Do you mean the flat oval can... sardines in tomato sauce... do you
have a cat? hehe I split each and scrape out the innards 'cause those
bones are kind of tough and off putting. Then lay them on a bed of
lettuce and top with paper thin sliced onion and tomato... dress with
a little lemon... same salad is good on butter slabs of good black
bread. Or mash with mayo same as tuna salad, makes a good sammiche.
Years ago they were labeled "Herring in Tomato Sauce" but they are no
longer actual herring... today they can be any small fish, which is
what sardines are, there is no such fish as a sardine.

I don't recommend giving fish or other seafood to cats.
Many cats can develop a food sensitivity from this.
Once they develop a food sensitivity, it can be hard
to keep them alive. The two cats I had the longest
period of time developed food sensitivities in their
old age. They wasted away and died because of this.
I kept one alive for a year or two by making my own
cat food from lamb, brown rice, and some sort of
digestive enzyme additive recommended by the vet.
That was a lot of work. Every three days, I'd make
another batch. That plus the steroid hormones
worked for a while, but it was a losing battle.

I'd recommend only feeding lamb or poultry based
cat food, and definitely no fish. Once my boss
had a cat that was dying, and it would throw up
everything. I asked what he fed it, and he said
tuna. I said that's the worst thing to feed to a
sick cat. The best would be lamb, and second best
would be unseasoned turkey breast. There was a
cafeteria across the street, and he bought some
plain turkey breast there. The next day he told
me I had performed a miracle. The cat ate it all
and kept it down.

Here's my can of sardines from last weekend:

That was the second can I opened. The first one I had already
eaten.

Yum.

Maybe someone should alert all the pet food companies.

Anyone can develop a seafood allergy but it's pretty rare except under
certain conditions... a small percentage of folks develop a seafood
allergy from a steady regimen of calcium suppliments made from ground
up mollusk shells. I think there are too many products with calcium
added but don't say where the calcium is derived.. I wonder where the
calcium comes from that they add to OJ. Anyone who consumes some
dairy daily needs no calcium suppliments. I don't drink milk but I
eat all kinds of cheeses, cottage cheese is a favorite, and I eat a
container of yogurt just about every day. I'd think only those who
are lactose intolerant would benefit from calcium suppliments, but
they should be aware of the source. A lot of generic OTC and Rx
tablets use mollusk calcium as a base, not good. Anyone who tells you
that generic drugs are excatly the same as branded doesn't know what
they're talking about or is lying... there are many differences.

Mine are in the 16 ounce oval cans, look much nicer, i love the small
cans packed in mustard on crackers but wanted something more to do with
the big ones other than atop crackers.

I sure hope they look better.

The problem with the bigger sardines and often they have scales.
Especially the Mexican brands in tomato sauce.

Why did I look? I knew I shouldn't have, but I did anyway.

What's weird is that it didn't stink at all. It smelled less than
the first "good" can.

Serve them on crackers with a little mayo!
They also might be good in some mac and cheese. ;-)

You could probably use them in Amazing Mackerel Pudding (might take
a couple of cans though to substitute for 1 can of mackerel)

The sardines packed in oil (drained) make better tuna salad than
canned tuna does. Not sure how the tomato sauced ones (or mustard
sauce) would work.

Put them on bread and eat them.

My mother used to thinly slice some onions, place them in a Pyrex
dish, then pour the "herring"and sauce over them, cover, and
refrigerate all day or longer.

Boy, your cats get the royal treatment. I don't think mine would like
the sliced onion though.

Read it again; he's talking about eating the cat. ;-)

Do you like tuna salad made from tuna and mayo? If so maybe you would
like sardine salad made from sardines and mayo. It's more intense in a
way that some will like and some won't. I like sardines and sour cream
- I think it cuts the oily nature of the sardines better.

Do you like tomato sauce with meat? If so then maybe the meat in
question can be fish meat rather than grass eater meat.

Based on those two ideas I thought about pizza with anchovies. I like
it. I figure sardines are milder than anchovies but they are also
bigger than anchovies. Sounds like it shouldbalance out. So mix in
sauteed garlic, oregano, basil and serve on toast or pizza dough or in
my case some sort of wheat free substiture.

I like both tuna and sardines, and have tried to substitute sardines for
tuna in a few dishes I make. I wasn't as thrilled as I thought I would be
with the results.

There is a huge texture difference between the two, so I'd think
that most things, like tuna salad, tuna melts and sardine sandwiches
would be problematic. Food that doesn't depend upon texture, such
as ice cream or smoothies, should be ok.

Can't remember the last time I had a sardine smoothie.
