I agree King Oscar only and only in oil - Mashed on toast - with salt & pepper - yummy

Well, about 1 week ago I got a new "cube-mate" at work. He casually brought up sardines and I said while I had never tried them, I would be open to anything. Sure enough I come into work today and there is a pack of King Oscar Sardines on my desk, with some saltines. I now must try them

. Can someone tell me what to expect? I am open to new things, but I am pretty nervous here. Someone help me out, are they good? Are they fishy?

I brought left over pizza for lunch, maybe Ill hold off until then and just stick one on the pizza instead?

I'm glad you are brave enuff to try them. Neither those or anchovies pass these lips. they remind me of cat food.

Thanks Roosty, would you eat them just on a cracker? Or do you cook with them?

I eat them on bread for a sandwich ~or~ straight out of the can!
On crackers? Sure!

If you like fish, Orange, they are very good.

Unfortunately many people don't like sardines at all... I do like them. I suggest you try them.

And I am team anchovies as well.

Oooooo, yummy yummy! I love sardines on saltines! Not sure how to describe them - they're so different in taste and texture from other fish. I could go for some right now! Good luck with your dining adventure, Orangeish!

PS-Eat them straight out of the can. Do not warm or cook them!
