It’s not that these pairings taste bad, it’s more that it feels like a bit of a waste of sardines (especially if they’re expensive ones), they have no chance of bringing their flavor out next to the overpowering fruity sweetness. If it’s cheap sardines, go crazy I guess

Sardines and honey. One of my favorite combos

You’re asking a fellow who spent last evening experimenting with how to affix canned seafood to a gingerbread house and at one point asked himself, “Well, why not just use ready-made cream cheese frosting? I mean, cream cheese and kippered herring is a quality combo, right?” Short answer: Smoked sprats and cream cheese frosting is not a winner. But canned fruit and sardines, sure, I’m down for that.

Yes! I get extremely concerned looks when I do this, but I enjoy slathering honey on my sardines. I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m on an FBI watchlist with the way people react.

My first reaction was *absolutely not*, but I do like sardines with lemon and that’s also citrus. Maybe I need to give it a try 🤔

Soooooo…..I tested the sardines and peaches (but with Kiwi). I have tried, in no particular order: pineapple jam (yes), strawberry jam (no), raspberry preserves (YES!) peach jam (meh) and fig preserves (definite yes). All on crackers. The texture can be weird, but the flavor goes from intriguing to great (although the strawberry taste was absolutely gag worthy)

I have heard that tinnes fruit and sardines are a great pairing. I’ll definitely never do it because the thought makes me gag. But to those more curious I’ve heard it’s great especially with apricots and peaches I’ve seen.

This is basically a worse Salmon Citrus salad type thing. It’s a good pairing 👍

I’m a little, offput, by your use, of commas 😉 but the pairing is intriguing!
Haven‘t had that specific combination but spicey deens and pineapple on rice is 10/10
Love the canned mandarins btw

It all started with peaches…
