Hype-iest Sardines Ever 

If I am paying $44 for a can of Sardines ,they better come with a coupon for 30 free cans of Sardines.

What a privilege to be here

Idk why i find it hilarious that RU-vid offers such specific niche content creators. I would never have expected to stumble across a canned fish specialist.

my jaw dropped when you said they were skinless and boneless for $44 and then I actually laughed out loud at the edible gold flakes

This channel proves that the content a creator makes and even the topic is entirely secondary to the passion and love they put into their videos. I don't care about sardine but he does and I fix wit that.

I want to imagine these fish were the most hoity toity fish. Which demanded to be coffined in an embossed tin filled with oil of fillet anointment, and laced with gold flakes.

I'm glad Matt took the hit for these sardines before any of the rest of us tried it.

Someone should sell a tin of JUST skin and bones.

This is peak 2010's RU-vid content. Just a dude that is extremely passionate about something, sharing it with the world. Not in it for fame, money, or anything other than oily little sardines. Pure gold. Curious, if you had to estimate, how many sardines have you eaten in your life? Thanks.

Matthew is the James Hoffman of sardines with the look of Mark Rebillet. Quite happy I found this strange and relaxing subculture. I dont even like fish 😂

Gold flakes is a license to make food more expensive in restaurants, and cheap as heck to buy on your own.

For $44 I want the skin and the bones, maybe even double skin and bones!

Some of the best I ever had were "polar" brand, smoked, in olive oil. A while back they were on sale for a buck a can. Went home, ate them, and went back and bought all they had left.

guys I want to make an announcement. Found this outstanding content earlier this week... picked up some deens the other day and can say I officially lost my virginidine to a can of KOs just a moment ago. This is truly a huge step, I am on the verge of tears

Cutting through all the hype and getting to the spine ( or lack there of) of the issue

This man has opened my eyes to the fascinating and delicious world of tinned seafood, amazing gem of a channel.

thankful to youtube for delivering this shining ingot to my homepage. i hadn't been consuming much canned fish content, at least online, and your presentation style and clear love for shelf-stable-seafood won me over thoroughly. working through the backlog and rotating stacks of cans in my mind.

How did I end up here from an engineering guy video. From the amazing engineering of a can, to who the fuck buys 44 dollar sardines. Subscribed.

I was literally thinking, 'He better make a Lebowski reference', and BOOM! You never disappoint my dude.

This dude is holding my life together rn

Your excitement for something as simple as canned fish is contagious lol

He looks like the type of guy who has really good pencils. Like $5 a pop and they sharpen really well, great earser, high quality graphite and they have a faint woody smell.

Hey man, recently got into your content (and as a result back into canned fish.) Slowly working through your backlog of content but stopped in here to give you some engagement. Love your style and your personality, thanks for what you do.

Yeah I just can't imagine how a sardine could be THAT much better than they already are. Maybe like a fatty sort of wagyu sardine, perfectly spiced? Otherwise idk how they could make lavish extravagant oppulent sardines.

How did this end up in my feed? there is an entire channel to canned fish?!!?!? wild. you do you man.

That's more than I paid for my 1st car.

i eat canned fish at least twice a week and just found this channel, amazing, thank you

I tried sardines today for the first time in my life because of your channel. I love them, and I think me and my girlfriend found a new hobby. We got them from trader joes, and ate them while we watched your review of trader joes canned fish (including the two specific ones we got). Thank you for the content and expanding my horizons, I never thought I'd be eating sardines out of a can lol. Looking forward to your new videos. In the meantime, I'll continue sifting through the old ones!

I’ve been a fan of canned fish ever since I was a kid (I’m pushing 50 as I write this). 🙃 Anyway, I just wanted to say that I’m so glad I found this channel recently! The content is light, fun and often makes me laugh, and most importantly, it has exposed me to new types and brands of canned fish! So my hat’s off to you Matt, thanks for the entertaining reviews, you have yet another fan. 🐟🐟🐟

What are we even spending here?

I can’t explain why, but this channel brings me so much comfort. ❤ Thank you.

What a wholesome human and channel. No idea how I wound up here, but I'm glad I did!

$44!! I feel guilty paying for paying $33+ for three cans of Fishwife (though I do love the slow smoked Mackerel). Thanks for taking the bullet.

