Sardines (tinned)

20122013

I hope this is the right board, please feel free to relocate it.

I would be interested to know which brand or any (tinned) fish contains the highest level of calcium, please.

In 50 years of eating them I have yet to encounter boneless sardines. Sardines are canned with bones because the bones are soft enough to eat and filleting tiny fish is a right royal pain.

The flip side of that is that all canned sardines contain roughly the same proportion of bones; the ones the sardines had when they were swimming around, no more, no less.

I don’t they would have been deboning them any more than anyone else - far too much faff. Probably just soft.

You can buy boneless sardines, at extra cost, from several brands but the bones dont bother me so I usually don't bother.

at the moment there's a major sardine shortage, only managed to buy 2 tins in about 6 weeks. The three and four legged members of this household are threatening a mutiny, Mackerel and tuna are apparently poor substitutes

My sister dilegently removes skin and bones from canned salmon so presume she would do same with sardine bones.

I just eat the lot
