Olive oil is the best. Virtually stops from growing rancid.

Some of them already come like that. King Oscar offers several prepackaged choices, jalapenos, Mediterranean (they throw a couple of olives on top, red bell pepper, some herbs), vinegar and capers, and a few others (all packed in olive oil, although they offer some in water). Polar brand offers an excellent lightly smoked option. All of these are classified as brisling sardines, all very small and tender, almost like the veal of sardines. Some of the cheaper options are much larger and probably mackerel, generally pretty dry and not packed in olive oil. I avoid those, but they are much cheaper than King Oscar or Polar. Sardine culture is a thing in Europe, esp. Portugal, Spain and Italy. Probably the Adriatic and Baltic countries as well. You can definitely order them in restaurants and they have what seemed like hundreds of tinned options in many shops. A bit overwhelming, but the packaging is creative and colorful and a pleasure to peruse...

I definitely come from the country boy school of eating sardines.

I can't say I enjoyed them when I was younger, definitely was exposed to the cheaper versions. I didn't hate them but certainly didn't seek them out. It was kinda like drinking cheap tequila shots in college, I never dreamed there'd come a day when there was actually excellent tequila that could be enjoyed neat. Same thing kinda happened with sardines...

Organ meat is highly nutritious, much more so than muscle. Look at lions or sharks or any other predator, they immediately go for the organs after a kill. Killer whales are known to kill sharks and only eat the liver, leaving the rest to scavengers. A 20 oz. container of chicken livers is $1.99 all day long, sometimes on sale for 99 cents. You can't find protein any cheaper than that. And it's versatile. I love me some pâté. Admittedly, the free range options are pricier but still in the range of hamburger. Sardines are well-known for their health benefits and quality as a protein source and they're also highly sustainable, a much better and healthier choice than, say, salmon or any of the larger fishes. Plus I never feel guilty eating sardines, they spawn by the billions. Mighty tasty too (the ones I buy, anyway) although not particularly economical in terms of your protein dollar...

Have you ever made a sardine lasagna?
 
I haven't experimented with incorporating sardines in more involved dishes, I only eat them straight from the tin or jar but that sounds interesting..
 
Alton Brown said his favorite fish to eat is sardines. He didn’t specify, but I assumed he was talking about frying fresh sardines, as opposed to the canned variety.
