You probably already know this, but careful with canned tuna. Eating it daily for too long (weeks to months, judging from various anecdotes) leads to mercury poisoning. Same with non-canned tuna.
- p1necone 4y agoCanned sardines aren't for everyone, but I believe there is much less of a worry about heavy metal poisoning with those as they're closer to the bottom of the food chain.
- OJFord 4y agoAren't they? (I mean, obviously not everyone, but I assume you mean particularly controversial like Marmite or the fermented fish products of the Nordics?) I (British) always thought 'sardines on toast' was pretty plain, standard fare. A step up from 'beans on toast' perhaps, but no less commonplace.
- deepdriver 4y agoI'm an American who has traveled a fair bit outside the US. I'd never heard of sardines on toast until a British person made a thread about it on the cooking board on 4chan, maybe a year or so ago. I guess it's not too common in North America, at least in the stars-and-stripes part.
- p1necone 4y agoA lot of people seem to think they're a bit gross here (New Zealand). It probably differs by country.
- midislack 4y agoMercury in tuna is an overblown issue actually.
