Jon HicksCottoned on (very late in life) to tinned sardines. Gorgeous packaging, long shelf life, a tasty posh meal in a can for just a couple pounds. Also, frying eggs in the fishy olive oil to go with them 👌
Stu Robson@jonhicks I've yet to try them, but I've found a man wearing a fez that does tiktoks reviewing canned fish.
@sturobson What a world we live in!
u0421793@jonhicks Asda has these recently, when they first turned up last month or so I scanned the price because there was no price on them, they were £3 each! Fuck that.
Then a couple of weeks ago they appeared again and I scanned the price and they were 75p but I didn't get any as I was only cycled into there for one thing, I intended to get them later in the day, so when I cycled back, the shelf was bare of them!
Last week they had plentiful of them in, and an actual price on the shelf (75p) so I bought a couple, and we've tried one, and they're rather nice. Quite robust and chunky (basically pilchards, it's the same species, and Glenryck pilchards had disappeared off the shelves of all supermarkets a year ago).

Craig Morgan@jonhicks grab some canned anchovies in oil while you are there, cheap (Aldi amazing value in UK-65p) and great flavour as the base for many sauces, just dump the fish and oil in let it melt and then add your other ingredients, great umami flavour ...
Simon Collison@jonhicks Highly recommend Nixe Mackerel Fillets in Spicy Tomato Sauce — spicy as in extra flavour, not heat (so I can enjoy it). One of the best snack-sized tinned fish I've ever had. We get 'em from Lidl.

@jonhicks you’re doing this over a sterno fire can at the edge of an abandoned wharf, correct?
Fingerless gloves are perfect for this.
I love fish in a can that are sauced with spice or mustard.
