My husband. He almost had me eating them, but when I got pregnant, I
couldnt' stand the taste ever after. He eats the ones that come in
the 15 oz oval cans with tomato sauce, mixes them up with mayo and
mashes it for a sandwich filling. Eats that and a fluffernutter
every day for lunch (shudder). They're high in calcium as well as the
other fishy good things, and being small, they don't have a lot of
mercury, unlike the larger tuna/sword/etc fish.

They're not low calorie, but they are good for you.
