Tinned Fish?

[JackFrost]

Does anyone here like those fish that come in the little flat cans? I tried one earlier and it was delightful, apparently they're all gourmet and fancy. Do y'all like em and any recommendations?

growing up, i've always seen on tv and in movies that canned fish is sooo smelly and nasty and disgusting... but a few years ago (under some unforeseen circumstances), i decided that i had to try this out for myself.
lo and behold -- canned fish slapssss!!! one of my fav things to snack on with crackers or bread, but honestly rn i feel like i've had too much of it to even want anymore right now.

i've loved sardines w hot peppers or w tomatoes, but i really want to expand my taste with different fishes, sauces and brands. there's this channel on youtube called "canned fish files" that may be also really cool for you to check out!! xx

oh HELLLLL yeah brother, I've been a canned sardine lover since I was like, 8
I used to like the ones in mustard, but lately I've preferred the ones in water or oil. Smoked sardines are really good, and I also like the ones with black olive and tomato on toast - I have that whenever I get tired of eggs for breakfast 

Haven't tried many other kinds of canned fish- anchovies are waaaay too salty for me. Not really fish but I've had canned octopus and canned squid and I really didn't like those either, the texture was bad and the fishiness was overwhelming. I can totally see why canned fish is unappealing to most people, but for tasty, fast, cheap protein it really does the job!

tinned fish rule!! one of my favorite easy work lunches is just a couple slices of sourdough bread, some tinned fish in olive oil (usually sardines, herring, or mackerel) some greens (usually arugula) a squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper. There's all sorts of little additions that are great like capers, peppers, tomatoes, basically anything I have around.

I don't usually get the super fancy tins since they can be expensive, but now I kind of want to treat myself...

I'm honestly a little relieved to hear the opinions on canned octopus and squid. I always see them on the shelf and I feel curious but I have no confidence they would be good. From the description, it doesn't sound like my thing.

I flipping love tuna fish
Tuna has been one of my favorite foods since forever, I always get tinned tuna in brine and not in sunflower oil or any other stuff, ONLY BRINE!
I'm not sure why I've actually only ever gotten brine my mam just tells me its better and now I don't ever wanna risk it and buy any other versions it would just feel wrong and I don't want tuna in brine to feel like I have betrayed it!

Also the anchorman of bikini bottom is a tuna fish too!
