a few years ago i had a roommate who was really into tinned fish, specifically anchovies. i was hanging around the edge of the kitchen one day, observing her tinned fish ritual, and she was like "you ever tried this?" and i said no and she made me a slice of toast with some anchovy on it and IT WAS SO GOOD. i support the tinned fish girlies. they know what's up.
As a NorCal descendant of Finn fishermen, and having been raised on tinned fish of the old school, this came across as the most LA bougie episode ever. $12 for a tin because it has a pretty wrapper? $35 a tin because someone else opened it for you? The ghosts of my ancestors would murder me in my sleep. I feel a compulsion now to go hoover down a can of King Oscar Tiny Tots
Caught a few minutes of this discussion but the deelio is that tinned fish can and should be a healthy part of most people's diet. "Overrated" is something that I will ascribe to any can of fish much north of 5 dollars, as you now see more and more Brooklyn type hipsters hawking as artisanal foodie nonsense. The Portugal/Spain cans are nice, but not worth multiples of the ones from Morocco. Sorry, I've been eating sardines, mackeral and herring from cans for about 45 years and as long as they are from Morocco (not Asia) the ones for $1.50 are just as good and healthy for you as 5 or 10 or 15 dollar ones these "artisanal" companies sell to the suckers dumb enough to waste their money. And BTW, you used to be able to get a can of Nuri for about $2.99 - $3.50 until the hipster craze set in. They were a treat for 3 bucks but at double that I can get 5 or 6 cans of Titus that taste nearly the same. Just saying.
I hate that people have branded this a trend 😭 prices are atrocious now 😭
In Austria, I can buy tins of Nuri in most supermarkets for the equivalent of $4. The prices for tinned fish in the US seem absolutely ridiculous. $11? $35 per can in a restaurant? Nuts.
Why tinned fish? Well, with respect to sardines and mackerel especially, it's a nutrition packed, easy meal option. Loads of protein and omega 3's, and if you eat sardines with the bones, you get a really good dose of calcium. Then there are the more interesting options, like the eels or scallops, razor clams and cockles, stuffed squid, mussels and other delicious stuff. In general I prefer tinned fish at home as cooking fresh fish in a tiny apartment is a recipe for never ending stank around the house :/ I have a nice stash of tins in my cellar so they're always there when I'm in the mood. LOVE tinned fish. But I live in europe so the cost is very reasonable. There is no way in hell I'd pay american prices for tinned fish. It's a complete scam. ETA: the idea of liver pate *in a can* is just wrong. Maybe I'm biased but that should come in glass jars (which is shelf stable) or "fresh"/perishable in a tube (like liverwurst - comes in sausage shape wrapped in a plastic sleeve with little staples on the ends).
There’s an awesome youtube channel called Tinned Fish Files w/Matthew Carlson that has turned me onto tinned fish recently. Very entertaining and quirky guy 😂
Here's the problem with (fully cooked) tinned meat in general, including fish: It's just too god damn expensive! Salmon is literally my favorite food. Period. But I have never bought cooked tinned salmon, because it simply costs too damn much. You get like 3 ounces of salmon and it costs like $4 per can for the cheaper brands. It's legitimately SO MUCH cheaper to buy an actual salmon fillet and cook it yourself and just put it in Tupperware that one has to wonder why anyone is buying these tins.
Yikes, 6 cans for 72 usd... I just spent 100 aud for 40 cans of King Oscars, what are you guys doing over there?
i'm like 99% certain that canned salmon gaining popularity was from people recreating emily mariko's salmon sushi bake from tiktok but at a more cost friendly level
