These are pretty much the only things we have around me here in Ontario 🇨🇦. So how do feel about Brunswick? What's your favorite way to eat them?

  1. Basic af. Needs lots of lemon juice and/or hot sauce. I think would be good if added with cream cheese for a dip.

  2. They are alright, but if you see the millionaires brand, try them. I’m on the other side of Canada, and our basic grocery stores are lackin in the deen department for sure.

  3. I eat the hot sauce ones over my sink on the regular.

    Sometimes they go on sale for ~$1 in alberda

  4. Love the Golden Smoked. If they tinkered with the recipe to cut half the salt, I think I’d like it even more, but still.

    I prefer their golden smoked fillets. Very mild tasting and can be easily dressed up with tartar sauce, hot sauce, or my favourite lemon and herb aioli. I bought a box of 18 for about $27 recently, so about $1.50 per tin.

    There ok, lf your in Ontario you should be able to easily find Riga Gold or millionaires lightly smoked. Those two are night and day better than Brunswick

    Brunswick is a solid brand. Their golden smoked herring filets are some of the best smoked herring, and honestly I prefer their sprats to KO for not fully smoked bristling sardines.

  8. They used to be my fav snack… but they were herring fillets. They recently changed to sardines and now they’re tough, and the taste isn’t as good. They’re still ok, but they ruined them when they switched to sardines

    I hate hate hate the hot sauce ones but love the others, especially with some lemon juice or hot sauce on crockatini crackers.

    I like the kippered ones and the golden smoked. The hot sauce ones are also nice. I don’t like the tomato ones, too sweet for my tastes 

  11. Not sure I have had their sardines. I really like their herring, had some yesterday.

  12. IMO they’re the best cheap-ass tinned fish. Owned by bumblebee I think, not sure how they compare to the parent brand.

    I feel really good about them.

    I prefer the Kippered.

    But they’re cheap, tasty, and canned in Canada.

    5 stars!

    I have never found them. Only herring/kipper, which was unspectacular.

  15. HumbleAbbreviations

    It’s fine. I have no complaints.

    i eat them often as it’s what i grew up eating, and they’re often on a good sale

    usually i eat them straight from the can

    I like the kippered and golden smoked ones- my default is in a sandwich on buttered white toast with a generous amount of lemon juice and black pepper (there is a lemon pepper flavoured one, but I dont find the lemon flavour terribly good and it means you’re missing out on the smoke flavour)

    Super low-tier mid, low-tier daily driver. Too much sodium. Low-effort, high output cannery. 3/10. Period.

    I eat the Kippered and smoked fillers a couple times per week. They make a solid lunch with toast, onion, Colemans and aioli

    I tried them and don’t really care for them.  I mean, they are not bad, but I had them a couple of days after trying Titus sardines, and Titus win hands down.

    These are my typical, bread and butter tins. Gold smoked herring is great. The tomato ones remind me of being a kid.
