Sardine Taste Test Rainy day fishing channel fun

[@chatgirlai]

Thanks for the taste test. Loved hearing the rain and thunder.

[@TimeToEatTheBait]

We had another big round of rain and lightning yesterday, should have filmed another Sardine video. Thanks for watching.

[@ataridc]

yes herring the rain was nice

[@revolvermaster4939]

King Oscar for me all day long, especially the Mediterranean style.

[@GrendelSheperd]

Love canned fish. Excellent post sir. I’d destroy all of them but prefer a kipper on a club with Tabasco 🤙

[@48grizzly]

I'm 75 yrs old. Got my first taste of sardines compliments of a hobo who was passing through my town in the 1950s. I've been a sardine lover ever since.

[@Redbird1504]

I grew up in New Orleans but live in Texas now. Subscribed as soon as i heard him talk.

[@ronnyb9416]

King Oscar Mediterranean is my favorite by far. It is my go to sardine. Excellent flavor, texture and quality. Plus I prefer my canned fish in olive oil.

[@SRadigFishing]

King Oscar does make a good quality sardine, seems like most are canned in Poland.

[@Alpha-Mike-Foxtrot]

The Oscar is King

[@gerryhouska2859]

Ditto.

[@mmpatriot2170]

That was fun! Great alternative when you can’t fish. I learned a bunch of new things about sardines, and I had to open up a can. 😃

[@oldmanfred8676]

I agree Ronny, canned fish in Olive oil.

[@joshuawells5953]

Love me some canned seafood. I grew up extremely poor with 6 siblings. My dad and I were the only ones who enjoyed sardines so we were guaranteed to always have a snack in the pantry. Now that I'm older and slightly richer, the best sardines I've had are Nuri sardines from Portugal. They cost a fortune as far as sardines go but damn are they good. I never go camping or fishing without them. There's also a Hawaiian dish made with canned sardines that's really good. Can't think of the name right now but you can find recipes on KZbin for it.

[@SRadigFishing]

NURI are awesome, some things are worth the extra cost. Thanks for watching.

[@sic-n-tiredtired4273]

I agree 100% I just got the recurring order for the spicy Niris.

[@rickyjohnson6848]

Just recently started my own sardine taste tests. Only tried 3 on this video, Season, Brunswick and Great Value. Ate half a Great Value, gave the remainder to my dog. Ate half a Brunswick, gave the remainder to my dog. Ate half a Season, ate the remainder myself. My personal favorites so far are the Polar smoked Brisling sardines.

[@SRadigFishing]

Just tried Rugenfish, Fried Herring in marinade. Might be the best yet, taste like jared pickled herring.

[@jimm8246]

Your dog is happy.

[@rayberger2694]

Season sardines are my favorite, Packed in olive oil.

[@GetOverYourself1000]

Polar brisling is my fav too!

[@henryjoshual1848]

lucky dog !!

[@tammybacha9813]

I'm a little late to see this. But, I have to tell you, I totally enjoyed watching you do this sardine and herring taste test❣️ I love canned sardines, herring, mackerel, smoked oysters, and even anchovies 😋 My dad raised me right! 🤣

[@SRadigFishing]

The response to eating sardines while fishing has been great. So I started a channel called Time to eat the bait and will feature a different tin of seafood every Wed. and Sat. I would edit out the sardine part to keep the videos short but people keep commenting where is time to eat the bait?

[@tammybacha9813]

@@SRadigFishing Sounds like that's a great problem to have❣️ I will check out that channel, too 😀

[@brendacollins345]

Me too!! Try deviled eggs topped with anchovy, so good!!!😊

[@AlahuSnackbar]

spicy pickled herring is whats up

[@randallbundy108]

King Oscar are by far the best sardines in my opinion.. The only kind I'll eat, and I eat a lot of sardines..

[@margaritanix6560]

Your awesome what a cozy and informational video thanks.

