I love sardines too, but I have to go out to the parking lot and eat them in my car. No one at the office will let me and people in the lunch room made it clear I should eat them in my office.
I have a friend in the Sons of Amvets who makes the best smoked clams in olive oil you have ever tasted! It's a real treat when he brings some in to the bar. Like he did yesterday afternoon!
That sounds very appetizing. I'll admit, I'm not much of sardine eater. Every now and then I'll buy some packed in mustard and put 'em on saltines. But, they are nutritious.
Glad to hear about the sardine cannery. Hopefully it will remain open.

They said on the news if it does stay open it will most likely package lobster meat not sardines.

When my family lived in ME back in the 70s, my Dad would bring home lobster once a week from Portland. He was stationed there -- in the USCG. Was cheap enough even for a relatively poor family like ours to pig out on.
Sometimes I wished he'd moved us to Portland instead of Cornish. But, he wanted the country environment for us. Still, I enjoyed my time there.
Sardines yuk Went Moose hunting in NFLD a couple of years ago My guide asked me if I wanted some sardines I declined. My stomach turned watching him eat them. All I could think of was that sardines looked like bait I would use to catch a real fish. To top it off he drank the juice in the can

The "poor kids" in our school ate lobster and crabmeat sandwiches. They were more than happy to trade for bologna or PB&J. One of our favorite meals when I was a kid was a mess of crabs. They were dirt cheap but we loved them. My father would get us a box full of them for about $2.00 boil 'em up and we'd pick out crab legs until we got sick! Yummy. We ate a lot of seafood when we were growing up. No meat Fridays(Catholic) were the best. We called it fish night. Scallops, haddock, shrimp, filet of sole, swordfish, crabs, clams, lobster, scallops (pronounced scALLops not skalips) smelts, etc. Every Friday night it was something. If there was any left over the first kid up got that fish for breakfast. I was usually up first!
Unfortunately the major processors found it is more profitable to tear down their plants and relocate overseas. I found some Van De Kamp sardines in the dollar store that are processed in Thailand. When I checked the company website to investigate product processing serial #s it indicated that a large portion of fish is frozen here in the states, shipped to southeast Asia, then packed for shipping back to the states under a different brand label.
MY mom's house is just down the road from the plant. That said Look's still cans sardines..
