I've been saying for years tinned fish is underrated.
While it begins to disqualify as 'depression era,' I'll throw in some tinned smoked oysters or mussels, roughly chopped. It brings a bit more chew to the party, along with some of that signature bivalve richness. Thanks to my Calabrian grandma for spicy seafood pastas!
I prefer tuna noodle.
I had mixed results with heating canned sardines.. what you get in smell and texture can indeed be very depressing. A can of Tuna on the other hand … π
Depression Era: Make spaghetti with tinned grey fish
Gen-Z era: Whine that pizzas, prosecco and avocados are too expensive.
love ya, but no!
just in time for the oil crisis
Chef John I beg you, put your huge cooking brain towards more cheap foods
Fun fact, you can add as much lemon to this as you want and it only gets delicious-er
As an Italo-phile: No cheese in seafood pasta! As a Greek: Lemon end oregano!
Looks like a winner π
Fishhhhh
Just watch this poverty food be repackaged as haute cuisine and sold for $40 a plate.
Jamie Oliver levels of olive oil in this recipe! π
Depression era or just the 2020's?
Why the hell is talking like that
This sounds great, Chef John. In these times, as fuel hits the stratosphere and our social safety net is under threat, we need such information.
π€’ no thanks
If eating tinned fish is depressing I donβt wanna be happy
watching this while eating my lunch and now I hate my lunch πππ€£
With the way the world is going, Depression-Era recipes will make a comeback real soon.
The vocal pitch shift up and down
Yuck!! Cooked sardines smell & garlic stinking up the whole house! How about adding mashed roasted garlic to the cold sardines, then mix all other ingredients with hot cooked spaghetti! Voila, no stunk up house!
In my country we call this "spaghetti con sardinas", it was a staple during my broke student days π
This would be really good with some pesto. Or some cream with the Parmesan
I don't get the bad reputation canned sardines have among Americans, those things are tasty and nutritious.
Tinned tuna, onion, black pepper, cream and pasta
yummmmmmm
This was great! I am drooling. Thanks!
If you really can't stand sardines substitute canned tuna or kippers. Add lemon juice and some zest. Capers are good. Sun dried tomatoes instead of lemon. This is one of those things I change depending on what I have but the process is basically all the same.
I remove the bones. It's easy to do and for me the texture is so much more enjoyable. I've been eating canned fish my whole life. People should check out the canned mackerel from Japan. So good

So, it's a garlic noodle with a tin of sardines.
Uupppp ddooowwnnnn uuupppp doowwwnnnn trailing voice
Chef, Im halfway. But you seem to be cooking for 20 people. Thatβs an insane amount of olive oil.
Edit: and you added some more. wtf my guy:D ?
