Hi, Thomas. I was going to ask the same question - what about cod LIVERS (as opposed to the oil). AND I would love to know the nutritional difference between red and pink salmon. I assume red is superior, but is pink close enough to still rate highly on your list? Anyway, thanks again so much for another excellent, informative and interesting video - even if I have to breathe for you half the time bcz you talk so fast, it feels like YOU aren't breathing, lol.
I am 62 years old and started eating canned sardines. Mostly in water sometimes in EVOO. I have worked construction, heavy lifting, concrete and carpentry all my life. Joint pain seemed to be a fall-out from doing this. Since the caned sardines, my joint pain has disappeared. I'm a believer in its health benefits. Great video and thanks.
When I opened my lunch box in work, my colleagues used to comment on the contents, usually anchovies, lumpfish caviar, cockles and other fish products, mostly good natured comments. Occasionally there would be criticism that I ate ‘any crap’. The biggest culprit was a 34 year old who lived on fast food and weighed about 18 stone and looked older than me at 63 years old. I’ve been retired for years now, still in good health and still eating tinned fish.
How do you do it man? I try so hard I got one and I was surprised to see it had skin and bones I tried really hard to stomach it and removes the bones and skin. But I kept dry heaving while trying to remove said skin and bones and then just ended up throwing up. And I was like yeah no I’m done. CLEARLY my body doesn’t want this. Is there any easy way to remove skin and bones? What do you do?

My depression era father ate sardines from the can. And snacked also on saltines in milk in a tall glass Always thought it was interesting but now at 66 I need to try it. Now that this wonderful video educated me on the nutrition
Rice + sardines (the can with tomato sauce and a red chilli) + spinach, throw in pan and heat together. I'll throw a tbsp of mayo in there too for the flavor. People think I'm gross but I eat this regularly. If you're hungry , your mouth will water! If you are repulsed, then you're not really hungry.
Interesting. One thing worth noting is that some brands use extra virgin olive oil, where others use some of the worst quality seed oils. I actually have been preferring the olive oil over the water for the taste and the healthy omega 9-3 ratio I get combined. I figure I get way more than enough omega 6s in the USA by osmosis. LOL
I ate sardines for the first time in my life today. I'm 58. Wild Planet brand packed in water. Absolutely shocked that they tasted almost just like tuna. A bit stronger maybe. I was floored. I expected them to be AWFUL. I had the horseradish and hot sauce at the ready to choke them down with but didn't even need it. I want to eat them for medicinal purposes. Very high nutrition in small amount of weight.

@@robinholbrook8296try the ones in tomato sauce. The canned ones vary a lot in taste too. Bigger sardines in water can taste terrible.

We use to get smoked Kippers in a pan (cans are round and tall) from England when I was a kid. I just found King Oscar in Walmart. Very good. We use to eat them with malt vinegar and crackers. If food shortages are coming, I think canned fish are a great stock up item.
Wild planets products are amazing! I love their tuna and sardines! They’re high quality and taste great. Thanks to costco for carrying wild planets items.
I highly recommend pink salmon. Mild flavor and a good, low mercury, substitute for tuna. You can also get it with bones et al. Very good if you don't mind the crunch.
I've found a brand of excellent sardines, Thomas, that may be an exception to your no oil rule. Brunswick uses extra virgin olive oil, at least in some of its products. I had the Gourmet Brisling Sardines topped with Jalapeno Slices in the aforementioned oil, and quite liked it, For one thing the oil was very light and flavorful -- just enough to cover the fish.
Tonight I put a can of sardines in my salad and it was fabulous. Was not overwhelming at all. Another idea I had is making collard wraps with avocado, sardines, cabbage, carrots.
Here is some info on salmon species and other wild Alaskan seafood: If you ever get a chance to eat wild herring roe harvested on a spruce branch, lightly blanched, holy moly, is the best roe out there! It tastes SO good, it works really well on a small seaweed salad with sesame seeds. Also, Jumbo or Super Jumbo wild Alaskan Spot Prawns almost always have roe on them! The life cycle of a Spot Prawn is that they are male until they reach a certain size, then they become female, so when you get larger wild Spot Prawns, they should all be females. Also - what do you have to say about shelf stable smoked salmon? The smoked salmon I have is canned in a jar, and not as "fishy", and always has bones and skin in. Also, just as a reference for people, the alternative name for a sockeye salmon is a red salmon, and other, more traditional names for a Keta salmon are dog and chum salmon. The other salmon species are, Coho, aka Silver salmon, Pink, aka humpy or Gorbuscha salmon which is the smallest and cheapest, and Chinook or King salmon, which are the more rare and biggest, and can be very fatty. All these salmon species are very good, and keep a keen eye out for Atlantic salmon, that is almost always farmed. They also farm Keta(Dog/Chum) and King(Chinook) Salmon as far away as New Zealand.. talk about the opposite of local/sustainable for those of you ANYWHERE But the South Pacific! Just some words of advice from your Alaskan Commercial fisherwoman viewer!
How often do you think we can eat canned sardines per week? I ate my first can of sardines yesterday and I could feel the good effects almost immediately. I felt very nourished, my brain fog lifted, and I didn’t think about food again for many hours. I also had a bit of San marzano tomatoes, garlic, and a bit of purple baby potatoes with cilantro. It was delicious.
i always get my canned fish in EVOO and always will. Cost is much higher, but I eat KETO so I consider it more of a plus. I also get herring, but smoked or kippered, which is i brine generally.
