How many of you here like sardines? Because that's my favorite. It's 3 days straight already that my breakfast is sardines. Seriously I can survive my 1-week meals with sardines and rice alone and my officemates are asking already why sardines always. lol We have a variety of sardines in the Philippines, so it's happier to try and taste them all. How about you guys?

I am glad you like it. I do not eat sardines. My grandma did not like it so I never knew sardines until my oldest sister eats spanish sardines but still. I did not try it.

I like fresh water fish to the marine ones! Though I heard much about these fish I never tried them so far!

Yeah, that's what I told others that, they need to give it a try and eventually they'll love it. You know my sister is an OFW for many years already and she told me that when you are in other country, you'll gonna miss everything in the Philippines specially foods and you will appreaciate every single thing here when your in other side of the world.

I better eat mackerel canned that are cooked, because the fish is bigger and the seasoning is more pronounced.

for me, canned sardines, tuna or mackerel every day is still healthier than fried/salted/smoked fish every day (daing, tuyo, tinapa)
