<p>They are supposed to be the next “superfood.” More omega-3 than salmon, very low levels of mercury. I’d like to eat them, but in their natural state they do not appeal. Does anyone have any good recipes that use them?</p>

<p>frozen sardines are expensive on the west coast. Mostly used for salmon fishing, which is now limited because of W’s preference to irrigation of land farms. Compensation to fishermen has been much more $$ than what would have been paid to land farms.</p>

<p>On toast. Put the other slice on top if you don’t like the appearance.</p>

<p>Ewwwww. Sardines. Ewwwwww.</p>

<p>How about anchovies? How do those stack up?</p>

<p>Here is a link to sardine recipes from Food Network. Apparently Mario Batali likes them!

<p>My 85-year old FIL eats sardines every day for his health.</p>

<p>I told him I would rather die sooner than eat sardines every day.</p>

<p>I guess I’m in the minority - I love sardines. I mash them up with a little mustard and worcestershire sauce and spread them on toast. Yummy.</p>

9

<p>I mash sardines into cottage cheese.</p>

<p>

you can put them on crackers too. Yum!!</p>

<p>H eats them right out of the can!</p>

<p>I like sardines saute with shallots and plum tomatoes, stuffed in crepes, pita bread or roasted peppers.</p>

<p>I printed this out when I read about sardines in the NYT ([The</a> 11 Best Foods You Aren’t Eating - Well Blog - NYTimes.com](<a href=“The 11 Best Foods You Aren't Eating - The New York Times)scp=2&sq=sardines%20beets&st=cse)–%5DThe”>The 11 Best Foods You Aren't Eating - The New York Times)scp=2&sq=sardines%20beets&st=cse)–))–

The sardines I bought to make it are still in the pantry.</p>

<p>Love, love fresh ones. Just grill simply. We can sometimes get in NYC and CA, but Spain, Portugal and Italy are the best bet! Gladly eat every day when lucky enough to be in one of those places.</p>

15

<p>Love good small lightly smoked sardines in olive oil. With some lemon and pepper on rye bread open faced. Yummo–need to buy some. The prices have gone way up so now they are a treat.</p>

16

<p>Soba noodles and canned sardines in tomato sauce - it was OK. The spaghetti meat sauce is still frozen and was hungrier than waiting for the second law of thermodynamics to kick in.</p>

17

<p>From the can on really good french bread, sliced red onion and lots of freshly ground pepper!</p>

18

<p>In mustard sauce, mashed up a little and piled inside an avacado half. One of my favorite camping lunches. Only one spoon to wash. </p>

<p>Fresh sound lovely. May I live to experience such a treat! </p>

<p>Koreans eat a little tiny anchovy like fish, that is prepared with a little sugar. About a quarter inch long, and dried. Kids are encouraged to eat them for the calcium content, mixed with rice. They taste lovely, if you like fishy things. I’m sure they’d be an omega 3 powerhouse as well.</p>

<p>I’m a spay and neuter lady, and whenever I have to trap an elusive feral, I put sardines in the trap. They cannot resist them. They are very smelly. Rite Aid often has cans on sale very cheap, and I stock up.</p>