I have tried Sardines for the first time after finding this channel, and I have to say, I understand everything now. Now I will also attempt to conquer the world of canned fish

I just got some boneless butterflied brunswick sardines in olive oil today. I loved them, just delicious. I'm ready to go out and try some more varieties, thanks to you! Great videos man.

i gotta say that i have tried many tins of sardines some very expensive .some you recommended on this channel. i gotta say i really like fish wife pepper sardines. the whole foods near were i live carries them. very firm creamy texture.i like....peace out

I just found this channel and it's my favorite PLEASE POST MORE WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING HEREEEEEEEE???????????????

I binged on all of your videos (it took a few days) and tried my first can of Nuri, the spicy one, yesterday. DELISH! Thanks for a new video.

This man is truly the Jeff Goldblum of canned seafood RU-vid react videos, and I love it

What am I doing with my life? It's 3:30AM and I'm binging videos of a man reviewing canned sardines. I simply can't look away, curse you sardine man; curse you and your decent content. Post more...

A comprehensive list of Sardines (Pilchards) that don't have scales would be awesome. Nuri is the standard for a reason.

Very interesting stuff! Lovely video from you as always! I always love watching you eat and review fish haha!

i'm taking a nutrition class and decided i needed some more omega-3 in my diet. after researching the fishes i bought my first tin of dines. your videos started popping up on my feed shortly after. i grinded through all of them so thanks for the good content

i love the high quality and personality you have with these sardine review videos! keep up the good work!

I wonder how much better a freshly cooked sardine would be in comparison. Expensive canned food is kind of an oxymoron. Maybe there's an expensive canned corned beef too or canned tomatoes.

The youtube algorithm finally showed me new content I want. I have no idea how I ended up here, but it's interesting. I needed this today

I just joined this channel. And I like your style. You should do end of the year videos starting this year where you tell us your best recommendations at different price levels and also in different categories. With maybe some fun facts or highlights or whatever. I'm gonna be honest I don't think I'm gonna keep watching all your videos but I think that would be popular.

Just came across your channel today and have become a subscriber and a fan. Love your methodology and look forward to more videos.

Canned fish channel. What a time to be alive. Subscribed 😋👍

Matthew, how am I supposed to explain being a fan of your channel to my family without being labelled certifiable

Just ate my first can of sardines, hot sauce really leveled it up :)

youtube brought me here youre a strange guy... but you know what? i respect it. canned fish channel... thats a new one.

I can get a damn good ribeye steak for that price. I'll pass.

This youtube channel is exemplative of why i still love this platform. so fucking great dude keep up the work

Not how I expected my day to go, but I found your channel and really want to try sardines (and kippers) now, never had or even thought of having canned fish before

I haven't watched your videos for awhile, I remember when you started and had below 10 k subscribers, I am so glad that your channel is growing and you still doing the videos

I love the cozy feeling i get when eating fish out of a can. I like to imagine I'm that kid from jurassic park 3 who survived inside the wreckage of the airplane eating canned food. Or just some bunker dweller, afraid of what lurks on the surface. And at a time of stress, confusion, and desperation, the only comfort I find is in my can of fish. The fish gives me strength for today. The can gives me hope for tomorrow.

just recently discovered your channel and i am HOOKED

I just wanted to say that I came here for the sardine content but also seeing you’re into synths kept me here. It’s nice getting peeks of your gear in the background.

I don't mind bones, but I can't do scales.

I am so glad that I found ur channel at like 2 in the morning randomly scrolling

I do not have the words to describe how much i enjoy this

How the hell did i end up here with the rest of you, But boy I love this channel and love his groovy tunes in the background.

What a banger idea for a channel lmao

My favorite video so far, I laughed so hard at the intro 😂😂

Talk about the life style of the rich and famous, $44 for a can of sardines. You made it!

I love anchovies, sardines are a bit hardcore for me but these videos make my mouth water and our main man is so efing hilarious!

Matt, your goofy humor is epic!

Just tried sardines for the first time today. Skinless and boneless, but I have another can with them ready to go. (King Oscar in olive oil btw) Thank you for introducing me to a delicious fish.

Just call em a rip off.

