I agree disagree. Fresh sardines are great as is, particularly the
kind of quality you find in a sushi bar. Canned sardines, are
radically different from that.

That said, I quality canned sardines as well. The French have canned
sardines with all kinds of interesting flavors and they can them very
rapidly after catching them. I've had a few of those and they were
great.

In Little Saigon nearby almost every place that has banh mi sandwiches
offers a sardine version, and many of their display boards show an
opened can of sardines to indicate that particular variety.
