna, a bit of white wine to deglaze, then throw in your cooked rice and a can of tomato paste, mix it together and serve.

I use sundried tomato and basil tuna.
