While I'm sure fresh-frozen sardines might be better than canned, do

you think that fresh is always better? I mean, the fact that canned

sardines and salmon are full of bones is a major benefit that won't be

found with most fresh seafood as most people prepare them. I think

bones should basically be considered an independent food group, and

for most people the difference between canned and fresh seafood can

mean the difference between consuming significant quantities of bone

and not doing so. So I suspect that many of the popular cases of

canned are actually better than many of the popular cases of wild and

fresh.

Has anyone ever analyzed the nutritional value of the canned bones?

Someone I know had a father who invented the long sought after process

so a process is followed which may deplete nutrition or incorporate

something undesirable. I would like to buy canned wild salmon (heaps of

money) but worry about such things.

I'm glad you say this, because canned sardines and kippers and anchovies are

one of my major snacks.

Huh? Since when are the two in conflict with respect to the choice between

canned fish and spam?

I'm sure you do, and I'm sure that fresh sardines are better than

canned, but most people will not eat fresh sardines. I'm thinking of

fish fillets versus canned fish with bones. That's all. I think the

canned with bones would be nutritionally superior.

But I just saw today that the fresh sardines have the heads! I've

always wondered if I could get canned sardines with the heads still

on. The heads must be extremely nutritious. But I didn't buy any,

because they were huge. If they were small like the ones in the can,

I would have tried them. But the big ones were intimidating.

I have seen the big ones with heads at Whole Foods, but not to often.

I also, to my great surprise, found a sardine dish on the menu at a

very nice restaurant here in Seattle. Of course I ordered them and

they turned out to be medium sized with the heads/bones and quite

delicious.

very moment into a love so certain that I never doubted anything about

it, other than the improbability that she would put up with me.

Things worked out. Glory to God!
