------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe you have plumbed the depths of your local canned fish selection. Maybe all they have at the store are scary no-name sardines. Maybe you live in a sardine desert. Or a real desert. Where do you get those wonderful fish? Online! Yes, from the same place where youtube comes from! Today we'll go on a virtual shopping trip at Rainbow Tomatoes Garden, and pick out some fun, fun cans. It's not quite the Metaverse. It's more like a Fish-a-verse. Which is really very similar, but has more omega-3s. Believe me, cyber is gonna be huge!!

I just discovered sardines as a cheap low carb source of protein and this channel is exactly my kind of weird

[@stellalunamp4]

same

[@SoftBreadSoft]

is there a high carb source of proteins? i guess beans

[@markdotinc8371]

[@guinea_horn]

Gotta be careful with the oil though. Just dabbing with a paper towel will cut like 50% of the calories but if you eat em straight out of the can you might be getting a lot of calories from fat

[@codexnecrogeddon]

@@guinea_horn Calories from fat and protein is kinda the point of many low carb diets

Hey guys, if you happen to follow me out to rainbowtomatoesgarden.com and pick up some tins, make sure you let Dan know I sent you! Between him and me, we're always trying to gauge the relative sizes and interaction of the various spheres of the Conservas-verse. Good fishing!

Set that ego aside every once in a while. It’s meditative.

[@InvaderofSpace]

Just placed an awesome order of dines and muscles. I let Dan know I found his site by watching your videos Matt. Here was my order: Sardinha Sardines in Olive Oil with Red Bell Pepper Ferrigno La Bonne Mer Sardines in Butter with Persillade (Garlic and Parsley) Ferrigno La Bonne Mer Sardines à la Tapenade (Black Olives, Anchovies, Capers) Ferrigno La Bonne Mer Mussels with Organic Olive Oil, Garlic and Parsley Espinaler Clams in Brine 15/20 Espinaler Baby Sardines in Spicy Olive Oil 10/12 Ramón Peña Mussels in Escabeche (Small) 16/20, Silver Line Never had any of these. Can't wait to try em out!

I haven't tried Ferrigno La Bonne yet, so you gotta tell me if they're worth it. I appreciate you letting Dan know the Fish Filez crew is active!

[@hypeful]

"They say 'HOT' - do they mean it?" is a real struggle when buying spicy food. If it says hot, I want that heat. Keep up the ★★★★★ deen content, Matt!

Have yet to find a real "Spicy" or "Hot" dines. Like they wave a red bell pepper over it, put in some tomato sauce and say it's "spicy ".

This is my new evening activity. Just watching this guy eat fish from a can.

[@obviouswaldo1397]

I dunno how I got here but i'm here for it.

[@The_Cali_Dude_88]

Due to diet restrictions being implemented in my life recently, the need for foods that will not further my condition sardines became an option. I found you and this channel, and you've helped me start my journey. The Ramon Penas were marvelous. I also have ordered through the (Tomatoes) and (Fish) sites.

[@benf8706]

Thank you for being the standard of canned seafood reviews. You've definitely persuaded me to move beyond the basic mackerel and tuna, and I'm loving it!

[@tarawalker7193]

Matt, you have some real foodies watching your channel. YES, we want the FANCY stuff! 🙂 Please and thank you.

[@runesmom1]

I agree…. I like to splurge every once in awhile on a fancy can of sardines as a treat but if I haven’t seen Matt do it & review it, I’m not forking out the $. I rely on Matt to go 1st.

[@luigigiunta2400]

Wholeheartedly show us the FANCY stuff!

[@andrewopresko3827]

[@danatrainbowtomatoes5979]

Great video, as always (and thanks!). The Wildfish Octopus in Bullwhip wasn't a collab between me and anyone, it was a Limited Edition collab between Wildfish and Barnacle Foods (the folks who make the Bullwhip). I sold out of that. Not sure if it's going to be like the McRib and keep re-appearing or not, at this point. Wildfish has been doing a lot of limited edition things, though.

