Modern habits are weird. I'm sat here, eating my dinner, watching a man gently pry away a sardines' spine, so he can eat it. And this is what I do for enjoyment.
I grew up in China watching TV while eating dinner with family, we called the TV the extra fish, so I guess this TH-cam channel is your extra dish to serve with you meal :D
I get so excited when I get a notification from this channel that there's a new upload! I love how you show everything about the fish, even the inside, so we know what we're getting into. Keep it coming, Matthew!
What do you mean? Some sardine channel music critics been rating his music against other sardine channels music and found his background music was not up to sardines channel music standards but you think the other channels are overrated?
Tonight I just had sardines, I added soy sauce, sesame oil, and mirin to the can, and holy **** it was AMAZING! Something to try if you are feeling bored! ✌🏻😋🐟🐟
yeah, wow... every video I watch of your reviews makes me wish I had more variety in my local stores. I'd really like to try more brands. The one I really miss is "Possum Brand" Sardines, had them when I was a kid, I guess they went out of business years ago. Thanks Dad for introducing me to this delicacy! I've been eating sardines since 1978!
Sardines are nice, but my favorites are canned herrings in tomatosauce, love ‘m with some wasa crackers… Delicious, keep reviewing those canned fish goods, Matt, greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Maybe ‘decant’ a single fish with some of the oil into a glass? I’ve seen that done in nicer restaurants before as the Maitre extols the virtues of the product to the prospective client. It allows you to really see the fish up close and to appreciate the colours and viscosity of the olive oil. Great vid as always!
Midnight February 14th 2022 Ontario Canada is 7ﾟF eating a can of sardines and blitzing a few of your episodes again. Excellent. Sardines and Maple syrup. 🍁 try it
After seeing the review and the finale, I thought you may finish it off with a shot of the olive oil. Thanks for the video, I find myself craving sardines more since I have been following you.
Oh by the way (I'm writting while watching you), the reason why high end tins like Ramon Peña sardinillas are out of this world is because they are not "sardinella aurita", sprats or brislings, they are "sardina pilchardus" before the grow up, flavour profile is completely different from what you know as little sardines. Ramon Peña and La Brujula told me personally some time ago.
Hi there, Matt! Those Pena 'dines look like my kinda of fish! I love the MN Polar sardines, but I'd like to find one that is not quite as smoked, a little firmer, and not so much tail. I'm kinda cheap, though. 😊 And I'm trying to eat 5-6 cans a day for my inflammation. Have you come across any sardines that are comparable to Pena but with a similar price to Polar? Thank you, my fishy friend ❤️
Please do an autopsy. I want to know west those extra bits are. I always think they are either their stomach contents or maybe liver or roe/eggs? Either way I’m not keen on eating that. I remove. Expert insight would be awesome
Mother ate sardines on toast a lot when we were kids, I never liked them. I think it might have been the idea of the bones turning me off. I do like canned mackerel in olive oil, and they're a fishy fish, so I'm thinking it's time to try sardines again. And I did like your hair on the longer side, but the cut is nice, too. Thanks for another great review!
I'll bet you can handle sardines today. I liked the hair too, but it was just too thick, too hot. Nothing worse than blow drying my mop and then walking outside into the heat.
What is a good price for a can of Pena sardines? Also, have you tried KO Royal Follets Mackerel Mediterranean Style Skinless &Boneless? Very good actually. Hard to believe you can’t find mackerel in white vinegar with spices here. Facebook sells some at $12-$22 a can. They sell for 2-3 euros a can in France.
$12 is what I pay for Penas. I think it's okay, considering. I don't eat them every day! I think I have tried those KO mackerels. They're very good. I wasn't aware of a mack with vinegar. I'll have to do some research when I finally get around to checking out the many KO mack flavors.
I just tried my first tin of Yurrita small sardines: FANTASTIC!! I will definitely need to buy more for my tinned seafood pantry. I have a few tins of Ramón Peña small sardines too, but I haven't tried them yet. Will do that soon.
There are a lot of great sardines that are cheaper, but I haven't found anything else just like them. So they are special, even if they aren't "better" than cheaper sardines. For what it's worth, one can is enough for two salads. So not a terrible deal for protein, especially one that's convenient to prepare.
I couldn't find that brand on Amazon. Have not seen them in my local health food stores either. The quality of the olive oil is pretty important to me since I pour it on my salads along with the sardines. Looks like the top was not that easy to open. Will try them if I can find a can.
@@CannedFishFiles That reply encouraged me to pick up another 8 tins this afternoon. Came home and made sardine pupu. The onion didn't do anything for me nor did it soften from the ice water. The sauce was out of this world awesome. th-cam.com/video/JwJ0-Prh8wA/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=FOOD%26WINE I skipped the oils and waters. Sauteed the dines in their oil, added soy sauce, red chili flakes, and apple cider vinegar. I licked the plate clean after.
@@hoobeydoobey1267 Hot damn, you're living your best life! Congrats on a good meal. I oughta cook some more. They just don't make it too long after I've opened the can.
Haven't had in 15 yrs and want to give a GO! Can you recommend your top 4 brand and flavor? The small ones and mid sized seem okay. Just want the best of the best experience 😊 I know your a fan of Nuri and RP Anyone else has preference/feedback please LMK. Edit: No water brine ones 🙏
Yeah, RP and Yurrita are great. If you haven't tried them in a while, just start at the grocery store and give some King Oscars a shot. If you're ready to get back into it, you'll like them fine.
Love your sick, brainy music. Sounds like a robot thinking. Make some deenz with a spaghetti recipe! I got a few recipes if you need. One is Sicilian with lemon.
Busy now. I will send a delicious, easy 10 minute prep time Sicilian recipe. Basically, olive oil, saute onions and garlic, with lemon rind and lemon juice. Spiced with oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Put deenz in at the end since they're already cooked. Add pasta!. You can also TH-cam search, " Mark Bittman sardines with spaghetti. He has a video almost like my receipt. I don't use the capers, parsley or toasted bread other wise it's identical. You can make it all in a few minutes. It is delicious!
One day I need to try sardines of this quality. I eat $2 cans of smoked latvian sardines and, while they're perfectly fine and I enjoy them, this looks like an entirely different game.
I love it when things are good feels like it shouldn't even need to be said but these days it's actually a surprise when products function as they're supposed to smh my head