I love kippers snacks and smoked oysters …. My typical breakfast is… 1-2 hard boiled egg.. I can of kipper snacks, 1 avocado.. sometimes a piece of whole grain bread toasted Blueberries or watermelon
It took me over a month on Keto to adjust to it and be able to fully understand most of your videos, but I am getting better at it. You are so thorough that I use you as the litmus test as to what is the best source of information for nutrition and Keto by far.
Solid video! A few more notes: Salmon - Kirkland Signature Salmon (my former go-to) has only 1.5g fat per serving, or 3g per can. If you're looking for a substantial dose of omega-6's, sadly, this ain't it. Sardines - Under "bad" should be that they are often canned in sauces of unknown quality. Also, the "olive oil" in canned sardines solid in the USA is likely mostly, if not entirely, seed oil. Check for 3rd party testing credentials and reports. Herring - Herring and sardines are in the Clupeidae family (along with shad) and, in canned products, are often used interchanged.
Both herring and sardines are members of the herring family so I’m guessing the breakdown of herring is a lot more like sardines than mackerel. Also canned herring is about as common as canned sardines...no carbs added...that’s at walmart ...worlds biggest grocery store...
I think sardines can cause some issues from hight arsenic amount. I also mostly choose canned fish in olive oil as it seems to have better selected parts and retains more taste and texture when stored for longer times.
If you add a little bit of organic avocado oil mayonnaise to canned salmon, it’s absolutely delicious and takes away the fishiness. If you’re at work, mix it in ahead of time at home. When you open it it won’t be as bad.
Thank you for always simplifying everything. Your videos are so easy to understand and I appreciate you taking the time to break things down and justify your ratings.
@@lifetheslowway I drain oil, squeeze lemon and Frank's Red Hot on top, then put them (whole) on crackers. I like Wasa and Ryvita crackers. I can eat them everyday. I prefer the small sardines--my favorite brand is King Oscar, Cross Pack--they're very small. I can only find them at Publix (grocery store near me).
Nicole Valle Gross I eat the tomato, mustard, and hot sauce versions straight out of the can with a spoon... Great delicious emergency food, or take camping, or a construction job site, (I’m not creative with food)
This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "simple home workout routine to build muscle" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Zanabriel Workout Weevilled - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my brother in law got excellent results with it.
I always eat canned sardines, and usually I’d eat them with rice and eggs as breakfast. They’re good too as a quick lunch or dinner. So I’m good! Thanks Matt!
Love all of the Wild Planet products, great quality and flavor! If I'm away from home and know that I'm going to be breaking a fast, I grab a can of tuna to go (easy open can and less funky smell). I'm not allowed to bring sardines after spilling a can in the car 😱 Thanks for the info and ratings!
I buy canned sardines at Costco in olive oil. I drain off the olive oil and mix in mustard, olive tapenade, and lemon juice. The cans are good until 2024 so I stock them and have enough for a few months just in case.
I really like mackerel in olive oil is that okay I mean the olive oil as long as it's not vegetable oil. I'll get them in water but usually the mackerel I always see is in olive oil .
Thank you, I am not doing Keto now but I am considering it again. I am over 50. I always liked my shape but now my gut is taking over, I am now thankful of my breast they camouflage my stomach a little. I've watch several of your videos this morning . I was looking for recipes but I got much more, I already have sardines, tuna, mackerel and canned salmon. I am going to do omelet with can salmon and onions.
I watched a Dr. saying the olive oil is good to protect from the nasty from the can and also the olive oil is great for omega 3 combined with fish that’s why the Mediterranean diet is healthy because they consume lots of fish with olive oil.
This is a very interesting and useful video - I am pleased I came across it. I am also happy that you mentioned Roe. This is very easily available in most UK supermarkets (usually as cods roe) and I have always enjoyed eating it.
This is tremendous, thank you! I'm looking into eating way more fish. My Russian roomate works as a mover, all he eats is fish, potatoes, tea, vegetables and pasta. And he's built like a brick outhouse! I dont even think he lifts as all! Just diet and manual labour.
Thank you for the video, it is very helpful. I do wonder... I've started getting my fish in olive oil where possible. I can understand not wanting soy or other oils, but what is the beef with olive oil? If you are going to get tuna try to get Skipjack, it's much lower in mercury. For me (a diabetic) the high caloric densisty of Mackerel is a net positive when stocking for emergencies. Most emergency food is very carb heavy, knowing this about Mackerel was VERY helpful.
Thomas didn't mention pink salmon, but it's the cheapest of the three canned salmons and although perhaps the lowest fat, still has a decent amount fo fat, plus it is the mildest of the salmon taste, which although some might call "fishy", I think of salmon is the best kind of fish taste. Compared to salmon, those white fish, like halibut, cod, catfish, tilapia, etc are boring, plus either actually unhealthy or just totally neutral, like conventional chicken breast, protein and not much else. Pink salmon is always wild caught, sustainable, and in water. Always eat the bonez and skin, the best parts.