[@tarawalker7193]

Wouldn't that be awesome, though? Lol

[@CannedFishFiles]

Yeah that's right. Well next time I'll have to get some Bullwhip sauce... and maybe a McRib in the meantime...

As someone that is just getting back into the sardine realm, I'm interested in the whole range from budget deens to daily drivers to the tablecloth worthy treats.

[@pdcob]

You inspired me to try to find good sardines. Before watching your video, I assumed a sardine was a sardine was a sardine. Affiliate links might be an idea. You are opening minds!

[@danielberman4289]

Cod liver! Love opening a tin, and searing those lobes in a hot pan. Then I'll put 'em on a dressed bed of greens. Arugula is great. But anything with a strong assertive flavor will do nicely.

[@runesmom1]

Yes! We like the fancy deen reviews!

[@Ryan_Tinney]

That website has a terrific selection.

[@anisdeflavigny]

Specialty stores are the best

I need to expand to the internet for sardines, I've tried everything in the grocery stores.

[@Rnagy3000]

Nice video! Also like to add that RTG is a great place to shop. They have a vast selection and customer service is second to none. Looks like our selection process is very similar.

[@anonymousbot1]

I want to say that I would especially want to see expensive tin reviews so I can live vicariously through you.

I just started having cod liver twice per week. I spread 1/2 of a can on toast, and top it with sauerkraut. Pretty tasty!

[@uberaustin777]

Dang, I love this KZbin channel!

[@scottyates8472]

I just had my first can of Porthos today and I agree with your past review. They have a ton of scales and the flavor was just ok. If these were $2 cans it could be understandable but for $7 or so I'd rather have a Nuri.

[@runesmom1]

Yay! I’m so excited! Thank you for taking us shopping with you, I’m excited to “open” the box. It’ll be like Christmas & we get to see new reviews! I’m looking forward to the upcoming videos! (IMO Moroccan sardines are good but what’s holding them back from being really good or something I’d look forward to getting) is the amount of scales. It’s hard to get past those scales. Anyway…. YAY! New sardine reviews! Thank you!

[@CannedFishFiles]

Gonna do my best to get a good sampling of Moroccan brands and do a deep dive.

[@sergiorome42]

I love this channel. Reason, this may sound a bit weird and nerdy but, this guy is in essence trying and experimenting with all sorts of canned seafood. Which in short saves me so much time and money trying out different canned foods. In a sense, I am offloading much cognitive compute to this KZbin channel and simply just receiving the curated results with some room for personal adaptation.

[@kesselrunheroj8497]

I dont think i can pay more than about 4 bucks a can for sardines, that's an expensive sardine to me- but its fun to watch you do it lol.

[@t3hb0ss]

i got the canned sea urchin, and the insert that came with it suggested I make it into a compound butter... best buttered toast ive ever had, by far!!

[@nicholascherry5962]

This is awesome. I tried my first can fish out of a Dare. I've learned to grow an appreciation for these after watching videos on some of the can's preparations and reviews. It's a great way to try some exotic, neat delicacies from the comfort of your home

You need to open up your own brick and mortar canned fish shop with online shopping available as well. Hold sampling events and maybe even a "deenz" lunch counter.

[@straightedgesteve1592]

RugenFisch is my favourite. Their herring fillets in tomato sauce are really good. $4 a can nowadays in Canada. I grew up on it. The last one I had wasn't as good as usual, but I think it's because it was eaten right after being in the trunk for a two-hour drive on a winter night, so it was colder and firmer than usual. I've really been enjoying the Mega brand sardines in tomato sauce lately. I have a can of Mackarel in tomato sauce that I need to try soon.

OMG the markups on that site! But where else can you find such variety? As a side note I also noticed a lot of moroccan sardines that all seemingly are canned by the same people. the same hefty can. I noticed Brunswick started marketing Maroc sardines and I also have a can of Sea Castle. They look identical. I find Moroccan less fishy that the Canadian sardines typically canned by Brunswick. Maybe Brunswick is trying to branch out for that reason because I really keep away from their Sardines because of the fishiness.
