King Oscar is catching those really small sardines again. There
starting to show up in Safeway. Cross packed sardine have been hard
to
find. Trader Joes has a particularly good buy on them. TJs has good
deals on wine and cheese as well. It's picnic time here.

IJ responds--yes a good year for small fish, but a $2.29 per can the
King
Oscar can never compare to the Super G--a skinless and boneless
Portuguese sardine packed in olive oil for only 99cents per can if
you buy
them wholesale by the full case lots. I have a friend who imports
containers
of marble and his supplier slips in some wine and a few fish
occasionally.

I tried to share some with Jeff Miller while staying at Sliders Inn
during
last year"s western clave but when I opened the can Jeff

They are catching big ones here on the left coast. Must be more than
they can sell as bait as they are showing up in fish markets. I have
never had them fresh. IF I get back to town in time I will go when
MacCormmick and Schmidt has them on the menue. I have had fresh
anchovies but they were cooked in olive oil, with tomatos, garlic etc.
a carp would have tasted the same. In your worldly travesl have you had
them fresh?

given the identities of the primary participants herein , i predict a
new all-time low reading on the thread stability meter.
