I spent most of my life thinking they were cat food at best. But I visited Clydes one day for bivalves and martinis and tried their new conservas menu. Now I am watching tinned fish reviews and eating all kinds of sardines.

I grew up making fun of my dad for always packing fishy smelly things in his work lunch like tuna, sardines, deviled ham, etc. But last time I was at the local Aldi, I took a gamble on some cheaply priced canned fish items. Lo and behold... the 'dines (pronounced "deens") were goddamn delicious. I used a video aid (pictured) to make sure I was doing it correctly. I also tried some canned smoked oysters, which were equally great. I feel this kind of character development is so very important for people of all ages. If you're looking to get into the greater canned fish fandom, I highly recommend "Canned Fish Files w/ Matthew Carlson" on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@cannedfishfiles

After not shutting up about my fascination with tin fish, my coworker bought me a little can of sardines. All I’m gonna say is it was 10 times better than the can of sardines I bought at the market that was $.99 which I believe was from Chicken of the Sea. As someone with limited knowledge of what a good tin fish is, I’m gonna try to describe this as best as possible. The Moroccan Spice Sardines were really juicy and surprisingly meaty if that makes any sense. They’re not as spicy as I thought they were gonna be, but I will say the spice kinda snuck up on you in the back of your throat, but it wasn’t unpleasant it was a very nice sardine. I will say I had a gherkin. I have no clue what the hell a gherkin is or what it’s supposed to taste like I will say it tasted just like the oil so that was interesting. Would say hands down that was probably the best entry-level sardine experience. I will say we did pair it with a sourdough toast with a little bit of cream cheese and lemon juice that was amazing.

This is a cookbook with no recipes that will teach you how to cook everything. It covers everything there is to know about food -- from how it was discovered, how man changed it, how it is grown, how it is harvested and how to prepare and cook it. It dramatically changed my cooking life.

Travel is about getting along with strangers. Being kind and generous tends to pay off 10x. Also never book a connecting flight if at all possible. Takeoff and landing are your only points of failure don’t multiply them.