I pour off the Olive Oil in my sardines that I get @ Costco, put the fish in a dish and then add high quality EVO. The taste difference alone is off the hook, plus I’m assured that the majority of the oil on the fish is a known quality. Even though it states it’s olive oil, you never know...
just gotta make sure its actually olive oil, theres some brands that sell peanut oil,etc as olive oil.edit; )due to low regulation on labeling)do a little research around your local walmart,etc.
I think Thomas didn't want to get into the details of breaking a fast with a lean a protein source and adding omega-3's at the same time. Sardines in water would be perfect food spiking your MTOR which increases muscle retention. By spiking your MTOR with the protein, your insulin will not be sensitive when you eat your full meal a little later. The insulin will still work good but will be more chilled. If you watch his videos on how to break a fast, they are very informative. I lost 30 pounds and I am NOT starving one bit.
You can get anchovies (not sure about the quality of dried/salted anchovies) from any Korean grocery store - dried Myulchi. You can find tiny ones that are very portable and can be eaten just as a snack. Again, I don't know about their quality.
Good info to know. What about seafood (fresh or frozen) such as Prawns, Clams, Lobster, Snow, King, & Dungeness Crab? A video on the benefits or Pros & Cons of those would be great.
You got to get deveined shrimp, that’s when they take out the poop chute of the shrimp you don’t want to eat that. Also most shrimps are farm raised which is not good
i’ve recently started buying mackerel in a can and i’m really enjoying it. He’s right in the sense that you don’t need to add loads of mayo to mackerel compared to tuna as it is already quite scaly or moist for lack of a better term to describe it. Nice knowing it’s got way higher omega 3 too compared to tuna which is all i’ve had eaten when it comes to fish before starting mackerel.
NOTHING is "wrong" with Mayo, if you buy "Chosen"-brand,--an all avocado-oil mayo that's actually "good" for you instead of the "shite-oil" put in most mayos. It IS "pricy", but then you'll use less;)
@@jackdale9831 put your thinking cap on mate. I didn't say anything is wrong with mayo... He talks in the video about how you need to add more mayo to tuna to make it easier to eat becuase it's quite dry. Where as mackerel is quite oily and much easier to eat. Less lubrication required for mackerel than Tuna
Can you please talk about canned fish in tomato or hot sauce for the kids in the back who can't do their own research(me specifically)? Please and thank you!
Hi Thomas, have you ever considered doing a thorough video on the lymphatic system? I have been dealing with chronically swollen nodes for years and good information is really hard to come by.
I tend to avoid canned fish packed in water especially packed in US due to the manufacture’s toxic waste fluoride, chloramine and other chemicals added to most municipalities water systems in the US. Some European countries have been adding these toxic chemicals in their water but less do when I last checked. I look for organic olive oil. I won’t touch soybean oil packed fish. I understand your reasoning it is just me, I have done a lot of research on the toxic waste in water including speaking with water engineers. I have an aversion to it. I can handle the organic olive oil. Thank you for the specific kind of mackerel to purchase; need to check the cans I just purchased.
Great info thanks. How bad is the BPA lining in canned fish. Since non BPA lining canned fish is 3-4 times more expensive!? Please guide I will really appreciate it.
You can tell Thrive Market to go to hell - they wanted to know everything about me before I could even look to see what they had. They lost a customer before I even got a chance to see if I liked them or not
😂 Bunch of jokers. I’m in a privileged position of living well outside the USA where it’s easier for me to just ignore the ads because I probably couldn’t get those products shipped out anyway. Temptation is removed, basically. If they keep Tam’s lights on - fine. They’re not the be all and end all however when it comes to people’s progress anyway so I wouldn’t worry about it.
Their pricing is SO HIGH, ROBBERY MUST be their "Day-job", imho. They don't want to take phone calls {without a cell}, they don't want to sell cases, I feel "Trive" wants to KILL you, but they'll just ROB you first!
Sardines are already high in fat, I believe olive oil is better than others oils if you prefer a oil with sardines, Compare a can with or without than make your choice.
I like the sardines in extra virgin olive oil. Without the skin and bones. It has more protein ( 20 to 21 grams) the other ones have 14 to 16 grams of protein. The best brand to eat are king Oscar and wild planet.
I used to get sardines in its own (sild) oil. I would think that would be the healthiest form. I haven’t been able to find them for many years that way. I would imagine the next healthiest form would be in water-which is what l use- so l agree with Thomas.
Great Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Ponnordaz Impressive Remedy (do a search on google)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for discovering how to pack on solid muscle mass without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my close friend Aubrey got astronomical results with it.
I think it has more to do with the quality of oil they're using. At least that's why I avoid it. Even in "pure" olive oil, they can get away with some pretty terrible quality oil that is actually still cut with other oils.
I’m not sure where you are shopping for Roe, but here in Eastern Europe we have canned Roe (mostly Salmon) in every single grocery store you go into. In the USA I will admit that it is somewhat hard to find unless you go to a specialty shop.
The sardines caught off of Canada's east coast are one of the best in the world.Choose the ones in water not oil because it's probably cheap omega 6 oils
I LOVE salmon roe. As an Alaskan, I catch my own salmon. Not only do I consume the meat but also the innards including the heart, liver, roe, and sperm.
How do you like all the little white worms in the belly meat? Have you ever trimmed the belly meat and soaked it in any sort of marinade? Do this with salmon right out of the river if you haven't already but I would imagine if you eat sperm you won't care about a few live worms.
