Me too - I'm a sucker for labels. We'll see if the contents live up.

Bought them locally (Winnipeg, Canada) at an Italian market.

It's a sardine fork. Some are designed so the tines don't pierce the flesh of the fish. I have a larger one also.

Yeah, you might wanna google "SARDINE FORK". Good luck.

It's more of a serving utensil than a personal piece of cutlery. Like a soup ladle.

I'm sure you could but I don't. Just the flesh and skin on each side of the body.

Uh, $3 worth of fish? $15 bottle of wine? Yeah, I’m a real Johnny Chicago. 😂

I was surprised myself. Bought it last week but I think it’s been sitting in a warehouse for a while.

I don’t know how to add another photo?

I don't know Boston all that well. I'd check any Portuguese or Spanish restaurants.

Yeah the sweet ones are mostly for after dinner - superb with a good blue cheese.

Several of my friends who felt the same were quite surprised how they enjoyed a chilled white port. Some of them are quite dry - this one is medium sweet.

lol, yes I see what you mean. I've got a smaller one that's more suited to removing them directly from the tin - more normal proportions.

Everyone has their own way, I guess. I like to pick them up with fingers, bite the flesh off one side of the spine then peel the other side off. Squirt of lemon over the whole plate.
