So you guys memed me into eating some deenz today and it wasn't that bad, just a little bland. I ended up putting them on saltines and dabbling some hot sauce on to make them pop a little.
Recommend me some more flavorful alternatives that I can actually get my hands on. I live in a shithole with a Publix, Walmart and a Harveys so any off the wall brand stuff I'm not going to have access to.

I get King Oscar, a bit pricey here, but boneless and yummy
I got some boneless to ease me into the deen life but now I don't notice the bones and can eat the cheap ones
i think part of the appeal of sardines is that they're a great vessel for hot sauces if you get the plain ones.
my favorite is king oscar with jalapenos. if i have just plain sardines i might add a little olive muffaletta mix, pickled jalapenos, or eat them on a flavorful bread
Today I bought:
King Oscar two-layer brisling, in olive oil
king oscar kippers
crown prince kippers
Wild planet sardines in olive oil
I'll probably eat one tonight and get back to you
You're supposed to just chew the bones up, right?
>You're supposed to just chew the bones up, right?
Yes, the bones are a little "chalky" in texture but perfectly edible in fish this small. Free calcium my dude
I also tried these today. I think I actually like the deenz better to be honest.
Total novice here. What are some entry-level deenz?
Also, what's the difference between sardines and anchovies?
>Also, what's the difference between sardines and anchovies?
They're two different species of fish.
Anchovies should not be eaten straight out of the can. They're packed in way too much salt. They're really more use for garnishing or making sauces. I guess the fish are so small they dissolve and just add a really strong umami component to any sauce.
