Do you have to heat up canned sardines?

[Jayendra Sandeep]

Or can I eat them just out of the can in a sandwich? There are no instructions in the can.

1. Straight up

2. Thanks

Just the answer I wanted. It's so much quicker to not heat em up :-)

3. i like them cold, it's up to you

they are safe to eat right out of the tin, i like them on crackers

[MrScorpio]

4. Out of the can, with mustard and crackers

The ONLY way to go

5. You can eat them straight out of the tin.

Just don't do on a midwatch. It will piss off everyone on the bridge.





Long story.

6. Your neighbors will thank you NOT to heat them up.

And I know this because once when Ginger was a kitten, I thought he might enjoy his (fish) cat food more if I heated it a little. The odor could have awakened the dead.

7. However you like

I never heat them up, but there's nothing in the rule book that says you can't. They are rather fragile, so I suspect if you heat them up they will pretty much disintegrate when you try to pick them up afterward. You can also use them in recipes. I like to use them in fish stew. All sardines aren't created equal. There are various types of fish that are called sardines and generally the more expensive they are, the better fish you get. Brisling is my favorite and they are the most expensive. They are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, so I generally try to eat one or two tins per week.

Sardines in olive oil are preferred.

13. What were you planning to do with hot sardines?....nt

[mix]

14. Of course you do.

In the microwave, decanned (safety).

3-5 minutes says the google.

15. Tombstoned for inquiring about food-prep methods for sardines.

Cold, Skinner. Stone-cold killer. :rofl:

(I am of-course joking. I'm certain that whatever he got the pizza delivery for, it wasn't the OP of this thread.)

16. Sardines are wonderful

but for gawd's sake, do NOT heat them up. Sheesh. Even better, kippered herring or pickled herring. Lots of saltines and a good cold beer. :toast:
