I haven't bought any in 30+ years. Liked them some as a teen, just never really craved them since. They still used a key when I would buy them in the '80s.
I remember the sardines cans with the key, I probably peeled one or two in my day ...I know for certain I've done the key on Spam.Ancient knowledge. Only place I've seen that done is on Steve1989's old ration channel on youtube.
I have never eaten a sardine (as far as I know). I bought some once to feed to a sick cat who had gone off his food, and he wouldn't eat them either. Nor did the healthy cat, so I tossed them in the trash. (The sardines, not the cats.) And that's the full extent of my experience with sardines.
I should probably gain more experience with sardines so I can put that on my resume.

My most memorable sarding eating experience was with my old dog Callie in Colorado. I had driven from Silverton, CO up to some mountains near Crested Butte and it was sprinkling and I pulled off into a clearing by a stream . I grabbed a beer , a can of sardines and some crackers and I had lunch. It was nice. Big meaty sardines in olive oil
I generally get the plain ones but have on occasion gotten ones in mustard or pepper or hot sauce. Quality varies widely between brands - caveat emptor. I find that King Oscar tends to put out a good product.
I buy the ones that have anchovies instead of sardines in them.
I don't think I'd had any until a couple years ago. Figured they would be a easy fix for somebody who barely eats meat. Have a can of these shown in the vid I'm excited to try.

there are no sardines in cookieville.
King catches a good sardine. I bought Brunswick once and it was definitely inferior.
Anchovies were too powerful for me the one time I tried them but I may not have been ready at that point. Bigger savory salt bomb than marmite.
