There are guys who don’t eat sea-food?
Fair dinkum! That’s absurd.
I really can’t believe it.
It’s nonsense - every word.

Come on! Grilled Barramundi?
Curried prawns and rice?
Calamari? Mud Crabs?
We’re talking paradise.

They serious? No fish and chips?
Ridiculous! You hear?
Next time they’ll try to tell me
that some guys don’t drink beer.

AArgh! That would be a dry argument and a bit fishy I'd be thinking

I have sardines on toast, does that count.

Sorry Neville but seafood that comes out of a tin is really an impostor.

Definitely fishy when it's sardines or herring Maureen, although if there were a 4x handy to wash away the taste I suppose it could pass as seafood at a pinch.

This is just bait.

Bait??????


Sardines are rich in vitamins and minerals. A small serving of sardines once a day can provide 13% of vitamin B2; roughly one-quarter of niacin, and about 150% of the recommended daily value of vitamin B12. All B vitamins help to support proper nervous system function and are used for energy metabolism, or converting food into energy. Also, sardines are high in the major minerals such as phosphorus, calcium, potassium, and some trace minerals such as iron and selenium. Sardines are also a natural source of marine omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular disease. Recent studies suggest the regular consumption of omega-3 fatty acids reduces the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease and can even boost brain function. These fatty acids may also help lower blood sugar levels a small amount. They are also a good source of vitamin D, calcium, and protein.

Because they are low in the food chain, sardines are very low in contaminants, such as mercury, relative to other fish commonly eaten by humans

No wonder they're such good bait.

As a seafood lover, gotta admit to a penchant for goood sardines (not from a tin) - but like any seafood, fresh is best.

Loved that Wazza . . . beer is great while prepping (and catching) and cooking but I love a good white to accompany the eating (not being racist . . just my preference )

Thanks Marty. Yep I love a white too, especially in summer, autumn, winter, and spring. I have recently returned to Chardonnay and am wondering why I ever abandoned it.

But I don't mind a good red also.
