    Hi!!😊 Do you gravitate towards oil or water in your sardines? Thanks so much for watching!

    • @eddiemoore8468
      @eddiemoore8468 19 днів тому +2

      I would go more for the oil than water. They are just bland with water. Even with different sauces, to me, they still have a watery taste. The Melinda’s sauce that contains Habaneros in it, can explain why it’s more intense. They rank as some very hot peppers. Just keep experimenting with your different sauces and you’ll come up with some great combinations……😁

      @ Hi Eddie!! I love the oil too. It’s the texture with the water than just doesn’t rope me in. I don’t mind them though and can eat them. I find sardines in a good oil just don’t need doctored up most of the time! I can just gobble them down the way they are! Thanks for watching!☺️

    Usually the first step I take, is to dump the water out. It just doesn't do me any good. Then comes the Hot Sauce, mustard or whatever. I rarely eat the Deens in Water. Usually it's at least Olive Oil or some of the flavors and spices. Cool find with the Melinda's Assortment pack. I'll have to look for those. I really like Melinda's Hot Sauces. I like the Fire Roasted Garlic and also the Ghost Pepper are my favorite Melinda's Sauces. And my all time favorite is Yellow Bird Habanero. Good stuff.

    Great review! And thank you for letting me know about the King Oscar sardines in water. I like fish packed in water (salmon, tuna, etc.) so I tried sardines packed in water and got the Crown Prince sardines in water. Not good. I like pilchards, so that wasn't the problem. The problem was so many scales they were inedible. I had a 12 pack so I've been feeding them to the local crows (who don't have a problem with the scales). But the King Oscars look pretty good. Thank you also for the review of Melinda's hot sauces, which I have never tried. Love your channel! 💖🐟 Winston is the best.

    In the U.K.tinned fish are regularly packed in ' spring ' water , I guess to market to consumers that think the oil is calorific and make them obese. If I'm going with water I would opt for brine, for example tuna or white anchovies. Love the video.

    Howdy from Texas.
    The only benefit to buying sardines in water as opposed to sardines in oil is that the water, in a decent brand, is generally tasteless and benign. Whereas oils, especially cheaper oils can impart a slightly stronger flavor onto the sardines.
    And since I like to dress my sardines up with different sauces. And since I don't really care for the cheap tasteless sauces most brands put into their flavored sardines. I could argue that those canned in Water would be a much better candidate for draining and adding your own sauces to them. Aka dressing them up. But I have to admit. As long as it's a decent neutral flavored oil. Then the sardines themselves appear to retain more of their body's consistency and texture. Whereas those in water I have almost always found to be overly mushy.
    I'm guessing when you mentioned the Polar bristling sardines being mushier than the King Oscar sardines that you tried. That you were talking about the regular square tin of sardines and not the round tin with the transparent plastic lids. Because the Polars in the round tin are my favorite regular sardines. I have always found their firmness and texture far superior to the King Oscar bristling sardines. They definitely come out of the tin intact more consistently than the King Oscars do.

    • @SardineExpedition
      @SardineExpedition  18 днів тому +2

      Yes, I was referring to the polars in water in the rectangle can. I did a review on them. They were super mushy with a pond water taste. I really like the polars in the round can/clear lid too. I have a big stack of them I keep on hand!

    For hot sauces, I like Louisiana Hot Sauce for flavour, and Tobasco brand for heat and quality. If you haven't seen a video on making Tobasco, it's worth watching. When reading the label, look at the first is ingredients. One of these will be first: peppers, vinegar or sugar. That will tell you what the sauce is like. Heat, vinegar or sweet.

      @SardineExpedition Lately, I've been snacking on Doritos. They get some cheddar on top and then into the oven. I served them with my home made chilli and Walmart Salsa. Sometimes the doritos can be very hot. The Taiwan Garlic ones are my current favorite. On another note, the Spicy Tropical.Fusion seem to be universally hated. In the old days, I used to eat the spiciest of the doritos. Chips are another option to adding spice.

    I wanted to make a recommendation that you expand of your reviews to include hot sauces. Especially the many lesser known bottled hot sauces that are readily available at grocery stores. Minimum heat should be Habanero and work up the pepper hot scale from there. Honestly, I never thought sardines that are pre-flavored with peppers, mustard or hot sauce made sense when all I want is the best sardines and I can dress them up as I see fit. What other sauces besides hot sauces go well with sardines?

    Wow! Good timing. I just had my Pampa soup can sardines in brine (water). Bland. WASHED OUT. I haven’t been buying them in water or nut oils (bad for you). I chili peppered and hot sauced mine. Are ANY great? All seem to be candidates for meal dishes. There’s not enough love in there to be eaten by themselves, or with a bland cracker.
    Fisherman’s eggs is on my list to try these watery ones on. Kippers, eggs, and buttered toast is a winner.
    Ask the question, “Do you drink and suck out the remaining liquids left in the sardine tin?” I do. I licked out the Chicken of the Sea Hot Louisiana sauce one. SO Good! But you have Winton there for that I guess.

      These were the best brislings in water I’ve had so far. I can eat them and not complain, but they aren’t my fav. I’m just not a fan of the texture in water. I use up good oils in the cans that are leftover, but not the water. Winston loves it. 😁.

Maybe the Brunswick is the more expensive one since they took the bones out. (But that's my calcium for the day!) 😧
      Did get some fresh cilantro. They didn’t have parsley. I will try this guy’s Fisherman’s eggs recipe.

    IMO, you should never can a saltwater fish in fresh water because the fish will absorb the freshwater, causing its cells to swell and compromising its taste, texture, and overall quality due to the difference in salinity between the fish's internal environment and the freshwater; essentially, the fish will become watery and mushy..................and, it is a trick used by industry to make the fish weigh more.

    I used to get sardines in water, but after watching your videos, I buy sardines in EVOO. Also, I could share the water with my border collies and my cat. Too much EVOO gives them "the runs." Those hot sauces sounded good UNTIL you got to the one with Passion Fruit. I can't stand passion fruit! Bartles & James used to make a wine cooler in the 1980s that was based in passion fruit. Nasty stuff. But that's just me. You once said you don't eat canned salmon because you have easy access to fresh salmon where you live. So why are you eating sardines if fresh salmon is easy to get there??? Not criticizing, just curious. THANKS for this video!!

      I’m not a fan of the actual passion fruit either, but whatever they did with the combo in that sauce was good!!! Oh my gosh I haven’t heard Barles and James in so long. That is funny! I actually have several cans of salmon to try. I never gravitated towards them because our freezer is stacked with salmon and I just don’t crave it the way I do sardines. There’s just something about sardines that I can’t get enough of! 😁

    Oil. Always oil. Only olive oil, I'll always take a pass on soy or canola oil ones.

      Smart man. Though try Louisiana hot sauce (delicious) and maybe mustard. Otherwise, follow the Sardine Queen Heather.

    Sardines in water are for cats as far as I'm concerned. Maybe as an ingredient buried in another dish

    Eating all of those sardines is making you look HOT. You are getting better looking every video. You should do a meet and greet someday. Just eat the tinned bait fish and get better looking every day. Just think how your cells are protected by the good Omega fats.

      Haha well thank you! I’ve been eating better in general. Got kind of sloppy end of year. They do make me feel so much better when I’m on track. So good for us 😁
