  1. I love the additional ideas for canned seafood, some I wouldn't have ever thought about before. I cook with canned seafood often, tuna, salmon, as well as Mackerel for Mackerel cakes and canned oysters for anything from dressing to a cream based oyster stew. I hadn't ever thought of cooking with sardines, even though I love them. I will definitely be experimenting with ideas with sardines. Thanks!

  2. Except for sardines and anchovies you should stick with fresh ingredients which you should be able to get all year long.

    Even the sardines will be better fresh. Canned sardines are OK but fresh sardines are way better.

    Sour cream? Americans! Can never grease it up enough, nor pile on enough salt and sugar to make it inedible for normal tastes.

  3. I love your recipes!! I'm pescatarian so for the clams casino toast instead of bacon I used mushrooms and just skipped the microwave step and it was delicious!!! I subbed a few other ingredients for what I had around the house, feta for parm, no fresh herbs so added green onion for color and it tasted still really great. Definitely not really the same recipe after my changes but I liked the creative idea and it helped mix up my typical lunch meals. I appreciate these videos so much 🙂