[@Davett53]

2/19/23......Sardines, ROCK!.....Weekly sardine eater, here! They are great in chicken broth,...makes a swell, poor man's fish soup. Had it for dinner last night. Plus croutons. I eat all the brands you are showing. An inexpensive meal, plus they are an excellent source of protein, plus Omega 3 vitamin benefits. Kippered Herring fillets is another favorite of mine. They provide you a cheap meal that is GOOD for you. I'm almost 70 years old, been eating them since I was a kid. Back when the tins required you use a built-in, metal "key", to pull back the top. Sometimes the present day, modern tins, will not open properly. It is possible the pull tab will fail, and you could be "shit-out-luck", in terms of opening them, if you don't have a mechanical rotary can opener, in your kitchen tool drawer. That is really a rare occurrence. They are better than eating a cookie, to stave off hunger. They are mild, and usually low in salt. They taste good in salads, even though I am not a fan of salads, Ha! They are a perfect "emergency" food. Keep some cans in your car, they never go bad. Great for camping trips. If your power ever goes out during a winter storm, they will keep you alive and satisfied. I used to add A-1 steak sauce, poured over a serving, when I wanted to be "fancy". Delish!

[@SRadigFishing]

I will try some in chicken broth, sounds great.

[@Davett53]

@@SRadigFishing Yeah, I buy a brand of chicken broth that has less salt & fat. Add a tin of sardines, chop it up a bit,.....into the micro-wave to heat it up. ( a person could get fancy and add already cooked vegetables),...not me, I'm too lazy.

[@rodneysmart9774]

Sardines are one of the most nutritious foods in a can. I eat anything from the ocean. I've loved sardines my whole life. My wife however, hates sardines. So I eat my sardines out in my shop. Sometimes I catch em from my kayak. Very good food.

[@timvandenbrink4461]

I eat them out in the garage, my wife can’t stand them. Lol

[@MrTwizzlet]

This is the most honest and trustworthy food review video I have ever seen. You mukbang fans need some help.

[@patriciareynolds2729]

ED here, luv the polar wood smoked. the larger the fish the stronger, stinkery they are! beachcliff usually strong. king oscar are smaller and milder.

[@scottbowermaster7385]

I've also tried a lot of "sardines " My favorite were the New Brunswick packed in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

[@dankemusico5878]

The brunswick kipper snacks are one of my favorite canned fishes I love em

[@jeffrocx8599]

Great video!

[@thomasschierer9326]

Ty i have heard great things about great value sardines from walmart in water , buying in 2 weeks 100 cans, ty for showing me what they look like.

[@paulforbes1217]

I did a similar taste taste, including a number of expensive European brands. King Oscar came out on top for me.

[@lorithompson9166]

What a great idea! Thank you. Keep them coming!

[@gabrielleangelica1977]

They're back in style and good for you too!

[@frederickmoller]

Being a Canadian citizen, I'll have to go with the Brunswick brand that I've been eating regularly for 60+ years, I enjoy their Sardines and Herring in their different flavours...BTW their Sardines come in a more squarish can, not like the elongated Herring can!

[@SRadigFishing]

I have never bee disappointed by Brunswick. Thanks for watching.

[@naguerea]

I will look them up, thanks.

[@dronezone7451]

i want sardines now for sure ! they all look great ! i do like Polar brand a lot ! you are cool AF ! you like them all ! 😆 nothin wrong with that ! you did say witch one you like better so thats cool !

[@roymcintyre579]

I have fond memories of my dad eating sardines, Mackerel and Smoked Oysters. I have always loved any form of canned oily fish. I have always ate 2 cans of sardines a week for the last thirty years. When you don't want to be bothered by the wife or kids down a can of Sardines or Mackerel before the night is over you will be left alone, Or you will get the whole bed for the night. LOL

[@SRadigFishing]

I agree, best memories ever eating sardines and herring with my Dad! In one video I call them a time machine that takes me back to the 1970's in my parents kitchen.

[@dsouza4746]

I grew up eating sardines because I’m Portuguese and grew up in Northern California.. recently moved to Portugal to retire and the sardines here are so much better and fresh.

