Anyone tried this fried mackerel with black beans? It's better than the fried dace IMO.

It's made in Thailand... so the fish are less likely to be drugged :p

my mom knows a place or two that gets in this stuff through, a lack of a better term, "grey market". I still eat it once in a while at home, and my aunt came over last week when we were eating dinner and she was like "hey, where'd you guys get that?!"

I will ask and see where they still have it in Vancouver.

well to bump this thread back to life, confirmed you can still get it locally, my mom bought it from some china town store

pics or it didn't happen :troll:

Damn that looks good.

it was, compared to the one in a blue can kind from t&t, the fishes in the original kind are much bigger + more juicy than the blue can one. also saltier too + the flavor is just like it was back then :drool

I've never had the stuff before, but as a kid I saw the cans at most of the Asian supermarkets I went to.

If I find that variant that was mentioned or the OG stuff, I should try it. Canned sardines in tomato sauce isn't cutting it anymore.

Bump.... Look what I had for dinner, fresh off the plane from Hong Kong!!!!

It's the original, with the Traditional Chinese and all!

tons in Hong Kong supermarket, i guess they "improved" the levels of toxins in it haha.

got half a dozen cans today. anyone want it? 5 dollars a can.

Nostalgic.

I use to eat this and mix it with rice back in the good old days.

Its soooo bad for you - very oily and salty. I haven't touched this in 10 years lol

You smuggled them back to Vancouver? I thought no meats allowed. Haha

Do you guys usually just eat this with rice? Any other side dishes or something else that goes good win it ?
