      Hi Heather and Winston, I’m like you I can’t justify paying more for them if the Polar tastes about the same. I think about the wood Smoke would have to do with the type of wood. I assume that probably a lot use Hickory wood and possibly Apple wood to smoke it with. A lot of it would also the amount of time that they smoke it. I’m not sure what type I’ll eat this weekend. I might have some kippers.Enjoy my Friend……

      You may consider a water sardine product, drained,; and a addition of capers and a bit of the brine from the can. Very nice combo. Much like a lot of the old uses of this crazy good fish.

    I'm 83, and I like your tattoos! I/m enjoying your channel as well - I love sardines, and have been eating a couple of cans a day because I'm temporarily sans teeth. My old dentures got worn down and I'm having them replaced, so I've had to go a bit over a week without them. But these sardines are a lifesaver! I haven't tried them with pork rinds yet, but another trip to the market will correct that. The brand selection isn't very expansive here, so I may order a few cans from Amazon or one of the other mailorder places. But thanks for all the great tips on what's available - I find myself agreeing with you right down the line. One thing I DON'T like is the ones packed in water - they just don't seem quite right to me.

    I had a good friend from Skagway, and I asked him about the women availability in Alaska and what are the chances of finding the right one. And he said "in Alaska, the odds are good, but the goods are odd." Lol. He just may be on to something.

    I love what a gentleman Winston is! A real sweety! And thanks to the tatted Mama who has a wonderful attitude and clearly enjoys what she is doing. I love the way your face lights up when you taste a sardine you love! BTW, I made King Oscar Mackeral tacos this evening. Thanks for the heads up on the mackeral. Delish right out of the can and great in tacos! And just got my order of Flower sardines. Looking forward to them. I used to eat sardines about once or twice per month but now I find myself enjoying them much more often. I especially like them in recipes. You've got me addicted. :) The best canned fish bar NONE is smoked Finnish Muikku (also called Vendace). A friend of mine gets them once in awhile from friends of his in Finland and I spent 4 months in Finland and brought backs some cans. Long gone though. But best of all, while I was in Finland some friends took me to a smoked fish shop and I bought a kilo of fresh smoked muikku. It was like I died and gone to heaven! I also bought some canned muikku at a grocery when I was in Finland but it was just not the same. The best canned stuff comes straight from the cannery. For many years now I've tried to order this online but no luck. I'm gonna keep trying though. It is like no canned fish I have ever had. Light, delicate, and delicious! It's a small, freshwater whitefiish.

    I found your channel just recently. You've opened my eyes to all sorts of possibilities. I've never thought of cooking sardines, and air fried with eggs for breakfast sounds quite tasty. As to the tats, I'm more interested in the quality of the art. I'd love to see the subject matter on your sleeve. I complimented a waitress once in a pizza joint on what was visible on her chest, and she was happy to expose what she could as she smiled happily that I admired the work. As to your beauty, with all due respect, this 75 year old guy still recognizes a real looker when he sees one. I love long hair and every bit of how you present yourself. Yours is a unique channel with a unique story to tell. Well done!

    Nice review, I like your style, don't let anyone bother you.........Both cans are from Latvia, the Polar ones are for the US market, so less smoked and they use a mix of pine wood & beech wood......The Riga cans are for the Eastern European market including Russia, so they are smoked with pine wood only and they leave the Sprats longer in the smoker, that's the way the people over there like it, a stronger smoke taste and also a bit dryer.........The cans for the Rigas are made like a tank, that is to make them more resistant to the weather extremes in those countries. I am sure you know all about it in AK.....The Polar cans would explode if they freeze.......One have to think that in Eastern Europe, the conditions are a lot more primitive than in the USA and people are rougher.......I found those Riga in a little town in Estonia, ALL were banged up, but none were leaking....hence the "tank cans".....They also cost only $0.80 each............As for the price: Riga = $3.00 each for 5.64 oz....and Polar = $2.46 each for only 4.24 oz.......so the Polar is more expensive by $0.27..............As for the oil: olive oil taste better....and canola oil = 0 taste.....both are healthy.........Everything else is a matter of taste.......As for your "I am a giant" comment, I know all about, I am 6.9 ft myself.......... ...Stay warm.........😘😍
