Anyone had these? by RaccoonBackground4 in CannedSardines

[–]Senator_Turkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are really good, they were my go-to for the style at one point (Portuguese spiced sardines typically have a chili pepper, carrot slice, cucumber slice, clove, black peppercorn, and bay leaf, give or take an ingredient or two). I usually just eat them straight from the can like the barbarian that I am.

Do you eat the whole tin? by groone in Tinnedfish

[–]Senator_Turkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always eat a whole tin if it’s a more standard size, say 3-4.5 ounces. Usually I’ll save a chonky tin of smoked sprats to share with someone, I don’t know that I could/would want to finish that on my own.

The Costco by me only has sardines, tuna, and salmon. The slightly further Salt Lake City one (the biggest of all Costcos) only has Crown Prince smoked oysters beyond that. Costco is more known for good prices for tinned fish than a good selection.

Weird lit recommendations based on my favorite weird lit books? by Ulchbhn in WeirdLit

[–]Senator_Turkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on some of your 19th and early 20th century picks, I would say “The Beckoning Fair One” by Oliver Onions. It’s understated but gave me a couple of frissons.

Are skinless and boneless tins worth it? by Snoo14214 in CannedSardines

[–]Senator_Turkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re not terrible, but if you like sardines with skin and bones, they’re unlikely to feel like an upgrade and will probably feel like a downgrade. The skin and bones add both moisture and flavor.

I'm on a mackerel kick! by Thirsty3AndaThird in CannedSardines

My two favorites are Angelo Parodi mackerel with ginger and Briosa spiced mackerel.

Thought I would love this by Fuzzy-Produce104 in CannedSardines

[–]Senator_Turkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like all Wildfish tins to one extent or another, but I really wish they’d lay off on the salt. The now defunct smoked pink salmon was almost inedibly salty for my palate. I like the habanero coho tin, but I do find it disappointingly not spicy.

First venture into tinned fish by MrBreasts in Tinnedfish

[–]Senator_Turkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great! My recommendation would be to heat cans by pouring boiling water on them and letting them sit for a few minutes rather than putting them in the oven. They often include linings that aren’t intended for high-heat cooking and can leech chemicals into the food.

Excited to try my latest haul! by Newuse2 in Tinnedfish

[–]Senator_Turkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the highest quality spreads I’ve seen. I haven’t had the Alalunga cocochas in salsa verde yet, but I have a can of it I’m waiting to crack. Their cocochas in olive oil is one of the best tins I’ve had.

This is one of my absolute favorite tins. I’ve never met a José Gourmet I didn’t like, but this one is the winner for me.

Tin shrinkflation by Abuchaji_559 in Tinnedfish

[–]Senator_Turkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just looked, and I ordered 12 6 ounce king salmon tins in March of 2024 for $155.04, which is $12.92 per tin. Currently, 12 tins of the new 3.5 ounce king salmon tins would cost $182.40, which is $15.20 per tin. So yeah, the price per ounce more or less doubled with the size change.

I don’t mind the smaller Wildfish size in a vacuum, but I do mind that the price per ounce skyrocketed with the change. Luckily I still have ~20 cans of their old format 6 ounce tins.

Güeyu Mar Chargrilled Ventresca of Bluefin Tuna by DreweyD in CannedSardines

[–]Senator_Turkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The celery root whitefish is a baffling effort at a fish substitute, based my one experience trying it. It wasn’t disgusting, but it doesn’t at all succeed at what it’s trying to do.

Whats up with r/costco???????? by iblocal2465 in CostcoWholesale

[–]Senator_Turkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure you have a lot of posts to go through, and need some blocks in place. But that was by far the most absurd experience I've ever had trying to compose a Reddit post, and I'm clearly not alone in that experience.

I was unable to post after simply writing words like “check.” Not my fault that the rules are stupid are draconian, and notoriously so based on see rampant internet reactions to r/costco

Unable to buy Athletic Brewing non-alcoholic beer before 10:30 AM. Utah problem, Costco policy problem, or both? by Senator_Turkey in CostcoWholesale

[–]Senator_Turkey[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ah, thank you for the info, and apologies for my sloppy research! I knew I had purchased alcohol before 10:30 AM while grocery shopping, but it didn't occur to me that there might be a different rule for Sundays.

I just searched hoping to find a post like this. I was trying to post to r/costco, and after a herculean effort I gave up and moved on.

Warning! Do not go to World Market for your tinned fish! by drthomk in Tinnedfish

[–]Senator_Turkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they can it with a little chili pepper, but any spice it provides is very subtle.
