I recently placed a large order tuna belly and various deenz from Donostia foods which I just recieved. The tuna belly came in a nice wooden box. I have a few ideas of how I want to pair the sardines in escebeche but unsure what I want to do with the tuna belly. Definitely eating one straight from the can. Other high end stuff i got:
Güeyu Mar - chargrilled sardines
Fangst - Norwegian smoked trout with lemon
Hurricane Corerra - Portuguese trout smoked over alder

all this fart sniffing when you could have just bought or caught a fresh fish filet

Lol people are allowed to have hobbies they enjoy you silly biritish cigarette. Im sorry if you cannot afford nice things

>>21472284
Oooh, I want to see what this looks like. I've only seen the cheap shit.

>>21472284
How much was this? I've paid 20 a can for smoked salmon, so I might be dumb enough to fall for canned tuna belly.

>>21472565
Not OP but they have a website. That box is $110.

>>21472242 (OP)
Deenz nuts! LMFAO

>>21472562
I cracked open a can of tuna belly. It was extremely soft, and melts in your mouth making chewing an option if you please. Oddly I want to pair it with a cracker, cream cheese and apricot jam
>>21472574
Yep. They included a tote bag for free and a thank you card

Anyone else have a nice stash?

>>21472821
If I was going to spring on fish it wouldn't be fucking canned fillets but more power to you.

>>21473451
If you check the website and the fucking blogpost on the "About" page, it potentially explains a lot about the homosexual factors involved here.

Which is not to say I'm not 'mirin those 'chovies, DAAAAAMN son im finna order summa dose chovies

>If you check the website and the fucking blogpost on the "About" page
I have no interest in high-end canned fish so I don't care how gay or not the canning process is or what OP does with those fillets in the privacy of his hovel.

>>21473451
What would you get instead. Well preserved tin fish is second only to fresh catch imo
>>21473473
Spaniards are pretentious fag's but their food is good

>>21473955
I don't know where you live but I live on a coastline where fresh catch is easily accessible. If you live far inland... then I still wouldn't be paying out the ass for tinned fish honestly. Guess I'm just spoiled when it comes to fish but at that general price point I'd rather shop online for salmon caviar and have some creme fraiche and crostinis made up for when it arrives.

>boutique deenz
i kneel

>>21473981
You should try branching out into moren l luxury tin fish products if you like caviar you may find yourself pleasantly surprised
>>21473968
Jealousy is reering
>>21473987
Thanks fren

>>21474005
I'll give it a try when I get around to it then

>>21472242 (OP)

>>21472284
rorate your picture fag

a fish is a fish

>>21473968
The deenz snobs call it "tinned fish" so it doesn't sound as ghetto as it actually is.

>>21474088
how dare you

>>21474076
OP here. RTG is really charging $100 for $50/60 worth of average tins. Best is the fangst trout, d'arvore sardines and nuri
>>21474010
I hope so! There are plenty of things to do with them
>>21474084
Yes I know. Thousand apologies
>>21474091
Chicken of sea is ghetto not these cans

>>21474174
It's ghetto, and you're paying out the ass for it. lol
I like deenz btw.

fish in a can is now a luxury item and everyone is going to be unemployed by, and hunted by, a nazi AI that calls itself mecha-hitler that is controlled by the world's richest man. welcome to the future sci fi hell we never thought we'd see

>>21472284
>people are allowed to have hobbies
Eating canned food isn't a hobby, fat ass.

>>21474195
you got the whole board laughing with that one

>>21474189
>ghetto
You're entitled to your opinion however we clearly differ in our usage and definition of the word kek
>>21474195
You voted for it.

>>21474212
Canned fish is about as ghetto as boxed mac and cheese.

>>21473440
Just don't be poor

>>21474247
Tried the oritz ventresca but I like Donostias more as of now. Is that Güeyu Mar the tuna neck? Have you had thr needle sardines (garfish) by ramon pena?

>>21474270
It's gueyu mar ventresca

>>21474293
Oh I see now. I went to Mercado Central the other day and got a lot of what you have. Excited to try the sardine tails

>>21472821
That actually looks really good.
You've piqued my interest op. I haven't had tuna in ages. And I hate the dirt cheap stuff that is like eating fishy dirt.
I've tried to go /deenz/ but I'm a little squeamish about them. Any tips?

>>21475561
Thanks for looking. You should give ventresca a try if you can find it. With deenz I would start with boneless and skinless filets in tomato sauce then try then in evo and work your way up to regular ones. They go well on crackers or with mozz/tomato/olives anything pickled too

>>21472242 (OP)
Why would you buy gourmet sardines They come from the exact same microplastic blasted waters and are caught by the same chinkships as the Beach Cliff ones. All you did was pay for a tiny vial of fish ovary-infused olive oil.

>>21475599
I always buy the best canned sardines I can, but acting like it's an internet flex is bleak as fuck, I don't like this timeline

>>21475585
Roger that.
Thanks for the tips.

>>21472242 (OP)
my mom makes this deenz recipe
>remove spines
>remove scales
>marinate for 6 h minimum a day preferred in vinegar, oregano and garlic
>then flour and deep fry

>>21472242 (OP)
tuna and deenz
escalibada, google it

tuna
a nice salad
>good bite sized chunks of tuna
>fresh and crispy lettuce
>tomato sliced in chunks
>fresh strips of onion
>some toasty or fried bread crumbs kind of like in cesar salad
>some boneless olives
>salt, olive oil and vinegar to taste

>>21475630
This is for fresh sardinnes, not preserves ones

>>21475630
this sounds quite tasty, the prep seems a bit annoying spining and scaling a bunch of sardines though

>>21475653
yes you usually do that part by telling the fish lady at the store to do it for you, she's pro, but will probs charge you extra for it

>>21475585
Not OP. They aren't from the same waters and they aren't caught by the same ships. Your oversimplification makes you look retarded
>>21475612
What's wrong with the timeline is rampant insecurity the kind you display by thinking of everything is a 'flex' in your weird mind causing you to get offended. The thread is specifically about high end fish kek

>>21472242 (OP)
This has to be those repackaged and sold for high price things. lol.
No such thing as high end sardines lmfao.

>>21474247
The fish in canned fish is still cheap though

And I think China took over the caviar industry too.

>>21477057
This is not high end fish though lol
