Don't fuck with the king
I eat two tins of sardines in olive oil, and one tin of smoked oysters per week for health reasons. I despise them. Hoping I eventually start to enjoy them.
>>21917279the king best stop charging $4 a tin then. For now I'll eat deenz out my queen's ass, pic related.
>>21917279I can't find them anywhere, not the EVOO tins at least. I finally found a shop selling them in water snd I bought them all. They're not as good but they sure beat the Chicken of the Sea and other value brands I have been eating the past couple months
>>21917279
>>21917279I was really excited to try these when i saw them at my local shop. Kinda mushy and gross desu i was hugely disappointed. did i just get a bad can?
>>21917492They should be tender but not mushy. They aren't as hearty as the bigger sardines and they're best eaten as-is or lightly tossed in a marinade.
>>21917279Do you guys eat the bones? Feels too weird for me. I haven't tried it.
>>21917495the spine? it has a nice soft texture. plus i imagine it contains a lot of the good nutrients.
>>21917495The brislings have such tiny, brittle bones you don't even notice them. The bigger ones yeah I usually remove the spines.
>>21917492Get the boneless skinless KO in regular olive oil they’re much more firm although not nearly as flavorful. Those ones will come with 3-4 filets of larger species deenz
Cod liver.
you can’t compare to Sole Mare
>>21917495Eat the bones. It's really good for your bones.
>>21917686thanks anon i'll keep an eye out for these.
>>21917686>boneless skinlessBanished from /deenz/
>>21917279I stopped eating deenz because my local grocery store stopped packing 99 cent in house brands :( Now the cheapest option is fucking €2.85 or something with fucking tomato sauce because the olive oil ones are always sold out grrr!!! Maybe I should look in to ordering them online in bulk from some Chinese website or something.
>>21917279I like to feed a cat that lives in my alleyway and sometimes I'll crack a can of 'oscars and share it with him if I'm out of normal cat treats and feeling philanthropic. Only the ones saturated in water
>>21919913Good on you for being a friend of the cats MEOW!!!
>>21917279For me, it's the Mackerel in olive oilPic rel is it mashed up and mixed with rotini and spinach. Yum!
>>21920046>plastic fork
>>21920058Nah it's transparent aluminum But even if it was plastic it doesn't matter.
>>21919906That sucks. It’s too bad international shipping is so expensive now otherwise I’d offer to send some.>>21920046Comfy
So i tried smoked oysters and they did have the green stuff in it lol. They were good but it was constantly on the back of my mind. Don't think I'll eat them again.Anyone Screencast the recipe some guy shared on here with deenz and eggs? I'll check the catalog tomorrow if no one remembers. I just can't be bothered right now.
Has anyone here taken a can of sardines and just mashed the crap out of them with a fork? How does a sardine sandwich stack up against a tuna fish sandwich?
they taste stinky to me
>>21917495it's disrespectful to the fish if you don't
>>21917495if you don't like the texture, just get boneless you dumb picky bitch
>>21920302I mash deenz and then mix them with a sauce when I eat them with rice. I don’t think I’ve done a sardine salad sandwich yet but I’m sure it’s fine
Deenz are good and all but have you tried eel?
>>21920302good on toasted bread, but at that point it's almost like having them on crackers. I guess if you need it to be more portable?
was on a friendcation in florida with the pals. everyone struggling to cook brekkie or order jeetdash in the morning. i simply sat by the pool and ate deenz, crackers, and mustard. black tea. had a 15 pack of Season brand in my suitcase. skin on in olive oil.
>>21917279i got these today. haven't tried yet. i never really ate dines much. but I want to start.
I eat mine with triscuts.
don't get deenz from Aldiyou'll thank me later
>>21925001my wife bought me some from Trader Joe's and they were terrible
>>21917460kek
>>21917279mackerel mogs deens so hard its not even fair
ive got a small jar of anchovies i havent opened yet. how long do they stay good for in the fridge afterwards?
>>21926505forever
>>21917279I love Riga Gold smoked sprats but if you can afford the Ramon Peña… with a pickled onion and bit of herb cheese it’s like eating brisket
>>21920302ok with pb and chili crisp. I prefer to mash them with lemon juice parmesan and capers and put over pasta tho. straight out of the can with pickled onions on a cracker is still the best
>>21917283That's really sad that you're forced to eat them but don't enjoy it. Is there a chance you could just take fish oil tablets instead? Some of us really love stinky canned fish and sardines in olive oil are some of the best
>>21925001The sardines and herring at Aldi here in Australia are really good. Pretty sure they're from Poland at the moment
>>21917279I kneel.
