Big Sardine doesn't want you to know about this. It would alarm the citizenry. They want you to calmly continue to buy their totally normal canned sardines. But I'm a reckless truthteller in a world of lies, gimmicks, and Euro-centric fish snacks.
Spoiler Alert: I use a milk frother to mix spray olive oil and wasabi all over the Canned Fish Files Headquarters, then consume the resulting concoction on deenz. What else would you have me do???

[@CannedFishFiles]

Hey btw, www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008D3079K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, this is the wasabi I used. It's quite different from the neon stuff they have at non-fancy restaurants. No clue if this is the real thing, or some blend. The ingredients still list "horseradish" at the top, but it's likely that Japanese would translate wasabi (the plant) to "horseradish", as in, "Japanese horseradish".

[@robertleslie2467]

Nice. Looks like it could be the real deal. Now I have to try it. Mahalo!

[@britinmadrid]

A lot of horseradish is powdered green to be re-labelled as 'wasabi', unfortunately. Apparently the real deal is very difficult to grow so is relatively rare.

[@deloreswilson1798]

Real wasabi also is used in demolition.😆

[@johannesgutenburg9837]

if it was real wasabi it would be nearly flavorless after less than an hour in the tube

[@Scardpelt]

Real wasabi must be ground fresh to use. Typically extremely expensive compared to alternatives

[@CommodoreKulor]

Matt saved me. Back in the day I remember I used to like sardines, and the impulsion to pick up a can hit me randomly a few months ago. I went to the store, bought a random can thinking "yeh w/e it's canned fish", cracked 'em open and...it was kinda nasty. I figured I just grew out of it or something. Well, fast-forward to like a week ago, KZbin decided to just randomly send me down the rabbithole of your videos. Next thing I know, I'm cracking open a can of hagoromo 'dines with some curry pan for breakfast, and enjoying them once more. Thank you for reuniting me with my childhood fish friends. Also I see you're a fellow synth appreciator, I love the background tracks, I assume you made them yourself? Is there anywhere we can grab 'em?

[@CannedFishFiles]

I got a big plan to eventually release the music. But wow, it's just a lot of work to just make the videos. And the music kinda would need to be re-mastered to be released.

[@j-rocd9507]

That brand of "the green stuff" is what I'd available to me here too. It's better than most of it I see here besides a high end restaurant

[@Genessis001]

Hey Matt. Totally late, for some reason my notes weren't coming through, so I reset them. The wasabi wasn't real spicy like your probably used too regardless of the larger quantities you used because it's actually a real wasabi, just stored/preserved differently then the fresh wasabi root which is really expensive & used @ high-end restaurants. The stuff that most people eat which is very spicy...is just a powder that is mixed with water, it's not actual wasabi, more like horseradish root, it also loses it spice & taste within 1/2 hr or less.. It's the wasabi plate pic you used on your thumbnail. Awesome video! Like that little mixer too! 👍👍

Yeah, no way Jabroni’s Wásabi deens were going to be hot enough. Not his fault, these prepackaged flavored deens have to toe the line. They have to try to hit something that won’t blow out sensitive people. Your way is much better. Load it up! Great vid Matt.

[@albertapeet]

Dude , just lay paper towel of the top of the cup while you mix. No muss no fuss

[@takotako808]

[@patriotdefender808]

Matt, have you tried authentic Portuguese piri-piri with sardines? It’s delicious!

[@CannedFishFiles]

Only the stuff that's packed into cans. Rolling my own piri-piri could be an adventure.

[@galindojamie]

the only problem with this was, they didn't get to soak and absorbs the flavor. i wonder what if you tried making your own sardines from scratch? from fresh caught sardines to making your own oil and flavoring and canning it just so you can open it a month later after they had a good time to marinate, id watch that, id watch you try, and eat some "Mathew Carlson Deans", that would be an awesome video haha

[@ratlips4363]

[@AntFong]

DAMN. you took that wasabi loaded dine just as well as Chris Rock took that slap!! I hear you on the pronunciation thingamabob. I'm familiar with the Japanese pronunciation of "nakiri" (a Japanese vegetable knife) and to hear it pronounced in an American/Western style is so...weird. just like wasabi, it's the second syllable that's super weird haha

[@CannedFishFiles]

you should hear how I say "Osaka".... i think you know, when it comes to wasabi, there's kind of a limit to how intense it gets. Like, your sinuses can only flare so bad, it doesn't affect your eyes, nothing compared the lingering effects of capsaicin.

