Sardines are some of my favorite fish, I like mine mashed with some hot sauce and then put on a slice of whole wheat toast, toast under a grill till hot, yummy... happy eating, Cara. — Anonymous	08/10/2010 - 5:22pm
I like them plain, right out of the can. I used to eat a lot of these when I was young and have kind of let my taste for them fall by the wayside. They are very good. I will have to get a can and start eating them again. I used to eat the skin on with bones but I think I would like the skinless and boneless better. — Anonymous	08/10/2010 - 5:34pm
Just right out of the can!!! I have never tried them in a recipe - my grandpa turned me on to eating sardines when was very young, and I remember sitting in their kitchen with some crackers, cheese, and and an open can. I think that's the best way for someone to get to know these yummy little flavor powerhouses! — Anonymous	08/11/2010 - 9:21am
With a fork--straight from the can, or on brown (Hovis) bread-&-butter. — Anonymous	08/11/2010 - 5:15pm
I love sardines! I had no idea they were good for the heart. So I will be eating them more often as I recently had a heart attack. I love eating sardines w/hot grits, cheese and hot sauce, Has to be FRANKS hot sauce, LOL! Sardines in mustard sauce is delish too!. I like eating sardines w/crackers too. thats a great snack too! — Anonymous	08/11/2010 - 10:52pm
In my region (Boston, MA) they sell Beach Cliff sardines canned in water. They're the only brand I've found that has sardines canned in water rather than oil, so I get those. But, I don't think they're Pacific sardines. I'm pretty sure they're fished in the North Atlantic. Does it make a lot of difference whether they're Pacific or North Atlantic? I eat sardines all the time because they're reasonably affordable, but I'm afraid if I have to go to the Whole Foods fish monger to get Pacific wild-caught sardines and cook them up myself -- well, it's probably just not going to happen. Can I still feel good about eating my Northeast sardines (not sure if they're wild-caught, either) ?? — Anonymous	08/12/2010 - 12:31am

In the phils the common way would be with rice. Sardines in tomato sauce are sauteed with garlic and onion with a dash of pepper. you can add chopped vegetables, like green beans, or julliened cabbage or bokchoy. — Anonymous	08/20/2010 - 2:09am
