Tested this recipe last night and it was a household winner. Simple working class food and all the better for it. I would get plain oil rather than the flavoured stuff I had and I would add an extra clove and a wee bit more tomato paste...oh, and make sure it's good pasta, life is too short for cheap pasta.

That would work well, I might enjoy it, though not a fish person.

Oddly, Blackie, another non fish eater, loves tinned sardines

Are you sure Blackie is indeed a cat?

 

[Tengu]

There is a lot of evidence to suggest he is a cat.

He says stuff like "Mau"

Which is Greek for `cat` isnt it?

Maybe not tinned, but recommended

Lidl do a version of those during Spain week. Wasn't a fan tbh... too vinegary for me. The M&S might be different, Haven't tried those ones.

Tried all of them... All nice. The Olive and caper was my fave from the sardines.

I had a tin of Saupiquet brand mackerel in mustard sauce today. Nice, meaty fish (two decent sized pieces); ok sauce, a little on the sweet side and the mustard wasn't as strong as I would have liked.

If you see them with sweeter vinegars they are much more palatable!

Sardines in oil, skin & bone, mash using the back of a fork with tomato ketchup, Tabasco, malt vinegar & some of the oil from the tin, spread over toast and grill

The way I use tinned fish (in tomatoe sauce) is that I cook rice and mix the fish into the rice.

Sounds like the scone jam first or cream first separation you get over here

I like most tinned fish. Practically lived on tinned tuna for a while, so don't particulay like it it or dislike it but it's food. The other stuff I like... Tesco has some interesting Mackerel flavours. They used to do one in Teriyaki sauce I liked, but haven't seen it in a while

Got a mackerel in Teriyaki here... i just checked, its not Tesco, Its Sainsburys own branded stuff. So if you have a Sainsburys near to you, have a look there. I got this within the last month.

I almost opened another can of fish a bit before noon today, but decided on a can of duck gizzards, instead.

I fried a small onion in duck fat, then added the gizzards to the pan to warm them.

Ah no. I'm in Ireland, no Sainsbury near me. Unfortunate, just for the fish. Haha

1. Gently sauté the following - one (or two) tins of anchovies, garlic, juice of at least ½ a lemon, chilli flakes, season with pepper, stirring to meld it all together in a saucy dressing
2. Finely slice and steam cabbage
3. Cook pasta
4. Mix the anchovy dressing through and eat. Food heaven!

Oooh I’ll lookout for that Bill, bet that’s real nice mate. Have you tried it yet if so how was it???

Today I took a tin out of the cellar because I had a bit of a tinned fish craving.


Big disappointment. I don't remember how much I paid for this, but it isn't worth more than €2.50.



It's not unpleasant, there are no off flavours, no strong smell, it's just plain bland. I have a second tin in the cellar, but now that I've eaten it straight from the tin I know that it is to be used as an ingredient, not to be eaten on its own.

4 fish!, not worth £2.50, but at least they are bigger fish than my Costco tins of mediterranean sardines. The fish are smaller but packed in tight, and cost a lot less than that. I'm a bit of a fan, gound black pepper, salt, and a salad, Yum!