Smoked salmon is my favourite fish but canned salmon is soooo different. My favourite canned fish are sardines. 2nd favourite is mackerel. I like tuna but I find it a bit boring. In Spain there are lots of canned shellfish but I don’t like those. Sardines also have a lot of calcium 🙂 I just got a dental implant (not the full implant, just the screw in the jawbone) and I’m going to be eating looooots of sardines for the calcium and vitamin D during the next few months while the osseointegration process is taking place 🐟🐟🐟 You didn’t talk about the omega 6:3 ratio! 😲 Salmon’s ratio is great. Mackerel is better than sardines in that regard. I don’t remember about the rest 😂
Thanks for the video. I love canned fish! In Denmark we have Cod liver canned in its own oil. Most people think it's disgusting but I love it. The fat content is high but otherwise it's extremely healthy. You should try it.
What about sardines in tomato sauce? The canned sardines in my country are all sardines in tomato sauce... and another type is sardines in olive oil. I have not seen others. Are these okay?
I tried canned sardines for the first time today and absolutely loved them! You do have to be careful in your selection of the ones packed in oil because most are packed in soybean oil. However I did find the King Oscar brand whole sardines with bones and skin packed in EVOO and jalapeños! They are awesome! Definitely buying more! 👍🏻
King Oscar is good oh my god I can eat those all day which I know I shouldn’t and don’t but oh my god and not to mention how beautiful the sardines are
@@franksylva9031 for me personally I love sardines, but dislike the taste of most other fish. While they have a distinct taste, it's not really a fishy taste.
I can't believe how much better i feel and stopped aching since eating fish from cans. I was always put off by the look and smell but the results are worth it
I tend to agree, if you mix it with some infused olive oil or avocado-oil mayo and a bit of salt... and the oleic acid plus lyso+DHA is a godly fat combo... then, ya, pop some cod liver oil for your A & D ;)
I think that remark relates to adding more fat and calories that come along with the oil. Some people have deliberate reasons to add in fat and calories. Water won't add that in.
From what I've read, yes. There are different species of "sardines" also so you need to know which you're getting. Pacific Sardines live much longer than North Atlantic and from what I've read have a higher potential for heavy metals.
Sardines in olive oil are the only type of canned sardines I’ll eat since in Spain tuna is virtually the only canned fish you can find in water, so with sardines it’s either vegetable oil or olive oil, and vegetable oil is a no-no. I still don’t trust the type of olive oil they use so I drain as much as I can. There’s also sardines in tomato sauce but it has sugar in it. Canned fish in Spain is pretty good in general but it bugs me that only tuna is sold in water
Try to avoid canned fish in oil. Reasons being is because they're cut with cheap 'extra virgin olive oil,' if it even is that and also, the oils go rancid very fast and oxidize soon after their packaged so you don't know exactly how long the canned fish in oil has been sitting on the self.
Does anybody know whether it matters where canned seafood is distributed/packed? I keep hearing to avoid seafood from parts of Asia like Thailand, Vietnam, or China because of lax regulations, and I often see countries outside of the US labeled on a lot of cans, but I can't find any information on this.

If you ever get a chance to eat wild herring roe harvested on a spruce branch, lightly blanched, holy moly, is the best roe out there! It tastes SO good, it works really well on a small seaweed salad with sesame seeds.
Also, Jumbo or Super Jumbo wild Alaskan Spot Prawns almost always have roe on them! The life cycle of a Spot Prawn is that they are male until they reach a certain size, then they become female, so when you get larger wild Spot Prawns, they should all be females.
Also - what do you have to say about shelf stable smoked salmon? The smoked salmon I have is canned in a jar, and not as "fishy", and always has bones and skin in.
Also, just as a reference for people, the alternative name for a sockeye salmon is a red salmon, and other, more traditional names for a Keta salmon are dog and chum salmon.
The other salmon species are, Coho, aka Silver salmon, Pink, aka humpy or Gorbuscha salmon which is the smallest and cheapest, and Chinook or King salmon, which are the more rare and biggest, and can be very fatty. All these salmon species are very good, and keep a keen eye out for Atlantic salmon, that is almost always farmed. They also farm Keta(Dog/Chum) and King(Chinook) Salmon as far away as New Zealand.. talk about the opposite of local/sustainable for those of you ANYWHERE But the South Pacific!
Just some words of advice from your Alaskan Commercial fisherwoman viewer!
Thank you so much for your post. I was praising Alaskan companies and fish in mine:)
this is amazing thank you!!!
So hard for me to stop at 1 can of smoked oysters. I can't believe cod liver didn't make his list. It's expensive, but very nutritious. I love it.
How often do you think we can eat canned sardines per week? I ate my first can of sardines yesterday and I could feel the good effects almost immediately. I felt very nourished, my brain fog lifted, and I didn’t think about food again for many hours. I also had a bit of San marzano tomatoes, garlic, and a bit of purple baby potatoes with cilantro. It was delicious.
omg same!
😆
What brand of sardines it was? Pl-ace-Bo? Because it looks like you haven't eaten food, but some holy Ambrosia...
@@Alexor715 feeling better after eating a healthy meal seems far-fetched to you?
