| The Brunswick sardine company actually has its fish plant not too far from where I live. Although Bumblebee bought it out, layed off a bunch of people, and rumors are saying they are going to use the plant only to collect the fish, freeze them, and send them off to China to be packed. Scumbag Bumblebee basically ruining a major job supplier in Southern New Brunswick. |

I like most of the canned varieties, plain, w/mustard and with hot sauce. I prefer saltine crackers, but will pretty much put them on any type of cxracker. I also like Kipper Snacks. I think Sardines are an old school thing. Supposedly, they were quite popular at one time and most people ate them often in the form of sandwiches.I do get the same reaction from my family when I pop open a can of them though. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

| I'd imagine that they would work well with a dodger/live bait rig for salmon fishing. |

This just says to me "I really don't like them but I coat them in sauces until they taste like a hot dog/burrito combo" |

Yeah the thing is my dad just cracks open a package of sardines and eats them straight and he likes the straight-up taste of them. |

This. It doesn't matter how much mustard and hot sauce I put on the fish, it's still very clearly going to taste like sardines.

You open a can of sardines with normal people in the same room as you? You're a monster. BTW I can run through an entire box of those Triscuits in one sitting. -------------

I guess I'm wierd, I actually like the taste of fish. It always confuses me when someone tries something like catfish and says it's "too fishy tasting"..... Duh, it's fish moron! I like the fact that is tastes like fish, otherwise I would eat chicken or steak. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

Agreed. I generally dislike eating fish that doesn't taste like anything at all. Tilapia is a big culprit. If I wanted to eat a blank canvas where the flavors were applied, I'd just eat tofu. I think hot sauce and yellow mustard compliments the rather potent fish taste of sardines. It's also how my grandpa taught me to eat them, so it's just sort of stuck with me.

My childhood memory of my grandpa and sardines: Being over at my grandparents house, and some sporting event being on. Knowing my grandpa, it was either a Florida Gators football game or an Atlanta Braves baseball game. Before the game, he'd go to the kitchen and prep the entire can of sardines. He'd take his snack tray, lay out the appropriate number of Saltine crackers, place a sardine on each one, give each one a sort-of toothpaste stripe of yellow mustard, a douse of Texas Pete, and give everything a healthy sprinkle of black pepper. Then he'd grab a Natural Light (Or three) out of the fridge and place himself in the recliner, and scream at the TV every time Wuerffel threw a pick. I learned sardines by taking some from his tray.

| My dad taught me how to eat them on crackers. We also love smoked oysters. Both are best on saltines. |

Haha. When I was in Ohio, I went to some restaurant in Cincinnati where they had a dozen oysters for about $16. I'd never seen oysters priced so high in my life. Even in tacky tourist bars in Daytona they're about $9 for a dozen.

*Forgot to mention that "pinky up" is the proper method when slurping oysters from the half shell. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

Up here, its considered very strange to consume raw ocean creatures such as fish or molluscs. |

No sushi? Even in the hell hole that is LIma, Ohio we have sushi. I do find it interesting though that so many coastal areas where great fresh seafood should be abundant that the main way to prepare it is to bread and fry the crap out of it.------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

Oh no, these were steamed. I wouldn't eat raw oysters in a non-coastal state. Also!!! Lee & Ricks is still around, and still just as awesome as you imagine it. It's on 526, south of Pine Hills (So I dodge gunfire to get there, but I do go every summer. Multiple times.) so I don't know if it's in the original location or not.

That's how we eat all of our fish in Wisconsin. There's usually a fish fry within a couple miles of anywhere you may be on a Friday. Sushi in Wisconsin creeps me out.... I've eaten it, but I'm not a huge fan. Never had sardines, and I have no interest.

I love sushi of all kinds. In fact, I think I enjoy food based solely on how strange / exotic it is-that's probably why I love things like sardines and sushi. I'll eat basically anything as far as animals go, the only places I can't get adventurous are things like cheeses. Both the crap processed American and most kinds of bleu cheese make me gag. I actually bought a big can of clams from the store, dumped them in a bowl, doused them in Tabasco, and went to town. They were an awesome, cheap, fairly not so bad for you lunch with some crackers. -------------

I think the only fried seafood I really enjoy would be catfish, oysters, and clams. And I really prefer oysters raw with Tabasco and horseradish. Of course I have a real low tolerance for fried foods in general thanks to my severe reflux / stomach issues. Grease / oil saturation just makes me want to vomit. -------------

Oh we have sushi, just the grocery store kind mostly. Its not really a big thing. My thesis is we see the water that those creatures come out of and we see what is put in that water. We boil/fry the crap out of fish to make sure we don't get sick from it. |
