Canned fish...

[DitchPanda]

So obviously like most people I've eaten a ton of canned tuna in my life but outside of that nothing else. Who likes canned sardines, kippered herring etc? What brands do you like?

Costco solid Albacore

King Oscar double layer in oil, outstanding a few days into a canoe trip down the Alagash.

My Grandmother used to can trout, that’s about the only canned fish I’ve eaten.  Other tuna

herring

I like Morey’s pickled herring. It comes in a glass jar though. I put it on a plain triscuit cracker. Tends to give me bad breath because of the onions in it.

I've always loved tuna. Its the only canned fish I'll eat. I will not touch hot tuna though.

For canned fish, as a kid  I only knew and ate tuna and loved it. Then a high school buddy showed sardines. Yum yum yum.

 

I tried herring a few years ago and it too was good.

Whatever brand sardines the store has when I have a hankering,  but they must have chilis/peppers or be in a bath of hot sauce.

Yay winter!!!

I don't like any fishy smelling fish period!

 

My Dad loved sardines, I can't stand the smell. When we fished together he would beach the boat so I could get out while he ate sardines.  

 

Lot of people like cedar plank Salmon, I'll leave the room, that stuff stinks!

When my wife was pregnant with our first child 30 years ago, we had kipper snacks in the pantry on a daily basis. 
 

 

Ever since, when at the grocery store, I’ll ask “want some kipper snacks”?  That always gets me the stink eye. ?

 

Bumblebee solid white albacore in water is about the only canned fish we eat. Everything else is fresh-caught or frozen. Except for jumbo lump crabmeat, which is cooked but comes in refrigerated plastic containers.

Also, I hardly mess with canned fish. Most of the fish I eat is what I catch anyways. Occasionally I’ll open a can of Wild Planet sardines though, they go well with crackers and mustard when the craving arises

I like tuna from a can, not sardines or mackerel or anything powerful 

[flyfisher]

Tuna from a can is good when prepared right but not into that tuna melt garbage.  Anything else I will pass with the exception of canned chicken.  I use it for a bunch of different things when i don't feel like cooking my own with the plans to shred it.

Love me some canned shrimp for a Mac salad

My wife and I canned a bunch of carp one year . Carp patties were real good .

[Darth-Baiter]

i'm good with canned fish.  sardines, tuna, etc.  in Chinese grocery stores they have a tuna packed with bamboo shoots and a hot sauce.  so good dumped over a big bowl of hot white rice for the days i dont want to cook.

 

my friends and i punted once and used a can of salmon and made campfire-side salmon cakes that were great.

I've always wondered about this. My grandfather said they canned carp and suckers in the spring when he was young and made patties out of them. He said he always liked them.

We only did it the one time, had maybe 20 quart jars and went through them in a year . 

 

An elderly "river rat"  woman instructed us and she took several  jars .

Ok, I forgot this. My wife makes shrimp spread (tiny canned shrimp, cream cheese, BBQ sauce and some other secret ingredients) with canned shrimp as an hors d'oeuvre. Good stuff!

I can only do tuna in oil but not water & only for tuna salad. Don't cook it, I will leave the house. 

 

I spent teenage summers on a charter fishing boat, the smell of fish guts & diesel fuel ruined me.

 

I'm a Coonass, seafood better be fresh!

Pregnancy does some strange things to women. My wife got sick at the smell of bar-b-que sauce, but if we passed a dead skunk in the road she made me turn around cause it smelled so good.

Shew. My wife’s boss shot a skunk in a barn while she was in there , needless to say she’s not a fan of that aroma

My mom used to make salmon patties from the can. Cover them with bisquit gravy and grab the plate before i do.

[Jigfishn10]

Clams for chowder. 
Tunafish in water, straight up.

Can’t for the life of me eat sardines 

I catch plenty of mackerel fresh all summer. Usually used as bait though. So no canned.
