    Glad you enjoyed! The differences between regular and extra are: Extra is made with three piri-piri peppers per tin instead of the usual one, AND stored for a minimum of three months before being released so that the capsaicin has time to suffuse through the contents of the tin.

      @@keeanmorishita8457 The heat level isn’t changed. How much that level of heat has permeated the flesh of the fish may change, up to maximum absorption, which no one has tested. Imagine adding a drop of ink to a glass of water. Eventually, Brownian motion will evenly distribute the molecules. Same with the heat. The tin can’t spontaneously generate more capsaicin molecules, but over time they will diffuse fully into the contents.

    Got my A man zone order of the Extry Spicy Nuris a few days ago. Just dove deep into the first can. 4 chile's from parts unknown. At least 2 maybe even 3 cucumber slices that fell apart picking them up. 3 big pilchards. And have mercy! This can of Nuri's lit me up like a pinball machine hooked up to 220v. The burn was nice but faded fast after about 10 minutes. I usually eat all my meals with pickled jalapeno's but these sardines were fantastic on their own. Muchas gracias Matthew for turning me on to these super wombat ono grindz. I should also mention I drank the oil from the can too. Y'all don't want to waste any of that goodness. Mahalo!

    Just wanted to thank you for this channel. I've been eating wild planet sardines for a while and trying to find any way possible to cover up the flavor. I ate them solely for nutritional value but one day instead of putting in my routine Amazon order I thought, why not see what else is out there?... Down through the rabbit hole, I discovered your channel and treated myself to some Nuri's, ate them straight out of the can and it was life-changing. A true appreciation for the simple things, thanks for broadening my horizons!

    New subscriber from the UK here. UA-cam offered me up your video "How to Eat Canned Sardines (ELIMINATE THE FEAR)". As a big canned fish/seafood fan, this was like Manna from Heaven and is like a conversation I've had with many of my friends!
    Having lived on the coast of France, Spain, Portugal and Turkey, these countries have eating small fish ingrained in them, unlike here in the UK where we are surrounded by water and hardly anyone ventures to experiment past Cod or Haddock. Keep up the good work. Have you tried canned octopus, mussels, sea urchins etc? I'll keep watching your videos and I'm sure I'll find that you have. Have a great day.

    It would be interesting to see which canneries belong to which brands. we need a good insider perspective on how canneries work, in terms of that. That would help to get a better idea of which products to invest in and which to avoid. For example, it seems most of the Moroccan sardines are canned similarly, with only small differences in packaging, labeling and the oils. So how does it work? do they have their own factories? or is it a shared facility that different distributors use? I guess if they add their own spices, per company, it doesn't really matter, but it still would be cool to know.

    I did end up getting some frozen roast eel when I asked her, but idk what im going to do with it, i am really sensitive to my house smelling like cooked food, and im guessing that eel is gonna be a STRONG BOI
