DON'T DOG THE 'DINES

..
Most people back off when you offer them a hit from a can of Sardines. But along with some crackers/chips and a coldie they make for an epic tailgate grind between Summer sessions.
And they pack for travel anywhere easy.
.
Plus, being really low on the food chain makes for much lower mercury content than tuna, etc. And they're a great source of Omega-3 fats.

But don't just take my word for it:

But seriously... first time, try skinned & boneless (as pictured at top). In any case, packed in olive oil is a good way to go.

you're a champ RT, I love me the 'dines much to my child's horror. I roll with the Moroccan spicy but the old classic Norwegian in oil work fine. Corn chips and a IPA are the best compliments

resintint,
you were a core kid! i find most adults are put off by the 'dines because of presumptions of them being gross held on to since childhood. glad to be a reminder. and the 3-fats is damn good to keep the surfin' joints lubed.

stoked to prove a champ to a kiwi, kirk! i'll look for the moroccan spicy. thanks for the tip. yep, seems there's always a beer involved, and something about eating them under a hot sun with salt in the ears and a little dirt on the bare feet always seems just right. been diggin' mine most on saltines. tell your kid i said, "bottoms up!"
