Today's lunch, Beach Cliff sardines in water, drained and hit with some malt vinegar.
Note to Russ, Cliff, et al, no innards to be found.

Asians eat them all the time. Add a can of sardines, sliced onions, and some ketchup together and sauté or just microwave. Then eat with toast or french bread. I think it's like a seafood version of a marinara sandwich.

I dont know about that Bob, are you sure. Did you open up every cavity to make sure that it was completly cleaned out?
I doubt you did. I mean who cleans out a sardine? A machine or a human? I would hate to have the job cleaning sardines 8 hours a day.
And if a machine does it, no telling how many little goodies are left behind. You all will never convince me. LOL
If one sardine got into my mouth I would toss my cookies.
For the record I dont eat any seafood or fish. Can not stand the smell or flavor.
Years ago I worked with this guy who ate these little tiny sardines at lunch on the job site. They were maybe a inch, inch & half long in some kind of sauce. Smelled like cat food, I stayed far away. These sardines had never been opened up & he said they were cooked whole. There were no cut marks on those stinking little minnows. LOL

Best sardines I have ever ate...
These are so good (to me), I will crumble a few crackers in the leftover oil and eat it all.
I have even cooked them in grits.
Can't find them in the stores anymore.

Just to make you sardine haters cringe, lunch yesterday. 
No tails, no fins, no guts, only Yum at $4 per tin.

This thread brings back memories of my Dad. We used to have Sardine sandwiches with mayonnaise, if I remember and it was a long time ago I think he did remove the bones which were small. My Mom would leave the kitchen she couldn't even look at them. Not had a sardine sandwich in 50 years. I think they were all packed in Oil in those days kind of like most if not all of the tuna.

Some are in oil, soy bean, cottonseed, and olive. I like olive the best, but soy bean is ok too.
Also available in tomato sauce, hot sauce, with peppers, mustard, and lemon with oil.
Great source of calcium, if you leave the bones in. Since I've been on a recent sardine kick, trying several different brands, I haven't even noticed bones like they used to have.
I always liked the crunch.

I think my dad brought home Kippers canned in tomato sauce once think I passed on those.

I bumped into these of late, and they are as good as Crown Prince sardines.
They are packaged in Morocco (probably the very same processing center that Crown Prince is packaged in), and they taste every bit as good as Crown Prince in the blue box above. I found these in Walmart for about $2.00 a can, and I am enjoying them very much.
For what it's worth, sardines processed in Morocco are harvested in the mid-Atlantic, and they do not have the strong fishy taste that cold water sardines have. They taste like a cross between cold water sardines and tuna in my opinion. Mind you, I like cold water sardines, but I like the mid-Atlantic variety better.
Where did you find those sardines above, Bob?

I bought the Matiz brand from Amazon.
Your link didn't work, but I think these are the ones you're talking about:
I'll have to give them a try.
