I ALWAYS use my tin oils SOMEHOW if possible. Am I in the minority? Am I missing other ways to use the oil I paid for :)

(1-6) Tin oil curry dressing
(7-14) An easy chimichurri with tuna jar oil
(15-17) I add extra tin oils to prepared sauces too
———————————————
I’m a HUGE fan of using fish tin oils. It appeals to the budget-cook in me. I paid for that oil, I’m going ti find a way to use it.
I (almost) always pour off the oil and taste that first – 🌻 and cottonseed oils excepted. Those go straight into the trash.
If I decide to use the oil separately: I match the use to how much I want to taste the oil or how big the oil’s flavor is:
— An aioli for amazing oil, or a tapenade with olives, onion, tomato and fresh herbs
— a compound butter with oil, butter, parsley, and a little garlic for a good oil,
— a Rice vinegar-based vinaigrette dressing for pretty good oil.
— To sauté with if making a hot tinned fish dish or a condiment for later
One way to use the tin oil in a dish: Make a tin oil pasta dish with a few fresh tomatoes and some parsley, basil and garlic, or you could make a quick cream or white wine sauce with some garlic, Parmesan, and herbs. Can be a vegetarian, or can add tinned fish or other protein: bacon, pork, fresh seafood – anything!
Always taste your ingredient first, THEN you can decide how to highlight it 🙂
Can always make a mayo with lemon juice or vinegar and some mustard and garlic to emulsify!

Good stuff just goes on the bread with the fish. Extra goes on the bread alone (generally a nice crispy baguette). But I like your style

Could you use the oil to make a caesar dressing? Or is it not fishy enough?

I pour it on my dog’s kibble. 🤷♀️

I’m always a bit worried they won’t last, so only if I think something for the next day.

That chimichurri looks really good!

If I can ever resist slurping it out of the can like a barbarian, I’ll have to give that pesto/chimichuri a shot.

If I’m eating tuna in oil I’ll just add the oil to whatever I’m making with it and when you stir the dry tuna absorbs most of it. For sardines in oil if I’m not gonna use it I’ll load the tin up with stale bread, or grain, or chicken feed and give it to the chickens to clean out.

I’ve been using it to fry some garlic and then tossing it in pasta with grated Parmesan and then throwing the sardines in on top. Makes the whole house smell like sardines though

Emm, I just dunk bread in the oil.

I put some in my Pan Bagnet sandwiches. Sometimes salad dressing. But usually straight from the tin until my chin is shiny.

SO WISE! Taught me something new today.
Anyone else just drink it?
I always just dump the oil in my backyard
