Sardines are good and come in so many flavors. They are shelf stable and portable, provide healthy fats and protein, and make an easy snack whem you cant decide what to eat.
You can get boneless but the bones are soft and a little crunchy and I love that. They are an excellent source of calcium.
Mackerel&sardines are low mercury fish so you can eat them more frequently than tuna. And if you cant typically afford salmon, tins are $1-4!

Girl stop it, the price has doubled since the beginning of the ‘trend’…I can’t even afford tinned fish anymore.
I love them but all the oil gives me bad acid reflux, any tips?
I’m coming so everyone doesn’t have to chime in; canned sardines are not even cheap anymore.
A tin of sardines in water or oil (great value brand) at my local Walmart is 98 cents. Some more expensive brands in olive oil range between $2.50 – $3.50.
Too much sodium
Okay wait if someone has never done tinned fish before, what do you recommend as a good entry point in terms of flavor, how to eat it etc….
…may I just say: whatta tomatta ya got there!
Can’t get past the smell
Absolutely yes! I eat sardines almost every day, and I love them so much. Come join us in r/CannedSardines
I know it’s not for everyone, but I love the canned sardines and mackerel.
Sardines in Louisiana hot sauce on a saltine cracker sandwich. Pisses everyone off in the lunchroom due to smell but I love it.
Depends on the sodium count for me nowadays.
Sardines on crackers! Yes please!
Pickled hearing Rollmops are pretty damn good too, eat them with a dash of tobasco, friggn’ delicious
this is basically all my mom eats. a large variety of tinned fish dishes.
I loved tinned sardines until i once got one with eggs or something in it.
Chicken of the Sea Mediterranean style. Absolutely love them.
The sardines in the ShopRite near me went from 99cents to $3. I guess inflation is at 200% these days
I can’t get over the smell of sardines.
I’ve been unable to get past the smell of sardines, sadly.
I eat them all the time. Love the hot sauce and olive oil kind.
Canned fish has made the Mediterranean diet so easy for me. Literally zero prep meals.
If only the smell, the taste, the appearance and the texture wasn’t disgusting to me 😞
Trader Joe’s has some good ones for $3-4 a tin. They also have some pretty tasty canned smoke trout for $4-5 a tin.
Mackerel is tops for me
