Sardines

You should have ate the sardines before going to the dentist! :laughing:

I love sardines, couldn't think of life without them ! Grill them on the barbecue outside because of the smell with a touch of olive oil and herbs.

Out in Newfoundland we eat something called Capelin. It ios similar to sardines or anchovies. They are small fish that come in to shore during summer. Then when they are caught they get smoked or salted and dried. Lots of Newfies either put them on the BBQ or eat them straight.

If you do come across some NEVER put them in a microwave.The smell will drive almost everyone out of the building and then you'll have to get rid of the microwave.

I don't know why I wasn't thinking well enough to realize the empty can would do the job instead of wasting good sardines,:ashamed: but many years ago, I used sardines to trap some skunks and more recently to trap a stray cat. It's the best bait I know of for that purpose.

A buddy told me that one of the best ways to get rid of a neighbors cat is to put down a 50/50 mix of tuna and mineral oil. The mixture will attract the cat, the mineral oil will be a natural laxative. So when the cat gets home the friendly neighbor that lets his cat do its business in your yard will have the same business all over his house.

Makes his cat his problem, and very quickly and no harm or stress to the cat. Except by the cat owner

Fisherman in Czech fry small fish breaded in hot oil. The name for it is grundle and they taste great with just salt, freshly made.


Apparently the same word in English means something else, didn't know that.

Sardines with saltines! :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: But with mustard and a nice slice of onion.

Those look pretty good ...did you dip them in something before they went on the grill? Is it a main course? What are you having with them?

I've read that during the winter months smelts come in from the sea and run up the rivers of Maine. Maybe some Mainers can give up some recipes???

The only fish I ever catch are small!:ashamed:

Up hear when the LaHave River freezes there are numerous ice fishing huts set up. I believe they are catching capelin?

Sardines also come in Mustard sauce!:laughing:

For many years, I worked as the engineer on a logging truck running tests on drilled wells... great and interesting job, but the problem was that I never knew how long I'd be on a well... maybe a few hours, maybe as much as 24-hours... I quickly learned to keep food on board that would not spoil or have to be refridgerated ... the answer was a box of crackers, a jar of peanut butter and several cans of sardines. Yup, people turned up their noses but when you are hungry, they were great..

 

[CurlyDave]

I have always read that emergency supplies should be bad enough that no one would eat them willingly and just barely good enough that they can be eaten in a survival situation.

Keeps them available for when they are really needed.

Yeah, but you have to rotate them out once in a while, so you might as well stock up on something that lasts AND tastes good, too. :thumbsup:

Haha! Good one Doug! Not to mention that you had the logging truck all to yourself!

BTW, who "woulda thunk" little smelly fish would get so much gab?:laughing:

 

[MossRoad]

and word has it they make you more virile..

But its hard to get a date with sardine breath, so that cancels that out. :laughing:

Anyone harvest sardines with a tractor?

It's a main course, the number varying with the size of the fish, generally with rice and a sauce made of melted butter and mustard. Before I put them on the grill, my wife puts a little olive oil and a generous helping of Mediterranian herbs on them. This will burn but leave a delicious flavour.

O.K. guys. It was requested that I use my pencil eraser and clean up some school boy talk that I was just as guilty of participating in as anyone else. Got to remember to keep it family friendly.

OK ..MossRoad...picture this then:

A man and a woman sitting in seperate bathtubs on the beach at sunset.. some soft music playing in the background ...sharing a can of sardines.

We'll leave the rest of what happens to the imagination.
