We buy Beach Cliff sardines which are a subsidiary of Bumble Bee and often the lowest priced. We just get the plain ones in water. Last time I looked, there were a product of the U.S.A. We eat them plain on saltine crackers, or sometimes on Triscuits with a spread of Laughing Cow cheese (or you can use a hard roll too). Good for lunch or as a snack.
Me! I like them on crackers with mustard. Or on soft white cheese, with crackers. My crackers of choice are Triscuits, but saltines sound good too.
Perfect lunch: sardines on crackers with Guldens Mustard, and ripe cherry tomatoes.
Does anyone know a different, and good, way of eating them?
I used to eat them until I stopped at an all night mini mart. There was a three shift factory across the street from this mart and the second shift was on break. That is when I witnessed someone eating sardines in mustard sauce by using chunks of angel food cake to dig them out of the can. Just no!
Back in late February and early March when it seemed as though my fellow Americans were stripping the store shelves bare of toilet paper and all basic edibles in preparation for the End Times, I had difficulty accessing canned salmon and tuna so I stocked up on sardines in their place as there were plenty available in stores.
It had been a while since I'd eaten canned sardines and was surprised to discover that I like them now just as much as I did when I was a little girl sitting at my grandfather's side eating them on saltine crackers.
Fresh sardines eaten while in season were a much later discovery (so good!), but I think that as with tuna and salmon, I like these canned little fish just as much as do the fresh ones--only in a different way.
From now on, I think that sardines have earned a permanent place on my pantry staples list as they're wonderful for a quick, inexpensive meal or snack.
Is anyone else a fan of this humble little canned fish?
Yes!
I eat canned sardines 6 days per week.
They have protein, omega-3s and are very low in Mercury.
They are very affordable.
I put 1 can per day in my bowl of Quinoa, Basmati brown rice, lentils, barley, chopped red and green peppers and garlic.
I now buy Tiny Tots brisling sardines in olive oil. I rinse lightly and drain, before eating. There are no bones. But I remember eating sardine bones. I will have to have a look at the “specialty grocer” I visit every other week. I wonder what sardines they carry?
We need any diversion we can get during the pandemic, no?

Oh yes, a can of sardines, some hot sauce,Crystal preferred, some soda crackers and a coke of any variety . A working mans lunch.
