I'm curious about the amount of time you cook your sardines (one hour to steam, 30 minutes to bake). Everything else I've seen has far lower cooking times - maybe 20 minutes total. <br /><br />What is the reasoning for such long cooking times? Better taste? Softer bones?

He went to his doctor, who performed tests and found that his mercury levels were high. Joe Rogan said he had been eating lots of fresh sardines and that had caused the high mercury levels. Joe sort of just mentioned this in passing and I was wondering if anyone else had had this problem eating fresh (not canned) sardines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-14089414284719409152014-01-21T21:12:16.738-08:002014-01-21T21:12:16.738-08:00Hi.

Recently I tried wild mussels, and they tasted like nothing. The farmed ones taste much better.<br /><br />What you said about tilapia is definitely true for the wild form, but I am not sure about the farm-raised variety.<br /><br />In the wild form, the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is pretty decent if compared with beef (even grass fed).<br /><br />But it doesn't even get close to the ratio, and the amount of omega-3, you find in sardines.Ned Kockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755560885749335053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-47423621417019420592010-03-30T09:59:31.655-07:002010-03-30T09:59:31.655-07:00I disageee with your take on Tilapia.

Just add plenty of butter to a pan, fry Tilapia in that butter and pour leftover fat on top. <br /><br />The good things about Tilpaia is that is is a very fast growing fish and does not accumulate metals in its flesh either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-86347055163147261702010-02-24T00:58:30.614-08:002010-02-24T00:58:30.614-08:00I found another source for my sardines: a Japanese...I found another source for my sardines: a Japanese market.

Still, leaving the organs out but still eating them is better than not eating them at all.

Delicious, affordable little fish, but I can't seem to stomach the stomach. I've been gutting the fish and giving the innards to my dog. I do suck the eyeballs out and munch on the brain/head/bones, but am I really missing out by not eating the organs? I eat plenty of pastured beef heart and liver, but the sardine innards just taste incredibly foul.<br /><br />Might this be an indication of poor diet? These are wild caught sardines.<br /><br />Perhaps I'll try several at once baked whole. Maybe I just got a bad sardine.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796851428259135727noreply@blogger.com