>>21928835i dont believe that
I was eating these a lot until I read that the canning process can introduce a lot of heavy metals into the food such as mercury, which sort of defeats the purpose of eating small fish if that's something you're watching out for.
i used to eat these alot until i discovered that part of the process of sealing them in a can introduces bacteria like niggaspeciosa niggashitoccocus virus, which can be deadly to humans, and also the fish is caught using a method called meth nigger schadenfreude nigger butthole boiling where they actually capture the sardines in nigger buttholes and then subject them to intense pressure and heat, just wanted to let yall know if thats something relevant
>>21930189https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S194439862410745XNigger buttholes probably don't have half the lead that your canned fish do lmao
How are these more expensive brands like Nuri and Fishwife anyways? Are they actually good fish or are you just paying extra for sauces? I've been enjoying eating deenz a lot recently but I'm not sure if I want to go for the ritzy shit.
>>21922688I've only had eel in sushi, but it's my favorite roll hands down. How does this canned stuff taste? I might make a dedicated stop at the asian mart to look for it.>>21917492I prefer the Wild Planet deenz. They're larger and more firm.
>>21917279i appreciate that they tell me the minimum number of fish i will receive in the tin, and how many layers i can expect.this is true class.
>>21930360fishwife is pretty good. the lemon one actually has little slices of lemon and whatever in it. idk if theyre worth what they charge (plus i got them for free) but they were pretty good. their anchovies were a cut above others I've had
People seem to like Nuri, but what about TOME?At my market Nuri are $5 and TOME are $3
>>21930620Different anon but I may have to try these then, my Costco has a 3 pack for $14 (crazy that it’s $32 for a 3 pack on the fishwife site)
>>21929057NTA but the big benefit of sardines is the bones with the calcium
>>21917279>deenzWhy not just eat wild caught salmon instead of this processed shit?
>>21929067These are great, you can get them at woolies as well. Also smoked kippers are fucking great.
>>21932349>processedRetardAlso kippers
>>21920067>Nah it's transparent aluminumHow stupid do you think we are?
>>21932386Let him bant, I chuckled.
>>21932386>Not knowing that the secret to transparent aluminium was given to us in the 80’s >source: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
>>21932349>processedIngredients: Fish, olive oil, saltYou should be skinned alive and tossed into a comically large sardine tin with RAPEseed oil and salt.
>>21932386>How stupid do you think we are?Very given how you fell for his obvious bait
>>21932351>>21932997>taps canForgetting a part of the "process"?
i know it's not /deenz/ but I made a tuna sandwich with toasted brioche buns, grounded peppers, mustard and pickles (it was good)
what would /deenz/ put on an 'chovy pizza besides the 'chovy?
>>21917279I was reluctant to try but eventually cracked open a can of deenz and had them on some toast. Was pleasently supprised. Have a good supply of them now in my pantry
>>21933223you do realise the entire planet is contaminated and every living thing bioaccumulates the nasties.
>>21933223Deenz are not ‘processed’ in the conventional ’processed food’ sense and are one of the lowest-mercury fish on earth. To the point where medical science says you can eat as many as you want.
>>21933773Ham, mushroom, spinach
>>21933773From the thumbnail this looked like a cool tentacle hair monster with an evil grin.>Do you DARE to try my anchovie hair?...
>>21934006Sure but extra gets added via the canning process.>>21934063Canned sardines are processed in that they are changed from their natural state by having heavy metals added to them by the canning process. 100% agree with you that sardines as they naturally occur have near non-existent mercury levels, but the canned sardines you eat are probably not at that level. "Naturally occurring sardines are low in mercury so my canned ones definitely are too" is a retarded meme that needs to die and I'm personally killing it on /ck/.
Going to do deenz spring rolls with a wedge of creamcheese in them and a dash of hotsauce with a peanut dipping sauce. Ill let you guys know how it came out. I have a feeling its going to be good.
>>21934757sounds good but I'd add something pickled to be des
>>21934065this sounds good. I've done bacon and chovy so ham makes sense but I never considered earthier produce like mushroom and spinach.>>21934072thank you for noticing. i chose it for its engagement bait potential
>>21934778Yea i shouldve. I didnt have kimchi, but i think even pickles wouldve enhanced it. Overall it was good, made too much peanut sauce tho.
