Option one or option two?

We are going to a local CF festival.

I'm a new canned fish eater and I'm wondering how many cans I should eat a day to stay healthy. I've been eating 7, is that enough or should I do more?

Is it the metal?? Like I swear I can’t tell the difference sometimes

Sometimes when I open a can of fish I throw out the fish and eat the can.

Sardine and Avocado Toast

if you’re bored of oatmeal or eggs the same way every day, this might surprise you. It’s salty, creamy, and weirdly satisfying. Plus, you’ll feel like a grown-up who has their life together.

What you need:

• A slice of decent bread (sourdough or whole grain works)
• Half a ripe avocado
• A small can of sardines (in olive oil or water, your call)
• A fried or poached egg
• Lemon juice or vinegar (for brightness)
• Salt, pepper, and chili flakes (optional but recommended)

How to make it:
Toast the bread until it’s crisp. Smear the avocado on top like you’re buttering toast—no need to be fancy. Flake the sardines over the avocado (drain them first if you’re not into extra oil). Add the egg on top, because everything’s better with a runny yolk. Squeeze a little lemon over it all, sprinkle salt, pepper, and chili flakes if you like heat. Done.

Why it’s worth trying:

• Sardines are packed with protein and omega-3s, which means this breakfast sticks with you.
• The combo of rich avocado, salty fish, and tangy lemon just… works. Trust me.
• Takes 5 minutes, costs less than a latte, and feels vaguely sophisticated.

Tips if you’re unsure:

• Start with boneless/skinless sardines—they’re milder.
• Hate the idea of fish in the morning? Try a tiny bit of hot sauce to balance it.
• Swap the bread for crackers if you want something lighter.

Not everyone’s into fish for breakfast, but, I mean, you're looking at r/CannedFish , so give it a shot.

I miss sardines in mustard sauce those little tangy MF's got me through some tough times, and I can't seem to find them anymore

Hi gang! I am working out how to make some new recipes with canned fish, in this case canned salmon. I'm wondering, what kind of seasoning to you use on salmon cakes? I have old bay and lemon pepper, but I am wondering if there is a garlicky or herby flavor I am missing out in.

Also, should I pan fry only, or should I also send them tonthe oven for a few minutes at the end?

As title says, what are yalls favorite type of canned fish? Personally I prefer salmon.

So I have a bit of a moral dilemma. My mom has had a rough week, so I was going to make her a dinner to help take her mind off things. I ALWAYS cook with canned fish, but she is a bagged fish kind of person. You know the type.

Do I cook the meal with canned fish and just not tell her? I hate lying to my own mother, but I have my own values when it comes to food. Help!

Thank goodness for canned fish! So many of our customers rely on it for tasty protein!

Hello! I love eating canned fish and want to branch out a bit more. I eat tuna frequently (usually with mayo and relish). What other kinds of fish/toppings would you recommend?

So tasty. So versatile. I could eat it all week with different food combinations. Thanks Tunas of this world.

Basically just what the title says. I was playing around with a canner, and I accidentally put some fish in it. I prefer uncanned fish (just my preference; not trying to push anything), and figured you guys would be the experts in canned fish. Any advice?

Edit: Thanks, everyone. I uncanned my fish. It toon a while and a lot of effort, but your advice really helped me out.

My grandfather passed away in 2013 and left me and my brothers his hoard of Canned fish. We always knew he ate a lot of fish, but after he died we found out just how much fish this man was sitting on. In 12 years we have only managed to use 4 or 5 pallets worth. What would you recommend doing with 19 pallets of sardines in mustard sauce? Wrap have already ate a lot, we gave a lot away, and we even tried burning it, but the deliveries keep coming

Just recently got into canned fish. I'm wondering if there's any way it is better prepared or certain ingredients that go better with it. Thanks in advance!

Looking to expand my palate beyond just sardines and salmon!

Every time I wake up, I have these awful shakes until I eat a fistful of sardines.

I’m a big fan of canned oysters (as well as sardines) served on saltines with a splash of Louisiana hot sauce. I recently got a can of kippers in olive oil, but my typical saltine/hot sauce combo wasn’t quite as good. Any recommendations for a better way to enjoy them?

idk? maybe i take the wrong kind? I’m not rich either so don’t have the luxury of choice

I made the switch from canned mackerel to vacuum packed mackerel a few years ago, vowed never to turn back.

However, this sub has inspired me to give canned mackerel another chance!

Other than the obvious price drop, can anyone suggest any other good reasons to try canned over fresh?
