Can't seem to find this brand anywhere anymore...... ideas? This one tastes so good

[Ch28]

So good when mixed with rice but so unhealthy with all the fatty oil in there lol

[MyPresIzBlack]

Plain congee with that is good!

But i saw this at superstore not too long ago!
Imported foods/Oriental aisle!

[kwistol]

wow this brand is so old. i remember i use to eat it back in elementary school in hk. i thought they still sell it at T&T. You should give it a check.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Holy fuck, I remember that good shit!

[lilaznviper]

i remember this stuff. i love it
i think you can find it at chinatown

[ray666]

i remember my mom telling me she read that there were people in china making fake imitation of these. Maybe that's why they are so hard to find now?

[KingDeeCee]

My grandparents said that they got pulled out because they had some substance in them that cause some cancer or disease. Got broadcast on the Chinese news or Chinese newspapers in Vancouver. No idea. I just know that they don't sell these in Chinese supermarkets anymore. If anything, you'll find them in shady markets.

EDIT: Googling this, came with this article: http://www.netnewsasia.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=69&Itemid=67

In short, it's heart-disease in a can. In one meal, you get more salt than your body can safely digest in a month, a concentration of pollutants that can only come from a Chinese river, and several desert-spoons full of oil. It's a heart attack, ulcers and bowel cancer, all in one handy portable package.

[StylinRed]

A lot of my favourite items have been disappearing like precooked Lai Fen?(dont know the english spelling of it) that they sold at t&t

and hot Bean Curd from this taiwanese company that was in a puke orange bottle (cant
remember the name)

both brands are still there but those particular products are gone :/

[skyxx]

My parents bought 2 boxes of those back in the days. We used to restock em!!!! Boy was it good!!!

[hirevtuner]

from Hon's? its back at Osaka, saw it the other day

but with regards to fried dace with black bean sauce, health canada / CFIA has been getting pretty strict in terms of food safety. no doubt you will see less and less of these products.

[orange7]

they were godly, but i haven't had them for many years now

[Ax2-Y]

i was at T&T the other day with my mom and she asked an employee about it.. its gone for good.

[InvisibleSoul]

[Drow]

can't rmb the last time i ate this... i was so young

[LiquidTurbo]

It's a shame really, that this isn't around anymore.

Hell, this shit was so good, when you ate it, you just KNEW the shit eventually would be found to give you cancer or something.

[asian_XL]

am I the only honger who don't eat this shit?

[Ronin]

This stuff is sooooo bad for you but we all loved this stuff as a kid.

[!SG]

save the oil for cooking, its flavored oil from the fish.

try looking at the smaller chinese grocery markets like chong lee.

i rmb u can eat the bone!!

[!SG]

all meats in can form are awesome!

you cant diss spam, thats just good shit! you should try spam n garlic fried rice. who ever invented that knows their shit!

and dace fish w/ black beans in oil. served and mixed with plain white rice, u cant go wrong. its kinda like comfort food!

[StylinRed]

there used to be this canned(they were tinnnny cans) curry chicken or beef that you could buy, used to eat it a lot in HK and it was sold here too but disappeared from the rack about 10yrs ago (at least i cant find it)

it was sooooooooooooooo hot! u'd need like a pot of rice to counteract it

[bcedhk]

im sure spam contains more cancer than fried dace

[!SG]

i donno, we need to hide a can of each somewhere, and see how long the shelf life is. im not talking about the stamped shelf life, im talking the real shelf life

we all know either one of these cans will outlive the human race.

aliens will land on this planet millions of years later, and find a can of spam and a can of dace fish was all our human society could accomplish.

im sure spam contains more cancer than fried dace

[BorLorBao]

I love eating the bones the best.

[asahai69]

[InQ.]

My mom got me a can from a shop in Chinatown somewhere along Pender and Gore to Pender and Main -I don't know the name. You have to ask for it as it is hidden behind the counter. Sells for $3.xx and the production date on my can is Aug. 13, 2009 with an expiry date of Aug. 12, 2012.

[Death2Theft]

Dont know what the big deal is when u can get a big bucket of fresh dace from tnt for less than 5 bux. Buy some dou sei and it's at least 5 times the size of that puny can.

[CP.AR]

Good shit, I requested my aunt's "gung yan" to open a can up for me every night when I was back in HK this past summer.


But AFAIK (or what I heard on the radio years back), Canada banned the importation of it, since it no longer met the revised Canada regulations/requirements for food imports.
It exists elsewhere, just not in Canada.
(if the above has already been mentioned, sorry - I haven't been following this thread until now... it really is EPIC FOOD FOR WINNERS)

[jl123]

The black bean fried dace are ban from export in China, because the high level of malachite green. This product will not be available anywhere in the world (except China and Hong Kong) for at least another 4-5 years.

[BorLorBao]

For the people who use to love this canned black bean dace fish like me, it is now back. They are selling it at Chinatown. I just had a can for dinner tonight.

Edit: It cost about 3 something a can now compared to under a dollar back then. Will try to get picture. Before I posted this I didn't even see the "mission" !SG proposed.

[willystyle]

^ I need confirmation, been thinking about this stuff lately...

[jhxb]

When I went to HK, my aunt gave me a dozen because I mentioned that it was pretty expensive here. I still have about 6 cans haha. So good with steamed rice.

can you be more specific where in chinatown please

[TRDood]

This shit is so good, I still remember what it tasted like. I haven't had it for so many years after the ban.

[Culverin]

can you be more specific where in chinatown please

It's between the place that sells BBQ meat and dried traditional medicines. :rofl:

[ae101]

i my dad stocked up every time he comes back from hk/guangzhou, just got a 12 cans this summer (must eat me very slowly)

[Spectre_Cdn]

There appears to be a replacement for the Dace fish.

I bought a can of fried sardines with black bean at Teng's Supermarket on Victoria, and it tasted 90% similar to the Dace with black beans.

It was in a blue can, with white text IIRC.

[Vansterdam]

lol ^i bought the exact can from the exact location awhile back.

[BaoXu]

I remember the dace is so fried that you can even eat the bones.

now that's GHETTO...

[Spectre_Cdn]

^ You can eat the bones in canned salmon, sardines, mackerel etc.

How is that ghetto? You get more calcium too.

[BorLorBao]

http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af301/retah/IMG_0577-1.jpg
The black bean can is the one on the right hand side with the red chinese characters. The can on the left side is apparently a fried fish with no black bean. I have yet to open the can to verify what the difference is.

http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af301/retah/IMG_0578-1.jpg

If I go to the store again next time I will take a picture of the store and the price of each can.

[cctw]

^meh yah have been eating this for over 15 years...always had plenty supply in vancouver though..my parents never had trouble buying it here...hmmm

yes its best with steamed rice..and you must have the black beans!

[jl123]

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

[death_blossom]

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.

[AVS_Racing]

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

Damn that looks good.

[AVS_Racing]

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

[CorneringArtist]

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.

[CP.AR]

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

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

[hamsup]

I bought some from the Richmond Osaka Supermarket (which is the same company as TnT anyways...)

Wow.. what a blast from the past. It tasted great but I did notice a few things are different.
- Less oil
- Less black beans
- Less fish

the can looks like its the same size but there isnt as much inside. I remember before it was PACKED....