>>21934134>changed from their natural state by having heavy metals added to them by the canning process.Maybe in the third world. High quality canned deenz and herring use non-soldered steel cans. It’s why I don’t buy or eat canned food made by thirdies.
>>21934779You’ll probably think I’m a sick freak for this, but a bbq ham and pineapple pizza with anchovies is a flavor bomb too.
>>21934995i think this would be really good, depending on the bbq sauce you use. I'd probably add some red onion or jalapeno, in case the bbq sauce and pineapple skewed it too sweet. I'll have to try this.
For me it's Old Fisherman chili deenz
>>21920046that works
>>21917495I have never once noticed them while chewing
>>21929067They have the Northern Catch here and it's vile.
I fucking hate eggs
>>21933223I'm talking bout deenz!They low on the food chain, brother.
>>21933239Ooo yummy>>21933865Nice, welcome to the deenz team>>21934961Pic available? I don’t think I’ve ever done sardines and cream cheese but it sounds good, especially with the spring roll cronch
>>21935528I didnt take any, sorry. It was good, however i dont think the peanut sauce properly accompanied it. Next time ill just eat it without a dip.
>>21920046based mackerelman
>>21935115That is the one I can get at my local asian market. Got me wanting some now. It is much sweeter than I thought it would be. Probably the sauce they use?
>>21935900>372 tinsHow long did that haul last? Most I’ve bought on sale might be 240, probably lasted 16 weeks
I picked up fishwife's mackerel for cheaper than they sell in bulk packs on their site. they were pretty damn good but not worth 6.99 a can
>>21917279For me, it's only the finest hardwood smoked latvian oily fish. Used them to make a spinach deenZ cesar salad. Shit slap, yo.
>>21938472Looks fancy.
For me it’s Sole Mare Portuguese Style in Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
>>21917279Wow, the incel canned fish thread, so interesting!You eat canned fish? What an awesome personality trait
>>21938592so true
Bros Costco raised the price of the six pack of Seasons deenz from $12 to $14 ;_;
>>21938676
>>21938592
>>21917279just had some 'deenz for din dins. buckwheat crackers, 'deenz mashed with tomato, spring onion, chili oil, pepper and some mayo on top; Helmans of course.
>>21938592welcome home
DEENZ ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF STOCK IN MY CITY HERE IN THE UKSTOCK UP NOW RIGHT NOW IF YOU CAN GET EM, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE CURRENT STATE OF THE WORLD
>>21939308Shut up Chiyo
>>21938592Is this divine intellect or niggerlicious?
>>21938592Deenz good for tongue and body. Y u so mad?
>>21938592>when a dumbass nigga hits you with that absolutely Omega 3 & 6 deficient post
>>21917283mix it with mashed potatoes and sour cream or mayonnaise. add them to potato salad. add them to greek salad or pasta salad. fry them and make tacos.>>21917913this but save them then steam them air dry them and crush to a powder and shot it
>>21935081nta but you mostly just need to season the pineapple. imo preferably in a pan with bacon grease and msg.
>>21917279I had some deenz with baby deenz on top today. Pretty good.
>>21941489
>>21941493No heat required. The baby deenz were already cooked. Sweet, savory, and a little chewy.
Damn. Didn't realize the deenzbros were actually deenzbitches kek.
>>21917279Brislings are actually sprats, an entirely different species from true sardines.
How do Deenzbros feel about canned tuna? I'm still waiting for my local supermarket to restock their 99 cent deenz so I've been having tuna/mackerel mostly.>>21917283Try fresh sardines. Canned ones have a bit of a weird texture and taste. (I don't mind it per sé) Fresh ones are often cheaper too but not all stores carry them. >in olive oil add some acidity to cut out the fatty flavor. lemon juice + mint will make a huge difference. Could add some chili peppers too if you like spice. This is how i often have them myself.
>>21941518I meant salmon but typed tuna for some reason.
>>21917279>when kroger is sold out of these boys for weeks at a timeREEEEEEEEEE
>>21917283Try mackerel instead. In Scandinavia (and UK sometimes) you can get mackerel in tomato sauce and it's really nice. I say that as somebody who's not into fish at all.
>>21941489Where did you get baby deenz from?They should not be caught but allowed to grow into more delishus big deenz.
