What's the deal with USAggots and sardines?
I see it being recommend as one of the best protein sources here every day. We the europoors have deenz too, but it is not a big deal. Here we have better and cheaper fish-in-can alternatives, like anchovies, squid, tuna, mackerel...
Why deenz arr more meme'd than other fish preserves?

Those are some cheap looking deenz bro
But they are a good source of protein, quick, ready to eat.

they're fucking delicious

>fish-in-can alternatives, like anchovies, squid, tuna, mackerel...

so do we fuckface

You guys eat the sardines whole right? I’ve heard that some people gut them and take out the spine, but I’ve always just eaten them whole.

>some people gut them and take out the spine

only homosexuals do that

Sardines are great, cheap, sustainably caught, and have very low mercury. Tilapia and tuna on the other hand have pretty high mercury and should be avoided most of the time. Atlantic mackerel is my personal favorite choice for a fish to snack on or toss in a salad.

>sustainably caught
This is the only point I'd dispute.

The original pic has vegetable oil, watch out american bro

So why only deenz are meme'd?
I remove the spine. Sardines are the cheapest quality fish option here, and the spine is just the cherry on top of that.
OP is faggot.

they come gutted dumbass

you can buy boneless filets if you are a pussy that wants to be calcium deficient

>The original pic has vegetable oil, watch out american bro
If the deenz ain't in olive oil then they're not for me
I don't trust those with vegetable, cottonseed, or basedbean oil

don't knock deenz in tomato sauce

love me some deenz but absolutely fucking hate the taste they leave in my mouth afterwards
I can still taste them hours later even after using mouthwash

Naw I mean the ones in oil.
They cheaper ones tend to plop them in shitty oils I wouldn't feed to my worst enemy.
Some with sauce are okay but I prefer to add my own to them. I had one with mustard in them it was inedible the quality of mustard was so bad. The person who bought them for me didn't know any better.

Amerifags? This is exclusively a Any Forumsizen thing as far as I’ve seen. No one else it telling me to eat fish period.

This shit looked like turds in a toilet bowl in the thumbnail, and when I enlarged it... it still did.

How about water?

Water is fine I like to use sardine in water for when I make my own tomato sauce to put them in.

>very low mercury
This is the main reason I go for Deenz, they have some like BPP less mercury than tuna. When I was initially researching it, I found that it comes down to the size of the ocean creature. The way mercury accumulates in bigger creatures is exponentially more than smaller ones.

I want to share my favourite dish with deenz. I recommend it.
>DEENZ PASTA
Start with an onion, garlic and tomato sofrito using the olive oil from the cans, but save the deenz for later.
Sauce that sofrito with black pepper and fennel, finish it with a splash of vinegar.
Add the secret ingredient: raisins.
Now it's time to mix the deenz. Some people drop them on the sofrito and cook them hard, some people place them raw on the next step.
Serve over pasta and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon juice, but you can skip the pasta for cutting.
Optional: add bread crumbs if bulking.
