I get tinned sardines quite often at the foodbank. Usually pick up some reduced mash at the supermarket for like 60p and fry up a huge fishcake add whatever seasoning, onion, garlic, spring onion, herbs. I've made things like this before many times but i usually use noodles ... they're just easier. I tend to boil a kettle and cook noodles and pasta in a container in the microwave now.

[@JAM-zb2vh]

Thank you, brother. I will try this

[@BlackJesus8463]

never had bad can of sardines but i have had bad tuna and it was delicious!

[@neilpickup237]

I so wish that I could eat fish again. I had some 'bad' fish at school and haven't been able to eat it since. It was several decades before I could even walk down fish row in Leeds Market. A few years ago I was eating my meal on a flight, and unknown to me, it included fish. I recognised it immediately but no reaction! I finished it off thinking I had grown out of it. Unfortunately, when I tried it again on firm ground it was service as usual! So I am now at the point where I can eat fish at 30,000 feet, but not in the ground! Just goes to show how the flavour/taste profile changes when flying at altitude. I know that it is fish, but apparently, my body does not! P.S. I bet you never thought that you would hear this from me, but you don't put a lid on boiling pasta!

[@Adam_Garratt]

Excellent Adam, I love sardines and mackerel in tins and usually in tomato sauce (herrings in). I usually have them a couple of times a week but on top of some fried rice or noodles with lots of spicy chillies. Here in Thailand they are dead cheap and come in all sorts of sauces and flavours, I just love them so must be a throwback to my navy days. Extremely good for you as well, keeps the old joints supple. Cheers ⚓

Adding the butter in at the end allows it to make an emulsion with the pasta water, making the sauce unctuous. I use tinned pilchards in tomato sauce as a base for the sauce, no onions as they have no place in my kitchen, but using any peppers, tomatoes or whatever I happen to have lying around. I have not used lemon, but will give it a try next time. Unctuous, isn't that a satisfying word.

Sometimes I think I watch British cooking channels just to hear the host say "knob of butter". Is there a metric conversion for a "knob"? and BTW, little known fact (but true), sardines packed in water are great as a fertilizer. I use them in containers, were I can get them deep enough nobody digs them up, and they are a slow release fertilizer for the whole season. Oil packed is no good.
