what are we even doing here

[@nadinegriffin5252]

This is exactly what I ask myself every time I watch a deenz video.🤣

[@ataridc]

We're just living life my guy

[@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger]

Livin life, watching a mustachio'd man eat deenz, cooking some quick katsu to put on my ramen.

[@TheObserver3]

Existing.

[@merllhagard6799]

Watching some dude eat raw fish in a can🤷

[@ThatBlueBadger]

"i'm not some kind of psychopath who needs to taste the bones to have a good time" is a sentence I will be pilfering for completely unrelated matters, pure gold

[@Joseph843]

😂

[@HaHaHimsa]

This man has a "surprise cult leader" amount of charisma. He could make us watch whatever and he's chosen sardines. Big fan.

[@austentallman1427]

I would never had explained it in those terms but what you've said is the most correct thing I've ever read

[@trublgrl]

Our holy sacrament is eating a can of Premium King Oscars and drinking a tiny cup of the oil.

[@edgarm6017]

It’s creepier that there’s no spine because somewhere there’s a bucket of spines

[@ShenanHawkins]

Calcium supplement pills

just like planned parenthood facilities hahah

[@TalkernateHistory]

They need to sell cans of those for the TRUE weirdos

[@user-nj7lg4sy4d]

I have it

[@jjerg]

When I was a kid, my pops said "I'll never find someone who loves sardines as much as you". I wish he was still around to enjoy a can while watching this me. 🐟🤘🏼

[@housemana]

he's always with u now. watching over u. don't worry. we all move on. keep going on enjoying those sardines and he will be enjoying them with u

[@robert7100]

When I was young my dad would tell me " " , I'll never forget those words

[@TaleDreamer]

@@robert7100 Emotional daaaa-mage.

[@trublgrl]

Spending $19 dollars on a can of sardines, and they don't even give you the bones? That's like spending a fortune at a fancy steakhouse, and they don't even give you a hoof.

[@DavidH373]

I love how mellow this dude is, then on top of it he has multiple instruments, synths, and a drawing tablet. He’s obviously competent with the synths because the music is bumping in these vids. This is a very interesting person, and he chooses on top of all of his talents to speak on canned fish. Mind blowing.

[@Drhumbolt]

I was thinking the same, I had zero interest in sardines whatsoever a few days ago. Stumbled acrossed his channel I became interested in his humor and genuine attitude. And now I'm thinking of trying sardines its been two days lol

[@DavidH373]

Eat the bait! @@Drhumbolt

[@Clogmonger]

There's an entire new generation of people eating sardines because of Matt!

[@spaulidstate]

The suspense regarding the spine was like an X-Files buildup. I'm chilled.

[@johncarr2401]

This is the most niche channel I’ve ever found

[@smartin5534]

Comur guy - "You say you like spines? Well, tough shit. Here's some scales instead. That'll be 6 bucks a sardine!"

[@stijn2472]

This is the kind of channel you stuble on at 2am. And it is, in fact, currently 2am from where I am watching this. A channel about canned fish. What a time to be alive.

[@AM-rp8xn]

Just finished a tin as I watch it rn 😂

[@annmoses654]

It's 2:30 pm right now and I'm enjoying this video. A good deenz video is good any time 🐟

[@jarofpickles3456]

2:50 am for me as i type this!

[@MoreSkulls]

2:23am here

[@Smokkedandslammed]

Yo....there's a guy out there making videos on Tiny Toilets. Like actual working ceramic tiny toilets that he makes himself. He flushes marbles and does a whole commentary lol

[@melomet3789]

Door creak sound effect when you opened the second one made me lol

[@tarawalker7193]

The art totally looks like those people all owe Fishodeur money.

[@Drew_Snydermann]

Perhaps you missed the tins of canned sardine spines? Maybe a secret stash behind the counter.

[@gregmccutchan.]

C'mon, Matthew. Admit it. If you worked in a sardine factory, you would eat all the spines.

[@ddexotics1]

$20...for three little fish in a fancy can?? What are we doing here?

[@DrDIY1]

Paid for the experience. Have you seen the store?

[@themodsify]

Caviar joins the chat.

[@PvtFlowers]

you have a superfluous supercar in your profile picture. how does the concept of expensive canned fish escape you?