Thank you for teaching and confirming some things for me. 🎉
i always get my canned fish in EVOO and always will. Cost is much higher, but I eat KETO so I consider it more of a plus.
I also get herring, but smoked or kippered, which is i brine generally.
I love kippers snacks and smoked oysters …. My typical breakfast is… 1-2 hard boiled egg.. I can of kipper snacks, 1 avocado.. sometimes a piece of whole grain bread toasted Blueberries or watermelon
It took me over a month on Keto to adjust to it and be able to fully understand most of your videos, but I am getting better at it. You are so thorough that I use you as the litmus test as to what is the best source of information for nutrition and Keto by far.
Solid video! A few more notes:
Salmon - Kirkland Signature Salmon (my former go-to) has only 1.5g fat per serving, or 3g per can. If you're looking for a substantial dose of omega-6's, sadly, this ain't it.
Sardines - Under "bad" should be that they are often canned in sauces of unknown quality. Also, the "olive oil" in canned sardines solid in the USA is likely mostly, if not entirely, seed oil. Check for 3rd party testing credentials and reports.
Herring - Herring and sardines are in the Clupeidae family (along with shad) and, in canned products, are often used interchanged.
You DON'T WANT Omega-6s--they Predominate in an American diet. Try to get Omega 3s, --forget the 6s, imho.
Both herring and sardines are members of the herring family so I’m guessing the breakdown of herring is a lot more like sardines than mackerel. Also canned herring is about as common as canned sardines...no carbs added...that’s at walmart ...worlds biggest grocery store...
I think sardines can cause some issues from hight arsenic amount.
I also mostly choose canned fish in olive oil as it seems to have better selected parts and retains more taste and texture when stored for longer times.
What ? Sardines don't contain
High levels of Arsenic .
If you add a little bit of organic avocado oil mayonnaise to canned salmon, it’s absolutely delicious and takes away the fishiness. If you’re at work, mix it in ahead of time at home. When you open it it won’t be as bad.
i work in construction and just have a back pack. just bring a spoon and tabasco sauce. urs sounds better.
Thank you for always simplifying everything. Your videos are so easy to understand and I appreciate you taking the time to break things down and justify your ratings.
Sardines are a perfect food (bones and skin).
Yes
@@lifetheslowway I drain oil, squeeze lemon and Frank's Red Hot on top, then put them (whole) on crackers. I like Wasa and Ryvita crackers. I can eat them everyday. I prefer the small sardines--my favorite brand is King Oscar, Cross Pack--they're very small. I can only find them at Publix (grocery store near me).
@gomojo107 Just looked this recipe up. Looks delicious (similar in technique to Shakshouka, but with anchovies)--I'm going to give it a try one night!
Nicole Valle Gross I eat the tomato, mustard, and hot sauce versions straight out of the can with a spoon... Great delicious emergency food, or take camping, or a construction job site, (I’m not creative with food)
This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "simple home workout routine to build muscle" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Zanabriel Workout Weevilled - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my brother in law got excellent results with it.
Hello Thomas...Please explain why sardines packed in e.v.o.o are unhealthy. Thank you.
Wow. Love that you condensed such helpful info into a short amount of space, quick and straight to the point. Thanks for sharing.
I always eat canned sardines, and usually I’d eat them with rice and eggs as breakfast. They’re good too as a quick lunch or dinner. So I’m good! Thanks Matt!
Good in a salad also.
Same
Missing the rice now you know it’s not good for you,😂
@@robwestley7370 tell that to all the healthy long-living asians
I was looking for a sardine recipe, I use canned salmon like you use sardines.
Love all of the Wild Planet products, great quality and flavor! If I'm away from home and know that I'm going to be breaking a fast, I grab a can of tuna to go (easy open can and less funky smell). I'm not allowed to bring sardines after spilling a can in the car 😱
Thanks for the info and ratings!
Lol, 😆 car smell.
😂😂😂😂
Wild Planet has sardines in ORGANIC EVOO. Wild Planet is the best and my go to.@@sallyjames1236
I like the canned sardines in mustard or hot sauce. The water ones don't have a good texture.
But not all sardines is good
I buy canned sardines at Costco in olive oil. I drain off the olive oil and mix in mustard, olive tapenade, and lemon juice. The cans are good until 2024 so I stock them and have enough for a few months just in case.
Hot sauce ones in a taco! Or keto wise, we can put them in lettuce with some shredded cabbage :)
Get the ones in water then add your own hot sauce and/mustard to them.
You want to watch out for added ingredients. From personal experience, the beach cliff sardines in water are nice and juicy.
I really like mackerel in olive oil is that okay I mean the olive oil as long as it's not vegetable oil. I'll get them in water but usually the mackerel I always see is in olive oil .
Thank you, I am not doing Keto now but I am considering it again. I am over 50. I always liked my shape but now my gut is taking over, I am now thankful of my breast they camouflage my stomach a little. I've watch several of your videos this morning . I was looking for recipes but I got much more, I already have sardines, tuna, mackerel and canned salmon. I am going to do omelet with can salmon and onions.
BUT THEY TASTE SO GOOD IN OIL!
Squeeze the oil ahahhaha
Dude I know and olive oil is not bad for you. If you listen to your body you will see how different things make you feel. Just my experience.
@@gus6892 this might be a bit T.M.I but when I over do it on the oil I blow my toilet out.