The 40 seconds of saxophone Dual of the Fates while you absolutely housed 2/3 of a can of sardines was amazing
The audio (music) is always fantastic. I am assuming it’s home generated. Such a perfect combo with the video.

Looks like we need a sardine festival with a competitive eating aspect.
I get so excited when I get a notification from this channel that there's a new upload!

@@CannedFishFilesyou have an amazon review mention on the big big bottle.

You get a lot of Peña..😆
Eight bucks,better have knee bone connected to the leg bone,spine bones connected to your wallet and....😆

Old ladies love me. But maybe after I've been breathing down their necks begging for table scraps they'll be ready for me to leave.
Where'd you get that shirt?! I need that shirt.
You know, I can't remember.
I am a former ichthyologist! You do a brilliant job on your own 😊
Are these ‘dines available in stores in the DC area? Or just by mail order?
I got my first can today because of you. Let's see how I do. I don't see any videos of the brands I have in Canada. So I'm worried. Lol.
How was it?
The addams family sound- I'm here to find all the pinball Easter eggs now. State championship is this weekend, wish me luck 🤞
The first one was good looking sardeans we would get cans of really small as a kid the bone barely crunched
Canada Dry is the king of flavored sparkling waters! Never seen that pomegranate cherry flavor before. How is it?
I think it was okay. It was a long time ago!
Now I gotta have these too !
I hope one day you can do a video/documentary where you visit sardine fishing ports and canneries
I thought the Ramon Pena's box looked like a pack of expensive Russian cigarettes.
I've never eaten sardines but always find my self on this channel late at night when I'm hungry 🙃