[@ddexotics1]

I no longer own the lamborghini, due to my recent expensive canned fish habit I was forced to sell it. I blame Matthew@@PvtFlowers

[@Up2_nogood]

I'll be waiting for this reply forever. @@PvtFlowers

[@tjames6427]

You got me into sardines and it's the best thing ever. Thanks.

[@greensombrero3641]

me too

[@quesoblanco444]

He got me to try again, for the umpteenth time. I'm still working at it though.

[@RichardColwell1]

Me three

[@arthas640]

I was eating sardines before, I love oil fish like salmon and tuna but I'm also poor so sardines are a good alternative, but he's really opening my mind to different brands/styles and taught me a ton about the varieties out there.

[@vaevictis2789]

Are they all smoked by default in US?

[@PanarchyTheater]

"usually spine goes in here" Lmao

[@greensombrero3641]

I was in Portugal for holiday - and they take sardines seriously serious. Cheers Matt-san

[@dinosaurandnapkin]

The door hinge sound when he pries open a fish looking for some spine action is everything.

[@hd-be7di]

I found Portuguese sardines at a local convenient store 2$ a can can't beat it. Btw sardine bones are a great source of calcium and magnesium

[@schlomoshekelstein908]

not if they take the spines out lol

[@TaleDreamer]

@@schlomoshekelstein908 Some mofo out there is overloaded with calcium and magnesium about now.

[@bamafader4543]

“I’m not some kind of psychopath that needs to taste bones” says the sardine freak

[@GregB314]

I have always wanted to try a kipper, maybe because of that Fawlty Towers episode. Noticed a tin at the supermarket, bought it. What do I do with it? Ask KZbin. And then I discovered Canned Fish Files with a bloke reminiscent of Weird Al. A really niche channel. I have subscribed and am now a fan. Of videos about canned fish. Who woulda thunk it. Great work Matthew!

[@zacablaster]

Honestly kippers are not amongst the canned fish I like, that's a bit of a rough intro to canned fish

[@B.V.Luminous]

​@@zacablasterI used to have a can of Kippers and a package of Saltines for a snack almost every day as a kid, I loved that.

[@mintymango1231]

i dont go here or really eat sardines (tho that might change) but i absolutely love your commentary style and chill manner- what a banger of a channel

[@kharth55]

I love to come home from work to see a new Canned Fish Files ! Thanks Matt !

[@josephorossi]

matt. the camera work was fantastic on this one.

[@Momoka7]

3:16 At this spot, I expected you to say "That's pretty spineless of them, to take it out"... lol.

[@hoobeydoobey1267]

Now I have an urge to go eat oily sardines. Darn you Sardineman!

[@josephpina32]

I got this recommended to me by the algorithm and boy I’m glad I did. I see sardines, I like; it’s that simple!

[@geoffsullivan4063]

Lol ! "dig that.. you freak !" 😆

[@TheRm65]

Twenty bucks for a can of sardines. That's Manhattan for ya.

[@markiangooley]

Absolutely! I don’t think that I will visit again.

[@The-Pizza-Zone]

I don't eat sardines, or even fish or seafood in general, but this guy popped up on my feed and I watched a video. Then I watched a few more, for what reason, who knows. Now that he's given me the line, "dig that, you freak", I'm hooked. I have to subscribe now.

[@crabwalk7773]

With no bones, how did they come up with "Calcium 27%"?

[@tonybaloney5877]

Haha! “Casuals”

[@Lawman212]

I gotta say those dines looked pretty good. Definitely a premium sardine. Worth $19? Hmmm. Loved the big lack of spine reveal.

[@deanburke9107]

"i'm not some kind of psychopath that needs to taste bones"

[@pleasureincontempt3645]

Man, the spine is like my favourite part due to the texture. This is a new channel for me and I kinda thought I was the only connoseur of canned sardines in the world.

[@Aaron-kq5kk]

I love your KZbin channel. I can't believe you don't have more subscribers. I just came back from a trip to Japan. They have so many amazing canned fish products there. I was in heaven. I filled almost an entire checked suitcase with canned fish souvenirs and almost all of them were confiscated by airport security. Mostly because they were packed in miso paste which has tight export controls but there were other reasons too. Devastating! Anyway I hope you keep making great videos, thank you for everything.

[@stephenn3727]

I wonder if being a spine remover is an apprenticeship position

[@uberaustin777]

"No bones, baby!" Headed to Japan tomorrow morning! Let's see how Japan's tinned fish game is! (We already know it's great.)

