I missed this thread originally, but after discovering it the other day I decided to give them a go.
Last time I ate canned sardines would have been when I was in my late teens and often flat broke before pay day. A can of supermarket brand sardines in tomato sauce (from god knows what 3rd world shithole) was at the time about 25c.
A few of these with a 99c loaf of bread could keep you alive until your pay came through for a few bucks.
I usually get through a few cans of tuna per week, but recently the more expensive tuna was on sale for less than the cheap tuna. I bought some and found it so superior that the cheap stuff was now completely inedible.
The day this thread got bumped, some decent Canadian sardines happened to be on sale for less than either kind of tuna. It was a no brainer. Good cheap, long life body fuel.

Canned mackerel is absolutely delicious. You get filets as opposed to a few whole (headless) sardines. I switch it up since they're both very nutritious.
A mate got me onto canned mackerel years ago too, he used to put them on a sandwich with sprouts and some other salad stuff that I've now forgotten. I did so too for a while... but when that juice runs down your hand as you're eating, it's there for days regardless of what industrial strength shit you throw at it. Your hand will smell like you've been three knuckles deep into the dirtiest pussy in human history for the rest of the week whether you like it or not.
