The Great Sardine Taste-off – best canned sardines –

After trying 30 types of canned sardines here are my thoughts:

- Sardines caught near Portugal or Spain are the best with a meaty tuna flavor
- Italian grocery stores carry the best brands of Portuguese sardines
- Olive oil is the best medium for sardines
- Really skip those flavored with tomato sauce or mustard
- Read that ingredient list there is no reason for anything but fish, oil/water or salt

Here are the next 7 canned sardines, in order of preference:

Rankings

1. Matiz Gallego sardines in olive oil - Spain -
2. Idamar Portuguese Sardines in olive oil - Portugal -
3. Gonsalves Sardines in olive oil – Portugal -
4. Da Morgada Sardines in Pure Olive Oil - Portugal -
5. BELA-Olhão lightly smoked sardines in cayenne pepper-flavored extra virgin olive oil. - Portugal -
6. Crown Prince One Layer Sardines in soy bean oil no Salt - Scotland -
7. Brand: BUMBLE BEE Sardines in Water – Poland -

Smoked oysters....incredible.
I am a bit of a sardine connoisseur. Pickled herring. Kippers on toast. Caviar and smoked salmon. Delicious!

I used to smoke salmon. It’s sooooo rich. My favorite recipe for smoked salmon is to sauté some garlic and parsley in some butter, crumble 4 to 6 oz of smoked salmon, cook the salmon for a couple of minutes then add a cup of half and half, then a half cup of frozen peas, some Parmesan Regiano. Heat through till it thickens to desired consistency then salt and pepper to taste. Then add half a box of cooked linguine and toss. Serve with a good Reisling. Obviously this is super rich.

I have very fond memories of smoked oysters. They were one of my fathers favorite snacks. As kids my sisters and I fell in love with them and if our father gave us a tin us kids would fight over them. Sometime during the 80’s we started playing a grab bag game at Christmas. For shits and giggles I wrapped a tin of smoked oysters as a gag gift. Everyone kept swiping it and was the most prized gift in the grab bag. That then became a family tradition that whoever got the tin of smoked oysters at the Christmas grab bag was the winner.
