There are some very strange varieties of canned fish here

Lately I have been trying them. I like my canned tuna sandwiches. Quick and dirty, just stir them up with some mayo and spread on bread.

I find tuna with onions very interesting. There are some little green things in there that I can’t identify.

Also, the canned tuna with tomato sauce and chili oil is just…weird. Aren’t you only supposed to do that with sardines?

There are more varieties of canned tuna here and canned fish products than I have ever seen before.

I thunk canned sardines are good for my bones, I like to mix the spicy ones with tabasco sauce.

I have never tried the canned herring or the mackerel.

I want to try everything. Please tell me about your canned fish creations. Loads of protein and doesn’t dirty the kitchen, what more could a man want?

My ex-housemate is from Newcastle. Suffice to say, his taste is at the best of times precarious.
He once made me a tuna sandwhich where he’d mixed the tuna with VINEGAR! :astonished: “Cos that’s what me Mum does, kid.”

I now only eat my tuna sandwiches with vinegar. :lick: There’s something to be said for the eccentricities of the Great Unwashed from the North.

I’m not sure about tuna with vinegar. But maybe it would taste good with a whiter fish.

I must go out and try more varieties of canned fish.Mmm, I bet vinegar would be really good with some of that herring stuff. Never tried it, but it just seems right. Fish oil is good for you, right? :discodance:

Well, my family, when I was a kid (we were dirt poor), had tinned sardines and vinegar on toast for breakfast once a week. It was a real bloody luxury. When we could afford tinned tuna sandwiches, (once a month), my Mum would stick mayo in it. Nary a mention of vinegar. One kinda gets stuck in these taste habits, I guess.

Canadian. I just associate vinegar with British style fish n chips, mmmm, creamy white fried fish. :lick:

You are deviating from the intended usage. These strange fish are beer food.

Try whole sardines with sliced red onions and Dijon mustard on some kind of toasted nubbly bread

Elegua, I will. That sounds delicious.

Nothing wrong with that. Down in the Home Counties we used to use sushi vinegar not like those savages Up North.

I had a tin of Sea Chicken the other day from Family Mart but it turned out to be tuna. Rather disappointing.

Have you noticed how good the cat food is here? I nearly put a tin of Whiskas on my sandwiches the other day. Mackerel. Smelt fantastic. :astonished:

We used to spread Anchovette fish paste on whole wheat toast with lashings of hot minced chilli! Yum!

Nothing like the first piece of toast smeared with Anchovette from a freshly-opened jar. :lick: Hard to find here. Only the specialist SA suppliers stock it.

Love the canned sardines in mustard sauce or the spicy tomato sauce but every time I see them, they are about 100 NT for a small tim. Ridiculous price so I don’t often buy them but anybody sees them for about 30 NT per tin, PLEASE give me a heads up.

Yeah, that stuff is addictive! Spread on some hot toasted boerebrood spread thickly with plaasbotter!