>>21941674None of the grocers in my area have king oscar for months now and it hurts. I've been getting chicken of the sea in water or, if I'm lucky crown prince. The latter are pretty good quality but for some reason the stores around me only get the boneless/skinless tins which of course robs us of some of our Ca+ and omegas
>>21917279Greetings, deenzcells! I come before you humbled, querant, pescatarian.I would like to eat a sandwich of sardines and mustard; but being only recently converted, I don't know how to do it. Points of contention:>Do I mash the sardines up, or do I leave them whole? If I do mash them up, do I add the mustard before or after?>Do I need mayonnaise? I've also been exploring canned salmon salad over rice; it's like an asian thing. So mayonnaise on the deenz feels redundant>what vegetables compliment a deenz and mustard sandwich? Rather, what should be avoided?Assistance with these matters would be greatly appreciated, alongside any other >Deenz Lore(TM, LLC, PhD).
>>21917279The problem with deenz is they reek.
>>21944361For a sandwich personally I’d mash, mix with the mustard, and then spread, especially if the sardines were packed in oil. I don’t feel like mustard and pickles go together but I like sardines and chopped pickles. Sometimes I’ll have sardines with chopped pickles and a touch of mayo in a toasted tortilla.
>>21944361Mash them with mustard and mayo. If you like some zing and the mustard’s mild, consider a shake of hot paprika.
>>21942190It's a Japanese preperation called tsukudani made as a topping for rice. Normally it is made with strips of seaweed, but I saw this jar and couldn't resist trying. I also got a scallop miso paste. Very delicious and unique tasting sorta paste.
>>21917279Were these always so expensive? In my head these were like $0.80 but they’re like $4
reminder that deenz make a fishcake that's 80% of the way there in replicating a crabcake at a fraction on the cost
>>21944588They come with a coupon for next time.
>>21930360the fishwife smoked trout was 10/10, but it was also $10/$10 so i shan't be purchasing it again>>21945664good to know
mackerel in brine, drained, mayo, sriracha, bp, smoked pap, crackersdivine
>>21945788forgor the dill oil
just got these, what am i gonna think?
>>21944372start smoking cigars and it gets better
>>21945885i wish i could tell what it was
>>21946035o sorry
>>21946066Oh thank goodness. I thought those were the smoked salmon titties. Any thoughts on how I should feel about these? I splurged a bit at a fancy supermarket. Had a tuna pate that was really good as well.
Cod liver anyone?
>>21946082Hell yeah
anybody fuck wit Vita? kinda squeaky like imitation crab but way better texture and flavor. I've not been brave enough to make a sandwich yet. just on a cracker with hot sauce like a trailer park oysters on the half shell. always curious about the cream one, but it just seems like a bad idea, shuddering the thought.
YOU HAVE KING OSCAR IN A CAN??WELL YOU BETTER LET HIM OUT!
>>21946589No. He's mine now.
hi cu/ck/s here's some embarassing information about my life please don't bully me about itI'm autistic and always struggled with tastes and textures. Sardines (and a lot of other fish) were always something I could never really eat, but after literally years of trying every few months I managed to eat one and really liked it. I would like to buy some deenz but I live in the UKcan anyone suggest some brands for some good stuff? I want to become deenpilled
>>21946909Any brisling sardine will be the nicest to eat. Get smoked/oil if you like the smoky taste more than fishe taste
>>21946909if its that theyre squishy id say try brunswick smokedusually firm and flaky
Is the difference between non-brand, Nixe (lidl's own), sunflower seed deenz and EV olive oil Oscar or w/e brand justified? A tin of Nixe costs 1 yuro, 0.80 when discounted like this week, just had one with crackers and some hot peppers for a midnight snack, while the Oscar one is between 2 to 4 yuros a tin
>>21947408>sunflower seed deenzjust dont manthe whole olive tin can be usedexception is pepper packed because they have the pepper flavor already so its fine to drain
>>21947426So should I move on to olive oil?
>>21947433olive oil, smoked or in waterthis is entry level and in time youll be able to manage sauces
A lot of deens give me cat food vibes. Sometimes they taste like chicken times 10 straight out of the can. I have mixed emotions.
smoked deenz.mashed, ranch, mayo, bp, red pep flakes, garlic dust,smoked pap, pickapeppa hot mangodust all the crackers in high butyric parm(important)combinedivine
what's the difference and how big is the difference between low end deenz and mid end deenz and premium end deenz? i dont know if king oscar is worth its price when it's only marginally better than say beach cliff or whatever.