[@SRadigFishing]

I hope to get some fresh ones some day.

[@oldmanfred8676]

⁠Sooo jealous!

[@Mars-77]

That's where Nuri sardines are from. $7 a can here in the USA

[@WORRO]

Sure done made me hungry! Thumbs up video ~John

[@munkeepilot]

Great job with the review, thank you!

[@markmoses2022]

Enjoyed the video. You have to try the Brunswick golden smoked fillets. This product is actually cooked in a smoker. The Brunswick can you tried are cooked by steamed and liquid smoke added. No comparison between the two. If fillets is mushy it usually means the fish was previously frozen. Talking from experience as I worked on the golden smoke production line many years ago. I eat the golden smoke product regularly. My bother works were the Brunswick cans are manufactured.

[@SRadigFishing]

I will have to look for that product. Thanks for the comment, I am learning a lot about the processing from the comment section.

[@SteveB357]

My grandad, who introduced me to sardines when I was 3-4 years old, always insisted that the cheaper the sardine, the better. Bourbon too.

[@SRadigFishing]

Since I made the video I have tried several other cheap cans and bought cans as high as eight dollars. Some of the cheap ones are just as good.

[@sonofadeadbeat3051]

King Oscar Mediterranean might change your mind.

[@stanborg4755]

Your grandad knew his sardines. The cheaper they are, the more you can buy.

[@AB-nb2ic]

Don't go TOO cheap on the whiskey. There's a sweet spot.

[@zap_collection6511]

I find this to be true Bumblebee sardines cost $1.29 where I live, and they're better than the king Oscar in my opinion

[@stephenfisher3721]

When I was growing up King Oscar brisling sardines were in sild (fish oil) and packed in Norway. They were the best.

[@SRadigFishing]

Sild is a new term to me, Thanks for the information.

[@lorneperalta9314]

I like the ones in olive oil. Dump the whole can in a salad and be done with it.

[@Sartana1899]

Fun video. I'm not a big fan of canned fish, but I eat sardines for their nutritional value. I usually buy whatever is the most inexpensive. Glad to see my choices meet with your approval.

[@SRadigFishing]

People just don't know about the health benefits! Thanks for watching.

[@nisharahan]

Highly recommend you get ones in olive oil or water if you’re eating them for health reasons

[@SRadigFishing]

Next test will be the hot sauce/mustard ones.

[@billynolanjr2266]

Man ! I love Sardines ! I like mine in hot sauce ! And also with some cocktail sauce! King Oscar is hard to beat but the 88 cent walmart sardines are an awesome value and delicious! Great video, Hooked on sardines for life ! Love them ! Right out of the can ! I miss the old days with the roll up key for the can ...

[@TimeToEatTheBait]

I have another channel called (Time To Eat The Bait) where all I do is review sardines and tinned seafood. I am 14 tins into a series of 18 tins on sardines with hot sauce or peppers right now.

[@Tipi_Dan]

The kippers I remember from childhood were dried salted red herrings and they didn't come in a can. They weren't juicy. I started hankering for them and had to special-order them from Jamaica. They have largely disappeared in the US.

[@SRadigFishing]

I will look for those, they sound good. Thanks for watching.

[@AsTheWheelsTurn]

that sounds very good, I have never seen them that way here where I live.

[@lars2894]

Absolutely delightful. I personally love Season brand whole sardines in EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), eat at least 2 cans a week!

[@dixieman2864]

Thank you for a very informative video.

[@jamessawyer4971]

That was a great video !!! I love sardines and I have and have since I was a kid. About 60 years ago....long time. I've tried every one that you had and I will say that the Polar kippers are pretty damn good. My favorite is and always has been the Brunswick kippers. Now , I will say that they have changed a bit over the years but I love em. Nothing wrong with the King Oscars sardines. There isn't anything wrong with any sardine or kipper. Just my 2 cents worth. Thank you for this great video. I'll look for more of your videos!!!

[@SRadigFishing]

Thanks for the view and comments.

