Re: Tinned fish
On herrings...... I bought smoked herrings in Loosha, they weren't even refrigerated over there but I did put them in the fridge. They are now here in the UK in the fridge. I will use them in the next week although the BBE was late March. They were inexpensive about a fiver for about 9 fillets. Ideas anyone ????
Re: Tinned fish
Finally tried my Tin of sardines and they were lovely . I toasted a pitta bread and filled with the sardines and some finely chopped tomatoes capers and olives then quickly toasted it some more in a frying pan . Eager to try with pasta next

Re: Tinned fish
Haha it’s funny I used to love smoked peppered mackerel and would often have it with salad and sauté potatoes . All of a sudden couldn’t stand the taste of it , which is a shame as I’m always trying to get more fish into my diet.
Might dip my toe into the exciting realms of tinned salmon soon

Re: Tinned fish
Have you had tinned salmon before, AmyW? There are little round bones in it which are edible because of the way they have been cooked so you eat them too.

And they’re supposed to be very good for you if you need calcium.
You can buy tinned salmon which says it’s boneless but it’s more expensive and anyway, I like the ‘crunch’. Food is very much about different textures for me.

Re: Tinned fish
Sardines and pilchards have got bones in as well of course, although there are boneless products available.

Re: Tinned fish
It's just that the ones in salmon are quite pronounced and might be a shock if you hadn't seen them before. I like the slight crunch too.

Re: Tinned fish
We used to eat the bones but not any dark skin in tinned salmon

Re: Tinned fish
I must be a whimp, I like skinless and boneless salmon .
Re: Tinned fish
I'm with Suffs. You need a bit of crunch. I love fish skin in any case. Mr S can't abide it so when I cook fish for us I always bag the skin
Food, felines and fells (in no particular order)

Re: Tinned fish
You don't suppose it is because they are cheap and filling in these very difficult times for many? Fortunately they are nutritious as well.

Re: Tinned fish
The canned fish in the article is mostly not cheap, it has (as the article says) always been acceptable in the Latin countries to serve good quality canned fish, for example as part of an hors d’oeuvre
Joan was a great fan of Collioure anchovies, which I remember seeing packed there in the 1960s, they would be considered a premium item in a French deli or on a lunch menu, like a named cheese or salami would be

Re: Tinned fish
I read that and it certainly isn't cheap fish!

Re: Tinned fish
Found these in Waitrose yesterday - the mussels disappeared as an afternoon snack
Edited to add that bread was listed as an ingredient, presumably as a thickener ... coincidence as SSue mentions bread in her recommendation for Elizabeth David's recipe for mushroom soup