I watched a Dr. saying the olive oil is good to protect from the nasty from the can and also the olive oil is great for omega 3 combined with fish that’s why the Mediterranean diet is healthy because they consume lots of fish with olive oil.
@@conspiracychris4742 😄
This is a very interesting and useful video - I am pleased I came across it. I am also happy that you mentioned Roe. This is very easily available in most UK supermarkets (usually as cods roe) and I have always enjoyed eating it.
Roe is amazing. Caviar is considered royal food.
How many cans of tuna is too much?( for mercury, contamination etc?
I always hated sardines in oils. Once I found sardine in water never turned back
@@geno5169 it's yummy
Anchovies packed in salt are really good. 👍
This was extremely informative. Thanks!
This is tremendous, thank you! I'm looking into eating way more fish. My Russian roomate works as a mover, all he eats is fish, potatoes, tea, vegetables and pasta. And he's built like a brick outhouse! I dont even think he lifts as all! Just diet and manual labour.
What kind of fish?
Well manual labor includes lifting
King Oscar's sardines Mediterranean style has the best flavor to me!
Thank you for the video, it is very helpful. I do wonder...
I've started getting my fish in olive oil where possible. I can understand not wanting soy or other oils, but what is the beef with olive oil?
If you are going to get tuna try to get Skipjack, it's much lower in mercury.
For me (a diabetic) the high caloric densisty of Mackerel is a net positive when stocking for emergencies. Most emergency food is very carb heavy, knowing this about Mackerel was VERY helpful.
What about arsenic in sardines? Heard Joe Rogan said he got high arsenic from eating a bunch of them. Thanks!
Good to know! I just started Keto again and I just bought a lot of tuna .. I’m going to switch it out for Salmon instead 👍🏽
Señora Antero I swapped my tuna for salmon and I am hooked. I only wanted to tuna once a week but I find myself craving salmon daily.
Thomas didn't mention pink salmon, but it's the cheapest of the three canned salmons and although perhaps the lowest fat, still has a decent amount fo fat, plus it is the mildest of the salmon taste, which although some might call "fishy", I think of salmon is the best kind of fish taste. Compared to salmon, those white fish, like halibut, cod, catfish, tilapia, etc are boring, plus either actually unhealthy or just totally neutral, like conventional chicken breast, protein and not much else. Pink salmon is always wild caught, sustainable, and in water. Always eat the bonez and skin, the best parts.
Yes great switch! Thanks for watching!
Wild Sardines in water, no salt variety by far the healthiest. No weaknesses.
Why no salt? Your body NEEDS salt.
@A Fridge Too Far it does but too much isn't good trying to manage my salt intake.
@@bigdog297 true, but there are some brands that contain a reasonable amount of salt.
I prefer the bristling sardines in extra virgin olive oil. Some extra calories but w/e, they're delicious.
Deming's Red Sockeye Wild Caught Alaskan Salmon, 14.75 Oz
I pour off the Olive Oil in my sardines that I get @ Costco, put the fish in a dish and then add high quality EVO. The taste difference alone is off the hook, plus I’m assured that the majority of the oil on the fish is a known quality. Even though it states it’s olive oil, you never know...
I like my sardines in extra virgin olive oil.
Sounds delicious and super healthy
just gotta make sure its actually olive oil, theres some brands that sell peanut oil,etc as olive oil.edit; )due to low regulation on labeling)do a little research around your local walmart,etc.
Is the fish 🐟 oil is healthy? I thought it’s not
Same
Well...i like my extra virgins in sardine oil...at least that's what they taste like lol
I usually break my fast with sardines in water bone and all
Getting the omega 3s!
Do you just drew up the bones? I’m confused as to how you’re supposed to eat the bones LOL
@@JaclynRaexoxo sardines bones are not hard and sharp. Its very dense but soft and chewable like a gummy candy.
I do the same with tuna as its leaner but sardines would work well too!
I think Thomas didn't want to get into the details of breaking a fast with a lean a protein source and adding omega-3's at the same time. Sardines in water would be perfect food spiking your MTOR which increases muscle retention. By spiking your MTOR with the protein, your insulin will not be sensitive when you eat your full meal a little later. The insulin will still work good but will be more chilled. If you watch his videos on how to break a fast, they are very informative. I lost 30 pounds and I am NOT starving one bit.
You can get anchovies (not sure about the quality of dried/salted anchovies) from any Korean grocery store - dried Myulchi. You can find tiny ones that are very portable and can be eaten just as a snack. Again, I don't know about their quality.
I’m a Wild Planet sardine junkie. The lemon ones my usual fix.
Please go into crab and the other seafoods and how they compare! This was an awesome video and needs a #2
Good info to know.
What about seafood (fresh or frozen) such as Prawns, Clams, Lobster, Snow, King, & Dungeness Crab? A video on the benefits or Pros & Cons of those would be great.
Some frozen are good. Good idea! Thanks for watching!
That shits not heathly for you!!!!!
Dont eat everything
You got to get deveined shrimp, that’s when they take out the poop chute of the shrimp you don’t want to eat that. Also most shrimps are farm raised which is not good
Wild caught Prawns are excellent for you, farm raised suck!
i’ve recently started buying mackerel in a can and i’m really enjoying it. He’s right in the sense that you don’t need to add loads of mayo to mackerel compared to tuna as it is already quite scaly or moist for lack of a better term to describe it. Nice knowing it’s got way higher omega 3 too compared to tuna which is all i’ve had eaten when it comes to fish before starting mackerel.
