“I’m standing outside my favorite pinball bar and my buddy Dave hands me a can of Antarctic krill meat” is the most Matthew Carlson sentence that Matthew Carlson has ever uttered.

Well, what are the alternatives? Whole ones might be crunchy, what with all the legs and shells and other exoskeleton parts...

I think in a recent video he explained that he wasn’t doing that anymore, which kind of made me sad too. Even if he forgets I forgive him.

This video inspired me to be someone's Dave who hands them antarctic krill meat.

[@MechanicalUncleJoeBrandon]

This is such a beautiful sentiment

[@ThePerezBoysSardineReviews]

but do you even have a friend who could be ur Matthew and gladly willingly and happily except to even eat it or are you just throwing money down the drain? I had one friend who is my sardine buddy at work and I used to trade cans all the time, I got a new job and now I never see him sometimes I'll send him sardine videos of the boys, but him and my days of opening a can together and talking about how strong it was or how week it was are gone

I've decided to battle my elevated cholesterol by adding more Omega-3 to my diet. Tonight I had my first canned fish, King Oscar Mackerel in Olive Oil with Crystal Hot Sauce splashed on top and I wasn't afraid to try some because of your channel. They weren't pretty like some of the more expensive stuff I see here, but they tasted good. Kind of a chicken texture enriched by the oil and spiced by the Crystal. I have cans of 'dines and Herring to try as well. Thank you sir, you've done good!

[@avaricelank7452]

Good on you bro! If you can get em out whole, i like giving them a quick fry, gives the skin a great texture. I was eating them with yorkshire pudding, but it would probably be better with some veg on the side, asparagus or spinich maybe. Cheers to your health!

[@dirremoire]

I have a can of this that has been sitting in my fridge for a year. I'm glad you tried it first because I was nervous!

[@threesixtysafari2115]

I have a jar of krill in my fridge. It's fermented and called bagoong by Filipinos. It's used like fish sauce to add salt and umami flavor to dishes. I've never heard of krill being served in a can like that.

[@rm709]

Same thing with Korean salted shrimp!

[@DB-pp7kj]

​@@rm709 Ya I had the Korean stuff in my fridge forever but never ate it becuase it was so salty. Literally tastes like a spoonful of salt.

[@KnickKnackPatty]

@@DB-pp7kj I wonder if it's the kind of ingredient that like a small spoon of it might go into a large pot of soup or something? Like a Korean equivalent of anchovy paste? (I think I saw content of people adding some salted shrimp to like the spicy paste used to make kimchi???)

[@KAF-AmericasNewestSuperfood]

Korean salted shrimp or bagoong by Filipinos is just baby shrimp- Some countries in Asia serve freeze dried krill used as a protein additive for eggs and other foods---- Krill is the beginning of the Antarctic Food chain and eats only algae--it has no mercury or contaminants unlike shrimp-sardines--salmon- etc---facts are important---Just saying---)))---

[@KAF-AmericasNewestSuperfood]

@@KnickKnackPatty the krill meat can use some salt and pepper to liven up the taste---at food shows we use garlic salt. pepper and squeeze some lemon served as is or on avocado toast--

This video was a roller coaster. First I was all in, then you opened the can. Then you said it was just shrimp and I was like, cool. But then you pulled out the toast and I was like, hold up. The butter, idk man. The butter isn’t too far of a stretch for shrimp. I think what would’ve helped tbh was a bit of lemon. Then you just have lemon butter shrimp on toast.