>>21917279>fuck with the kingit sux. sardines are shit. period. buy ads, asshole.>>21920046better fish, yes. but only with certain sauces. awful with mustard sauce or just brine.
>>21946275Is it pretty fishy? I’ve never tried it but have seen it before.>>21947522Sardinelet here but I think the differences mainly are what liquid it’s packed in, where it’s fished from, and whether or not it’s a European Pilchard (or a different sardine, sprat, or herring)
Any of you had any of this? 2.3E a tin
>>21947681>is it fishymaybe less than or equal to canned crab at worst, but it's cold. the wine sauce also has thin shredded onion floating around the sauce is pretty acidic with a little sweetness. really good with some Tabasco or pickled peppers.
>>21933773Chovy. Roni.Simple as.
>>21947681What's so great about the European pilchard?my box says>Sardinops sagax OR Sardinops melanistictus>OROR?
>>21933773The only thing that belongs on a proper chovy za is chovies and a very solid neapolitan sauce/cheese/dough base. Maybe onions and basil or other herbs and it should preferably be a little scorched. It's one of those toppings that deserves to be presented with minimal interference.
>>21920302That's what I do for lunch almost every day, gotta go heavy on the olive oil to get a nice paste, I top with dill lemon juice and pepper when I have them. It's by far the lowest effort lunch you can have, which is why I do it. Lunch is gay, dinner and breakfast are what I live for.
>>21947522The main point for every day deenz is packing liquid. Beach cliff and other hobo brands are packed in a cocktail of disgusting goy oils (goils) and chemicals, while decent deenz should be packed in pure olive oil or at the very least, brine. There's also various sauces, cheap ones have your dollar store corn syrup tomato sauce, but sauces can also get quite fancy too. After that it's quality of fish. Just like any other fish, species and location are key.Overall it's a bit like wine. The cheapest decent fish you can get packed in a good olive oil is going to be the the best quality to price ratio. It's like wine, if you're an enthusiast you will get a lot out of the complexity of something fancy, but at the end of the day it's musty grapes/canned meat. A $30 bottle of reputable French Pinot will give you 90% of what the wine world has to offer. King Oscar is probably the deenz equivalent. For that extra 10 percent you have to get obsessed. For me, it's Season because I eat a fuck ton of deenz and want them to be cost effective, but when you're feeling special there are many treats to explore.
>>21938592DEENZ DEENZTHEY'RE GOOD FOR YOUR HEARTTHE MORE YOU EAT THE MORE YOU FARTTHE MORE YOU FART THE BETTER YOU FEELSO EAT SOME DEENZ WITH EVERY MEAL
>>21917279I put these on a saltine with tobacco sauce. Awesome snack, but your breath is ass for the rest of the day.
>>21947522It seems like the high end are harvested in specific regions and are more prized species of deenz. They'll have higher quality control. Some of the low end mackerel tins look like someone had a rough day at the office. Whatever the brands choose to prepare them with seems like marketing and preference to my eyes. Results might not directly track price point, so have fun!

Seeing this thread not long after it was made drove me to try some canned sardines and I think I might have made a grave mistake, because I can't get enough of these things now. Why have I not been eating this shit my entire life? I've always liked canned tuna and I enjoy fish even though I rarely eat it.I've King Oscar, Chicken of the Sea and the SaveMart brand tins so far in a couple of different styles (olive oil, smoked oil, mustard sauce) but when I next go to Costco I'm planning on buying some Wild Planet cases to see if they're any good since it seems like a good price-for-quality deal. Chicken of the Sea and the SaveMart brand were about a dollar a tin but the quality wasn't great. The Oscars are really good, I just got a twelve pack of the cracked pepper and oil tins, but they're pricey enough that I don't think they can be a staple buy at the rate I'm eating them.
>>21950892you literally can't eat too much deens
>>21950892Ayyy nice, iirc the Wild Planet are a Pacific species, Costco should also have Season brand and those are an Atlantic species if you want to compare.Also both occasionally go on sale and if you like one of them the coupon quantity limit is only per warehouse per day
>>21917283I dont really like oysters either. I get the 1 dollar oysters at whole foods every week, they even shuck them for you if you ask. I just put hot sauce on it and swallow it whole
