I cleared it up...

In the morning, southeast Asia style:

a little crushed garlic fried in olive or vegetable oil, then add one or two chopped tomatoes, some chopped onion and/or peppers, cilantro if you want, a little chili oil or even chili powder. A minute or two on high heat and then a can of sardines in tomato sauce. Poured over a fried egg on or next to rice.

Just wondering. Are you avoiding the Pacific because of Fukishima radiation? That would be a valid concern IMO. The Wild Planet ones I've been getting are the best I've ever had but I might have to see if I can find some good ones from elsewhere. Wild Planet has some that come from the California Coast and some that are processed in Vietman. Both taste excellent. I just tried a can of Beach Cliff (product of Poland). They were nice and big, but the flesh was white and slimy and they had no flavor. I'll give the King Oscar's a go. I think I'll source some fresh ones as well.

Any other suggestions appreciated.

Like blue said.. Latvian Sprats are very good. They have a nice smoky flavor but there are many similar to that style from that part of the world. Canned herring is also very good. Yes, the Fukishima deal as well as the oil spill in the gulf makes me search out Atlantic seafood more these days.

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I love canned fish, particularly sardines and kippers. Personal favorite–sardines in tomato sauce, followed closely by mustard. Terrific with triscuits or just plain bread.

I've been enjoying the Polar kippers as of late they are cheap and readily available at my wal-mart. Much better then king oscars since the king has been bumbled by the bee. Also all natural just smoked fished and salt. King Oscar now has some funky stuff since they were taken over by Bumble-Bee. Seriously they are the best kippers I've had and are less than $1.50 at wal mart. I hate wal-mart but I'll do what I have to do.....to get what I want or need......

I love sardines too. They pack them in chil sauce, musterd, tomatoe, oil of course and i just need a few saltines and im fed. Must be part feline. I am part feline. leo and i live with 8 cats! ( dogs and horses too but) i feed the dogs canned mackeral periodically and the there is atuna Tongol or something like that? $3.00 a an. Eat right out of the can. And Pink Salmon? Same.

I enjoy them once every blue moon... I prefer fresh seafood over canned.

[Faylool]

I was exposed to canned seafood as a kid thanks to my mom. I still eat sardines from time to time. My fav canned seafood is though would either be smoked clams or canned octopus/cuttlefish.

I dropped £70 in Yo Shushi! last week by myself! Easy to get stuck on an eating loop in that place

Two totally different things. I love fresh fish as well. I've actually been known to eat tinned fish whilst trying to catch fresh fish for dinner. Really can't do it the other way around.

Only thing I love more than canned sardines is canned anchovies

[Zimobog]

I love sardines, kippers, anything like that. I love smoked clams but dislike store-bought.

My favorite preserved fish is "squaw candy". Its the strip belly meat and fat dried at the bottem edge of a salmon fillet (the part you cut into when you clean fish). Dried and smoked with alder wood, the strips are stiff as a board and about the size of a liqorace stick. Silvery skin on one side and meat on the other. You gotta try it!

The closest thing you are gonna get commercially is a "salmon stick" from Alaska Wild Game Products.

[Bigblue1]

My mom went to Alaska a few years ago and brought home Alaska's Best Salmon Jerky and Captain Jim's smoke salmon Both pretty Good in my book. Also Roo sent me some choice smoked Salmon he bought at some fish joint by his house in Seattle and it was the Bomb.
