What are your favorite kinds of canned fish? I have been eating different kinds of canned fish, most commonly sardines, and I like eating them. What are your favorite kinds? So far my favorite kind is Nuri sardines in tomato sauce (from Portugal where the dogma of the faith will always be preserved). What do you like? I would like to try something new. Something to think about, canned fish, which is yummy, rather than how we are all about to be rounded up and thrown in camps.