[@CannedFishFiles]

I hope you have fun out there! Eat it all for me! Hopefully you don't have time for any tins!

[@StudioCraftHQ]

How was the trip?

[@uberaustin777]

@@StudioCraftHQ So far, it's my favorite country that I've been too! Matthew was right too.. I didn't have any time for tinned fish cause I was eating as much fresh sushi, ramen, and curry as I could get my hands on! I really want to go back one day.

[@JoshuaCunningham2397]

I loved hearing the eyewitness song in the beginning. Took me back to my childhood

[@klubberzvonhatzenbuhl563]

the editing and music for the spineless reveal was impeccable

[@OTOSoundsandVisuals]

Bro, I'm so stoked this randomly came up. Sometimes I get shit from my family for loving sardines. I have some friends that enjoy them too. It's so cool to see a channel dedicated to it. Keep it canning haha

[@BurrBones]

Going to be honest the zoom in on the oily fish freaks me out but your presentation skills are second to none.

[@BrendanAndThings]

My new fave channel.

[@jonnyjames862]

The Eyewitness theme song in the intro awakened long dormant memories.

[@nanvolentine9110]

I'm not a fan of bones in my sardines, but you'd think they would worry less about the bones and more about the scales.

[@briankennally5774]

Scales make me take a break from the deens for a few weeks. Hate those bastards.

[@anadelleramirez]

Yeah I don't mind the bones, but if they have scales I have to eat them with other stuff to distract me from that texture.

[@achecase]

The plus from the calcium in the spine is one major health benefit of sardines.

[@largol33t1]

@@briankennally5774 I just use a sharp butter knife and scrape the scales off. I thought I wouldn't like Trader Joes but they're not bad for the prices and even this guy likes the brand and he tends to be picky.

[@deenzmartin6695]

I'M NOT A FAN OF YOU

[@ArthurShelby-PB]

Incredibly healthy for humans. You either love them or hate them

[@MrLanternland]

I love them, but sardines r one of the worst things for ppl succeptible to gout, like me.

[@arthas640]

Theyre great. Nutritionally theyre similar to muxh more expensive fish like salmon or tuna.

[@boberson83]

Yes I hate humans

[@maxuli21]

​@@arthas640This is why I love them, a food that a peasant can afford, that even a king would enjoy.

[@arthas640]

@@maxuli21 same here. It's kind of depressing since i grew up in a major seafood region (near Seattle) and for my grandparents and parents salmon was so cheap it was like how some people view bologna or spam, when my parents were my age bars would give out fried oysters instead of peanuts because they were cheap, and when my parents and grandparents were young tuna and salmon in your lunch box marked you as poor or too lazy to make a fancier sandwich. Even when i was growing up the price was higher but salmon and tuna were both really affordable, sometimes close to the price of chicken or pork. Now it's wealthy people only or a special occasion kind of food. Sardines scratch that same fatty fish itch ive got and they are super healthy and affordable. Also I'm stealing that "food that a peasant can afford, that even a king would enjoy" line.

[@danielwood877]

guy who reviews sardines is an instant subscription, i love sardines

Existential drift, "What are we even doing here?" Silent pondering.

I loved the EyeWitness music at the intro.

[@richardwarfield7386]

Great thanks - now I'm hooked on Sardines again

[@Tradefy]

this business makes a lot of money, 19USD is unreal. 😂

[@J.B.1982]

“Scare away the casuals”. That made me laugh. Love this channel. I need to get back into canned fish. Some of the price points scared me away but it’s worth it for the experience.

[@davidz6490]

They should have scaled them too if they went through the trouble of despining it!

[@ShaneMorris1986]

It’s nice to find someone else who loves sardines as much as I do.

[@funkophone]

handsome chunk of fish

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

They took the spine but left the scales. the Can Art would make a nice poster for a Sardine Party.

Spines in the sardines are my favorite. Crunch crunch crunch

[@bigjoeangel]

Those look like the deenz I found in the back of my cupboard that I bought in 2018 for £0.40 from Aldi. Two large pilchard sized sardines in sunflower oil. I felt like eating some out of date food and these were fine grilled with a squeeze of lemon, some cracked pepper and buttered bread. Great prepping food, they can be eaten years after their best before date.

The spine pop texture is the best part😢

Hey Matt, aside from the Wii Shop Channel music at the end, do you usually produce your own music for these videos? I'm always curious about all the synthesizer stuff in the background, especially the modular gear.
