I love sushi. I love poke bowls. I love tuna tartare. We eat a ton of amazing homemade seafood on the regular. Hell, I make a gr tuna melt. But there are times, esp. during Lent, when the humble @McDonalds filet of fish hits the spot and all is right with the world. Yum.

My late dad introduced me to sardines in olive oil with saltines when I was very young. I would wake up. Carson would be on. We’d share a tin or two with Krispy Crackers. One of my favorite memories. I definitely need saltines any time I revisit them. slate.com/life/2024/09/carni…

I Tried the Viral Sardine Fast. I Was Not Prepared for What It Did to My Body.

After just four hours, I started to feel absolutely insane.