NOTHING is "wrong" with Mayo, if you buy "Chosen"-brand,--an all avocado-oil mayo that's actually "good" for you instead of the "shite-oil" put in most mayos. It IS "pricy", but then you'll use less;)
Roe, roe, roe your meals, into good life-stream...
@@jackdale9831 put your thinking cap on mate. I didn't say anything is wrong with mayo...
He talks in the video about how you need to add more mayo to tuna to make it easier to eat becuase it's quite dry. Where as mackerel is quite oily and much easier to eat. Less lubrication required for mackerel than Tuna
I’ve been eating tinned mackerel with hot sauce. Doesn’t add extra unnecessary calories and it’s delicious
If you can’t get a can without oil just use a strainer and pour water to significantly reduce
Can you please talk about canned fish in tomato or hot sauce for the kids in the back who can't do their own research(me specifically)? Please and thank you!
Any concerns about metals seeping into these foods? I mean we've all eaten canned oysters or sardines that tasted like "tin"
Hi Thomas, have you ever considered doing a thorough video on the lymphatic system? I have been dealing with chronically swollen nodes for years and good information is really hard to come by.
I tend to avoid canned fish packed in water especially packed in US due to the manufacture’s toxic waste fluoride, chloramine and other chemicals added to most municipalities water systems in the US. Some European countries have been adding these toxic chemicals in their water but less do when I last checked. I look for organic olive oil. I won’t touch soybean oil packed fish. I understand your reasoning it is just me, I have done a lot of research on the toxic waste in water including speaking with water engineers. I have an aversion to it. I can handle the organic olive oil. Thank you for the specific kind of mackerel to purchase; need to check the cans I just purchased.
Actually, mackerel has crazy high omega 3 due to high fat content which can help balancing 3/6
Great info thanks. How bad is the BPA lining in canned fish.
Since non BPA lining canned fish is 3-4 times more expensive!?
Please guide I will really appreciate it.
Glad that you have this channel! I use Anchovies to make sauce & eat sardines every other week! 🐟
Dude . You are so sharp it's amazing !
You can tell Thrive Market to go to hell - they wanted to know everything about me before I could even look to see what they had. They lost a customer before I even got a chance to see if I liked them or not
they collect your data then that becomes a sellable product
😂 Bunch of jokers.
I’m in a privileged position of living well outside the USA where it’s easier for me to just ignore the ads because I probably couldn’t get those products shipped out anyway. Temptation is removed, basically.
If they keep Tam’s lights on - fine. They’re not the be all and end all however when it comes to people’s progress anyway so I wouldn’t worry about it.
i agree. i went to their site but I'm not about to put in my credit card when i can't even see what they have!
what's wrong with high fat on the mackerel? mackerel has one of the highest omega 3s of any low mercury fish. body and brain needs fat!
Their pricing is SO HIGH, ROBBERY MUST be their "Day-job", imho. They don't want to take phone calls {without a cell}, they don't want to sell cases, I feel "Trive" wants to KILL you, but they'll just ROB you first!
What about sardines in extra virgin olive oil? I thought extra virgin olive oil was nutritious as well.
Me too. I’m a little confused.
me too...hmmmm
Sardines are already high in fat, I believe olive oil is better than others oils if you prefer a oil with sardines, Compare a can with or without than make your choice.
I like the sardines in extra virgin olive oil. Without the skin and bones. It has more protein ( 20 to 21 grams) the other ones have 14 to 16 grams of protein. The best brand to eat are king Oscar and wild planet.
Is extra Virginia olive oil ok?
I used to get sardines in its own (sild) oil. I would think that would be the healthiest form. I haven’t been able to find them for many years that way. I would imagine the next healthiest form would be in water-which is what l use- so l agree with Thomas.
why avoid the oil? just curious, I always buy my sardines in olive oil to get the benefits the oil.
Great Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Ponnordaz Impressive Remedy (do a search on google)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for discovering how to pack on solid muscle mass without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my close friend Aubrey got astronomical results with it.
Apparently the oil negates all the health benefits? Makes no sense why he is so anti oil.
I think it has more to do with the quality of oil they're using. At least that's why I avoid it. Even in "pure" olive oil, they can get away with some pretty terrible quality oil that is actually still cut with other oils.
@CommanderGuy exactly!
What about sardines that are lightly smoked? Should they be avoided?
I don't see why. Eat up.
I’m not sure where you are shopping for Roe, but here in Eastern Europe we have canned Roe (mostly Salmon) in every single grocery store you go into. In the USA I will admit that it is somewhat hard to find unless you go to a specialty shop.
The sardines caught off of Canada's east coast are one of the best in the world.Choose the ones in water not oil because it's probably cheap omega 6 oils
I LOVE salmon roe. As an Alaskan, I catch my own salmon. Not only do I consume the meat but also the innards including the heart, liver, roe, and sperm.
Head to tail is the way to go! Good for you Julius!
Are Pacific salmon still un contaminated by Fukushima?
Harry Roseman I think everything is contaminated by Fukushima now. If you don’t want the contamination stick to freshwater fish.