ROFL! That cut to big labowsky was perfect! Funniest scene in the movie

I bought some of these for a gift from the Azores. I think that's really what they are is a fancy gift item they aren't something people are eating everyday in Portugal. * the shop where they were all stocked on shelves was absolutely gorgeous btw

After going on a binge of your channel I just bought my two first cans, King Oscar and then some generic in tomato sauce as a gateway from tomao-makrill :D

I don't even like canned fish, I'm just so taken by thia dude's commitment to his oddly specific hobby.

i just stumbled on your channel today and idk i’m kinda in love with you

Dude these videos are awesome, and for some reason hilarious. I love canned sardines idk how I stumbled across these vids but I’m glad I did

RU-vid knew I've been thinking about trying sardines for the first time and now i have to sub to this guy

I am learning much. For one, this slippery snack is obviously better consumed with chopsticks! I now have a purpose. I can’t wait to buy a can tomorrow in celebration. Thank you master.

I like how it zoomed in on your face when you said idiots 😂

Why man, that intro and editing were awesome! Your production is definitely getting better and better

This is the most entertaining youtube channel I have ever found.

Matt, your channel is one of the best that I’ve stumbled upon. What am I even doing here? I don’t know, but I do know that you’ve singlehandedly made me a ‘dine lover. I’ve only tried King Oscar dines so far, but I’m excited to swim deeper into the exciting world of tinned fish with you as my guide.

King Oscar’s and some Espinaler sauce on the way… I’ve always loved Sardines - but good on you for introducing me to Espinaler! Keep on weirding

I know he’s just a marketing plant for big sardine. But I’m still inspired to try new things and sardines is now one of them.

That Big Lebowski snippet made me laugh hard when it cut back and it WASN'T what it cuts back to in the actual movie.

I remember being flabbergasted at the myriad flavors of canned tuna available in New Zealand. Highly recommend you get your hands on some of theirs. Pesto was exceptional.

this channel is a true gem, thank you Matt

When i saw the Goldflakes - my soul left my body. Thats the type of food people buy with dads hard earned money lol.

I do enjoy your canned fish take on economics. I agree with that, you can only prepare a fish so greatly, and not 40 dollar great... ever.

Was randomly recommended your channel by the algorithm. Now this is some real content.

So glad you reviewed these.. i just saw a news blurb about how sardine consumption is on the rise. They focused on a new high end sardine shop that opened in Chicago. I immediately was curious but also wondered if they are better. Now I know.

The Lebowski reference was a hoot! Jeffrey never should've ventured into Jackie Treehorn's quiet beach community!

Very happy memories with my Nanny teaching me the art of ‘pencilling’ coins when we went to visit the family back in the day. OP cheap and harmless pass time.

Why is there a RU-vid channel dedicated to canned fish and how did RU-vid know that I needed it

If I ever came into a ridiculous amount of money, I would need these for a prank. I'd rent an air conditioned storage unit somewhere in a busy city and have it paid for 20 years. Inside this unit I would place a single old-fashioned bedside table in the very center of the room, and on that I will set a briefcase. Inside the briefcase will be a dozen of these tins, and a carefully concealed lead plate to give the whole thing some gold-like heft. After 20 years, the clock starts ticking on the funniest episode of storage wars you've ever seen.

I've never ate a Sardine, never even touched one. I probably never will. But man I can watch these videos all day. Matthew, can make anything interesting. I'm baffled this channel isn't massive. This is Grade A content. And it's not always about the content, a lot of the time it's about the creator. You got "IT" Matthew, so please keep up the great work man.

Think an ultimate canned fish tier list could happen? I need to know the GOATs!

Mr Carlson, I got the courage to go to the grocery store and buy myself a can of olive oil sardines because of you. It wasn't very flavorful and had a pretty grainy texture. I put them on garlic and herb flavored water crackers. I unfortunately wasn't able to finish the can. Before throwing away the last 4-5 poor fishes, I cracked open one out of curiosity. There was a small delicate spine inside, I ripped it out and ate it because I read online it was a good source of calcium. I didn't feel more powerful after eating it, but I think that's where the grainy texture came from. Unfortunately I will not be joining the sardines club.

Great video as always, Mateo! I think most people here in the comments will be giving these a miss.

4:20 am and the RU-vid algorithm has brought me another weird yet excellent channel I never would of thought about... BUT of course it exist on the interwebs!!! I like to CRONCH the bones btw 😂
