Although it may not appear so today, for me, eating sardines was not a love at first taste kind of thing (I was more into canned salmon). At first, I thought they were too fishy and too oily. I’m not sure how I was introduced to canned fish steaks with green chilies, but it was these that helped acquire my taste for sardines.
A couple of years ago, I couldn’t find these on store shelves. Although I grew to like the regular sardines, and more recently sardines in tomato chili sauce, I was a bit saddened the green chili variety was no longer available, until now.
I saw them at the market recently and bought several cans.
They still taste the same. They’re best on soda crackers with a bit of butter or mayonnaise, they’re also good with rice too.
Welcome back.
Enjoy.

Wow here in Mississippi, there are plentiful of Beach Cliff sardines, can’t find the tomato base oval cans of sardines. I could remember as a child these sardines sold for as little as .15/can. I am shock to see them selling for more than a dollar a can.