[@billyhughes805]

I love sardines, the Canadian style sardines by Brunswick are my go to but there are plenty of types of sardines where I live in the UK as well as pilchards, another oily fish I love is mackerel, good video and good on you for your sardine habit. Not enough people have one.

[@SRadigFishing]

I also did a canned mackerel vs. canned salmon patty video. I think the Mackerel was better. Thanks for the view.

[@neoarmour]

Ohh just threw out most of a can. As a Canadian, I say buy Portuguese

[@blur911]

I was surprised to see Brunswick Sardine filets, I don't think I've ever seen them in Canada, perhaps they are an export product. The Brunswick sardines I get are just regular sardines, about 5 to a can. You can get them in several flavours.

[@covertyankee]

I had to stop and watch this. I love Sardines and Kipper Snacks. I couldn't tell you how many cans of the Polar brand I've bought over the years.

[@wilhelmtaylor9863]

I eat sardines and herring often. I only buy if they are not packed in oil. Packed in oil is a crap shoot - olive oil is not likely to be of high quality and vegetable oils are very inflammatory. My preferred fish isVita brand herring is wine sauce or in cream sauce. I love fried herring (bratherring) and herring in mustard sauce. Even packed in water is better than oil. And I'm with you: skin and bones. Need that collagen. I found this video very informative. Thanks.

[@PotniaTheronVT]

Thank you for this! I'm going to give them a try too.

[@Badastro59]

I love these products, as a boy (55 years ago) we would have for Dinner Herring in tomato sauce, with mashed potatoes with finely chopped raw onion mixed though the mashed potatoes, Enjoyed your video

[@SRadigFishing]

Sounds good, I will try that.

[@gatblau1]

I’ve been eating the King Oscar sardines for the past couple of years. I’ve seen those Cliff House sardines at the dollar store but was weary about trying them. I might give them a try now.

[@choimdachoim9491]

There's a few brands with mustard or tomato sauce I love. I've had all the brands you showed here. I agree with you about nutrients missing on the skinned and deboned types. Costco has a nice brand here in Louisiana. My favorite way to eat sardines is in a sandwich with thin-sliced onions, mustard and maybe some capers or sliced pepproncini. The herring I just like straight out of the tin. You mention canned salmon: makes the best "burger" patties. The best smoked herring, etc., I've ever had came from a Deli in Los Angeles where they sell the whole fish. My Polish in-laws always served herring in white sauce from a jar at holiday meals. Good stuff.

[@SRadigFishing]

I have been looking for jarred Herring with onions. I call it time machine in a bottle, it makes me feel like 1975 eating it with my Farther!

[@michaell1665]

I just found this video! Now Radig, as a fellow SE Louisiana kayak fisherman I'm saying: " What is this guy doing eating sardines?" Then I thought, "Oh yeah! We coonasses will eat anything that swims (and many things that don't swim)! Seriously, it was a great video - you did a great job! I like sardines myself - great food to store for the apocalypse!

[@Antipodean33]

I'd love to send you some of our Australian sardines from the Southern Ocean. We also have Mackeral fillets which are real nice. The bonus of the ocean i live on, the Southern ocean is it is pretty much pristine, it's deep and cold and we have a great product here. Get in touch and I'll send you some

Thanks for the offer. If I can't find some in local import markets I might take you up on that. For now send me some of the brand names so I can look for them.

I prefer the Seasons brand, skinless. I can’t handle the fins. To me, they taste like a richer tuna.

[@LASLOEGRI]

Very thoughtful review of sardines. I’d enjoy hearing your thoughts on Portuguese Comur brand of sardines and other fish. They appear to be the Rolex of canned fish and although delivery is prompt from Portugal you may have to take out a second mortgage to buy them.

Great video, and I concur on your ratings. Polar, and every other can from Germany I've had are excellent, but usually the most expensive. Brunswick has a kipper called "Golden Smoked" I find them to be smoked more than the standard and much closer to Polar in texture. Keep an eye out for them.