How do you like all the little white worms in the belly meat? Have you ever trimmed the belly meat and soaked it in any sort of marinade? Do this with salmon right out of the river if you haven't already but I would imagine if you eat sperm you won't care about a few live worms.
Smoked salmon is my favourite fish but canned salmon is soooo different. My favourite canned fish are sardines. 2nd favourite is mackerel. I like tuna but I find it a bit boring. In Spain there are lots of canned shellfish but I don’t like those.
Sardines also have a lot of calcium 🙂 I just got a dental implant (not the full implant, just the screw in the jawbone) and I’m going to be eating looooots of sardines for the calcium and vitamin D during the next few months while the osseointegration process is taking place 🐟🐟🐟
You didn’t talk about the omega 6:3 ratio! 😲 Salmon’s ratio is great. Mackerel is better than sardines in that regard. I don’t remember about the rest 😂
Sardines are also very low in mercury because they are so young when they're processed.
Thanks for the video. I love canned fish! In Denmark we have Cod liver canned in its own oil. Most people think it's disgusting but I love it. The fat content is high but otherwise it's extremely healthy. You should try it.
Ccol video. But why is a little olive oil bad?
Because it's in everything and adds up
What about sardines in tomato sauce? The canned sardines in my country are all sardines in tomato sauce... and another type is sardines in olive oil. I have not seen others. Are these okay?
What’s wrong with the olive oil?
As long as it's real it's good.
Nothing
what about canned cod liver, sprats or hering?
Been eating cod liver 2x a week for 8 months. Its the most obvious improvement to my health since going keto.
@@michaelc9311 wow, twice a week? I maybe eat a can once a month...
Aren't you concerned about heavy metals and stuff like that?
@@donit. hahaha nah heavy metals schemty mebshhdhdndbfbbfndmxnxn
@J J not directly
I tried canned sardines for the first time today and absolutely loved them! You do have to be careful in your selection of the ones packed in oil because most are packed in soybean oil. However I did find the King Oscar brand whole sardines with bones and skin packed in EVOO and jalapeños! They are awesome! Definitely buying more! 👍🏻
Those are my favorite! Nice and spicy 🥵
@@Baecheeks you can choose ones with just olive oil no jalapeños. The one with green stripe have only olive oil and orange is jalapeño.
King Oscar is good oh my god I can eat those all day which I know I shouldn’t and don’t but oh my god and not to mention how beautiful the sardines are
Did you like fish already? The only fish I dont mind is tuna (not the filets).
@@franksylva9031 for me personally I love sardines, but dislike the taste of most other fish. While they have a distinct taste, it's not really a fishy taste.
I can't believe how much better i feel and stopped aching since eating fish from cans. I was always put off by the look and smell but the results are worth it
You can find canned anchovies in olive oil. Also, the sunflower oils ones are not too bad, as canning process prevent oxidation.
first, roe tastes amazing in my opinion, second, where is the canned cod liver?
I tend to agree, if you mix it with some infused olive oil or avocado-oil mayo and a bit of salt... and the oleic acid plus lyso+DHA is a godly fat combo... then, ya, pop some cod liver oil for your A & D ;)
He's talking about actual cod liver, not cod liver oil
Sardines in tomato, mustard, hot suace are my favorite.
Never tried. Can u eat them right from the can, chew right through the bones and swallow?
I cant believe you missed canned Herring!
I use herrings to cut down trees in the forest.
Can't stand sardines..but I love mackeral in evol...its delicious with squeeze of fresh lemon juice
I have a shellfish allergy. What else can I eat besides oysters for zinc? I also take shots for low T.
At the notes part : always in water unless you know what you’re doing ....?
I think that remark relates to adding more fat and calories that come along with the oil. Some people have deliberate reasons to add in fat and calories. Water won't add that in.
what about canned sardine with extra virgin olive oil, is that ok to consume?
From what I've read, yes. There are different species of "sardines" also so you need to know which you're getting. Pacific Sardines live much longer than North Atlantic and from what I've read have a higher potential for heavy metals.
If you’re unable to find in water yes, you can rinse with water to better control your fat intake source. Thanks for watching!
Sardines in olive oil are the only type of canned sardines I’ll eat since in Spain tuna is virtually the only canned fish you can find in water, so with sardines it’s either vegetable oil or olive oil, and vegetable oil is a no-no. I still don’t trust the type of olive oil they use so I drain as much as I can. There’s also sardines in tomato sauce but it has sugar in it. Canned fish in Spain is pretty good in general but it bugs me that only tuna is sold in water
@@Sylphadora same as you, the only type of wild caught canned sardine I can fine is in oil.
Try to avoid canned fish in oil. Reasons being is because they're cut with cheap 'extra virgin olive oil,' if it even is that and also, the oils go rancid very fast and oxidize soon after their packaged so you don't know exactly how long the canned fish in oil has been sitting on the self.
Does anybody know whether it matters where canned seafood is distributed/packed? I keep hearing to avoid seafood from parts of Asia like Thailand, Vietnam, or China because of lax regulations, and I often see countries outside of the US labeled on a lot of cans, but I can't find any information on this.
Best not to get farmed i know! .hope someone remembers & posts where the good stuff comes from:)
I get the sardines that are in Extra Virgin Olive Oil.. It’s from Portugal and the can is BPA free
