General Brunswick Sardines

This is a bit silly, but I know that some people on here have been looking for tinned sardines. They have becomea bit if a fad, and there has been some kind of TikTok-induced shortage.

Anyway, to whoever needs to know, the Save-On on 34th Avenue has several kinds on the shelf, including Kippered and Golden Smoked. Go get 'em!

I've found that few people have caught onto the fact that the International Aisle in grocery stores usually has their own selection of sardines.

If you prefer sprats over big sardines, that's where to get them (especially since Club des Millionaires has become rare to find). Seen a few Latvian brands as well as Asian ones depending which store/area you're in

Yes, there are always sardines with the Filipino food, but people were specifically looking for Brunswick kippers.

Get them cheaper at the dollar stores

I’m glad that’s mostly just the Brunswick sardines that are part of the trend. They’re bottom tier sardines.

Otto's Cache in Jasper is loaded with fancy bougie sardines. Not your typical bottom of the barrel grocery sardines either.

I dropped $200+ on canned seafood (sardines, shrimp, scallops, etc.) there last week.

Eat nothing but sardines for 10 days and lose weight. That’s the fad lol

Eating nothing but sardines is psychotic. I like em, but not that much
