[QUOTE="911, post: 897787, member: 11221"] Sardines are all wild caught and fairly sustainable. I like the ones in round cans packed in tomato sauce, it cuts the fishiness a bit. Chop a chive or two, add some powdered chili pepper and black pepper, eat with bread. [img=600x400][URL]https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JVY3trMQX0E/WjoYaudflFI/AAAAAAAADP4/71QvgCN-adIozg0nwfrNuV_hXVNQB_upwCLcBGAs/s1600/Canned%2BSardine%2Bin%2BTomato%2BSauce%2B125g%2BProduct.jpg[/img][/URL] [img=600x400][URL]https://previews.123rf.com/images/noomrose/noomrose1704/noomrose170400135/75620846-spicy-fish-canned-sardines-salad-canned-fish-in-tomato-sauce.jpg[/img][/URL] Those cans are usually available in ethnic asian stores (chinese), usually at C$1 per and sometimes on sale for 2 for a dollar. Canned sardines are a great no-fuss snack, but you guys should try a mediterrannean-style treat of grilled fresh (frozen) sardines. Frozen sardines are about the same price as canned sardines, usually from portuguese brands.
