[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all have convinced me to try them. Anyone have links to brands/types that you recommend?[/quote]

OP again. My favorites (so far) are Nuri (any flavor, including plain in oil), Fishwife's preserved lemon flavor, and Flower's Moroccan spice (though the tomato sauce from Flower is also really good). Those all come in tins w/ oil (or tomato sauce). I found La Sirena brand at my local market, and they come in adorable tiny cans. The "pica poco" was spicy enough and the "pica pica" was genuinely spicy. I like spice, and have found that even sardines labeled such aren't very hot, so if you also like spicy, maybe look for spicy tomato or something similar, not just oil. I also like Nissui soy sauce and soybean paste, especially over rice (and buckwheat noodles, which I learned today!). I have heard great things about Matiz, but haven't found them locally yet. Patagonia actually makes tinned sardines now, and they're good. They come with other flavors (and beans!), so they're perfect as a quick meal without adding much else. Personally, I like to make sardine toasts with pickled onions, capers, preserved lemons, pepper sauces, etc., so I find plain sardines a bit easier to work with. But I do appreciate the convenience of being able to grab a fish tin and a carb and have a ready meal.

My "to try" list includes:

Skin & Bone
Santo Amaro
BELA
JOSÉ Gourmet
La Brújula Sardinas
El Manar

But really, I'll try any of them. A note: I prefer mine with their skins/bones. Some like boneless/skinless (I think they run a little dry), but I appreciate the extra calcium from the bones.[/quote]
