Literally all of it.. but my current favorite is trader joes smoked herring and smoked trout. But there is always a place in my heart for any sardine.

Yes to all. I prefer Portugal and Spain or the Baltic states for fish. the American brands are now junk fish from Indonesia or Vietnam.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Kippers are king in my book. Love them, and have since I was a little kid. My folks didn’t like them. Never had the. Growing up at all. Tried some somewhere after college and my reaction was: where have you been all my life!!! One day l, I will convert my kids to kippers and sardines. They shall not grow up deprived of delicious little fishies! Wifey’s a lost cause.

Quote HistoryNo… I’ve never tried it. But I’ve seen it made. Spent a year in AK hiking after college. Took lots of jobs to make money in the trail. A couple of those were working canneries during season. I was always a ‘butcher’ because I was older and could process a fish. But I saw the ‘pinks’ line, and saw the fish going in… Fucking awful. Really. If you like it, cool. Maybe I’ve seen the sausage making and it’s turned me off. But man, GOOD salmon is so damn good. I’ve filleted Kings that were sixty plus pounds. Amazing fish. And all the row that gets graded for export to Asia… Pinks literally get thrown on a machine that mechanically guts them, skins them, heads them, and ‘mechanically separates’ the meat. And these are pinks, which are the smallest and least desirable salmon. And so many of them are just floppy and gross… I was in AK for a year and never ate pink. You do you, but I won’t eat that. Pretty good time, but you see how the cheap stuff is made. |

I've had homemade canned steelhead, ok not great. Homemade canned tuna is awesome.
I think of sardines, herring, and mackerel as bait. Once in a while I'll buy the little tins of smoked oysters. On a ritz with a drop of hot sauce they're pretty good. Probably horrible healthwise but whatever. |

They're practically superfoods. I mean, I like sardines well enough, but the whole point of this thread was to find a source of omega-3 rich food. The only other place I get a lot of omega-3s is from brussels sprouts. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Pass on the mackerel, mercury is a problem. Season sardines are the best imo. The only mackerel high in mercury is King Mackerel. The completely different species in Season brand canned mackerel is Atlantic Chub Mackerel -- a much smaller fish and low in mercury. Compared to sardines, Atlantic Chub Mackerel is milder tasting, softer, and oiler. Atlantic Chub Mackerel  King Mackerel  I only have a few cans of their mackerel.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Thanks guys. I ordered some mackerel in olive oil. Trying to get my Omega 3 ratio up and get rid of some inflammation. Wanting to see if I can tolerate the mackerel, and if not I’ll go back to sardines. Just as a precaution I ordered more hot sauce. And lime juice. Mackerel in olio is my favorite canned fish. Beware if you have gout as it has really high purines. |

I dont cook and I almost always eat out.
Having said that, I do keep a few things in the house that are pretty much "open and eat" and I store food. These are damned good and at least a 5 year shelf life.  Also, about anything from these folks. :format(webp)/d2lnr5mha7bycj.cloudfront.net/product-image/file/large_8277f3f7-2fac-4557-b341-3581ab5f28f9.jpeg) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So I've never had mackerel. How's it taste compared to sardines or herring? I love canned fish and mackerel is pretty yucky. This is from a guy who bought and ate canned , smoked octopus from Walmart on purpose. What you want is Polar brand smoked(kippered) herring. It was pretty cheap in Amazon but everything has gone up. Sometimes you find it at Dollar Tree. Polar is the best bang for the buck. They have larger cans of salmon that are good. |

Overall best: canned oysters (or most any shellfish) and pickled herring and smoked salmon.
Otherwise, or the canned fish: 1. Herring 2. Mackerel 3. Sardines 4. Tuna 5. Salmon |
