Interesting. You must be right about disappointed Costco customers or
I don't think Costco would be selling them online.
I just bought and enjoyed the Costco 5-pack, skinless/boneless
sardines. They were so meaty that I wondered if anyone made
sandwiches with them. I have always eaten the regular sardines packed
in mustard sauce but I've been pretty disappointed in them lately.
I'm making sourdough bread tomorrow and I'm planning on a sardine
sandwich with the fresh bread. I like eating sardines either with a
fork out of the can or chunks spread on a cracker. They are at
towards the bottom of the fishy food chain so there is less mercury
but still all the omega-3 fatty acids.
I had expected that this group would have other preparations for
canned sardines, but only one in that category so far.
