Sardines. Who likes 'em?
I've been eating sardines since I was six years old.
I prefer the small brisling sardines over larger varieties.
I usually just eat them with saltine crackers.
My favorite brand is King Oscar.
At $2.67 a tin (Wal-Mart), they're more expensive than some other brands, but they're well worth it.

I haven't eaten them in a long time, but I like the sardines in mustard sauce on top of saltine crackers. They are quite tasty.

I like them. Don't eat them too often. One of the best sandwiches I every made was sardines, brie, mustard on crusty french bread.

We split a tin of King Oscar Sardines just a while ago and we have one more tin on the shelf. Love them, same as above - on Saltine crackers.

Those are extremely fishy, taste and smell. Very bitter too. Large chunks of awful dripping with tomato sauce.

Great with butter crackers, like a Ritz or Keebler butter crackers.
But as others have said, I don't eat them that often.

Re: Sardines. Who likes 'em?
I want to try them. The reason is movie related so I'll share. Go check out the imdb forum page for the The 'Burbs. There's a whole contingency on there that celebrates 'Burbs Day. It's like the second or third Saturday in July (the day the film supposedly takes place). They celebrate by doing all the stuff the characters in the film do, including eating sardines and pretzels like the Klopeck's.