[@AntFong]

@@CannedFishFiles yeah! I've the tubed wasabi myself, and although fleeting, the sinus hit from that much wasabi had to be intense. You didn't even flinch!

[@CannedFishFiles]

@@AntFong I still don't know what's in my tube. It's not the neon green stuff (texture is different, color is way different, hits the nose different). The amazon reviews all assert that it's "the real stuff" but all the reviews sound like they're written by people that don't know anything. I think you could make a product that was markedly different from ordinary takeout wasabi and still have the primary ingredient be regular horseradish.

[@ram4ndud3]

[@zacablaster]

@@emprox1 it's somehow one of the cheapest addictions to have

[@riktwist]

If you were to use a smaller diameter container the oil would be deeper and you could submerge the whisk and not spray oil everywhere. This would also help to make the emulsified oil you are looking for. Also, the emulsified oil would not separate.

[@wpfd10]

you should still use a fart noise somewhere in your videos. Anyway another great video matt

[@CannedFishFiles]

[@robertleslie2467]

Never had real wasabi but I've had the stuff at the sushi restaurants and the stuff they sell at the grocery store and call it wasabi. Its just horseradish dyed green. But I can dig it. As a fly fishing guide in Alaska years ago I'd cook up freshly caught salmon for shore lunch and sometimes would serve it with "wasabi" mayo I mixed up myself using the powdered canned stuff. It was pert dang goodern' heck. My guests/anglers loved it! Never thought to try it on deenz. Now I gotta gotta but on some sprats which I much prefer over the larger pilchards. I love this channel. Its like canned seafood drugs and Matthew is the neighborhood pusher. Shut up and take my money!!!!

[@roastbeefsandwich6769]

I'm a sprat lover myself and I'd like to know where you get yours ❓ I'm buy mine at Walmart the brand is Polar and they come in a flat round can with a clear peel away top for $2.12 only bargain of the century. I say bargain because I'm not impressed with 95% of sardines.

[@robertleslie2467]

@@roastbeefsandwich6769 I too love the Polar's. I get the Polar's, KO's, and Brunswick sprats at my local HEB grocery. The Brunswick's come packaged just like the Polar's with the clear peel away top. All three brand's of sprats are good quality and I enjoy them all and yes, they are all a bargain! I haven't gone down the rabbit hole yet with Nuri's or Ramon Pena's but will soon. Probably get them from Matthew's sardine and canned seafood pusher online. Mahalo!

💀 ok here is what I learned. 1) stop going to the fancy fish shop to buy imported deenz. The Connetable at the supermarket are just fine (I live in France 🇫🇷). 2) I am under utilizing my milk frother 3) I can buy plain deenz and make my own sauce probably better than the factories. I’m thinking Tex-Mex, Tagine, Creole, Korean BBQ… 🤔 I think you are on to something here

Shatner in the back looks like he took a few wasabi dines to the face

[@eclarios]

Hey, awesome. I have one of those little squiddleedees too, and it's lunchtime, so I gave it a shot. Delicious! Like you, I found I wanted more wasabi, even though I'd put in a good solid slug of the stuff; I think the olive oil might do a lot to tame it. I emulsified the oil and wasabi with a little vinegar left over from a jar of homemade pickled red onions, and while that might get dangerously close to cooking, it did create a nice foam.

[@CannedFishFiles]

I tried Espinaler sauce afterwards and it was real great.

[@PHN-2024]

Why was Matthew Asking Alex Trebek to “R.S.V.P.” (Repondez S’il Vous Plait)? Alex Trebek died on November 8, 2020. Was Matthew attempting to Invite Alex Trebek to a Sardine Event but doesn't know that Alex Trebek Died. Maybe Matthew's Request was for Alex Trebek’s Ghost to show up. I’m so confused 🤔.

[@CannedFishFiles]

You should hear how Alex pronounces "ouija".

[@SubCapt]

Nice ! Gotta try this technique. A way to avoid most of the splashing when frothing up the oil could IMHO be to do it in a tall and narrow glass, so that the end of that mixer remains underneath the surface of the liquid even at full speed.
