i think this food is more generational than anything. packaging fish in oil and cans was probably done out of convenience for shipping all over the world. now we have fresh everything anytime.
These are packed full of nutrients. Proteins and essential fatty acids (good fat) nothing but omega 3 and omega 6 EFA's.
I once saw an interview of some migrants from Mexico that described their experience crossing the Arizona desert to come to the U.S. They talked about being out in the sun and the elements for days and days finding shelter and water. He packed his backpack full of cans of sardines in oil and gatorade powder. that is all they ate. As soon as they stopped to rest when they absolutely could not go anymore they would eat a can and drink a gatorade mix. He said that combination would give them the strength to keep walking for hours. An instant jolt of energy!
Anyway those jars of tuna are just another hipster rebranding of old timey products like these. I prefer my tuna in a can, in water never oil, but that's just the way I grew up eating it.
On another disgusting note my mother in-law is German and she eats this jarred fish below, it looked so disgusting to me that I actually refused to even try it and I usually try everything at least once. lol
- I love these packages :)
and that rusli is just raw herring in onion juice, ppl in eastern europe eat that with vodka :)sted - but fish has always been canned and put in jars for practical reasons. i.e. it doesn't stink and make you shit through both ends.fadein11
- UK still has shelves full of canned fish. Good stuff, very good for you.fadein11
- hipster trend wouldn't work over here as it's everywhere anyway.fadein11
- Beautiful packaging/ I will give the it a go again I think... My folks and I used to eat these as well (with sliced tomato) back in the day. need the omegas.bklyndroobeki
