<<Do you do anything special with the sardines? I have tried them and have limited my use to making a "salad" with mayo and maybe some pickles. been scouring the Net for other recipes since I still have 2 cans and I'm not motivated to eat them. Would rather have tuna salad. The sardines seem a bit strong in flavor for me.>>

Sardines do have a strong taste to them. I grew up eating all kinds of herring and so am used to it, but I know it's a bit much for some people (which is why I prefaced my suggestion with you're probably not going to like it). I like mashing them with mayo/and or mustard and sometimes chopped onion. Lemon juice and pepper are also nice. They're just such healthy little fishies, I do my best to include them in my diet.
