    Hey Matt, the sardine community really needs a spine tier list to finally end the long debate. For example, beachcliff may have 1 fish per can that tastes rotten, but the spine usually holds quite strong.

    Sturgeon out of the Columbia River dividing Oregon and Washington. They were so big they'd use horse & tackle to pull them out. We call it the poor man's lobster: cut the fish into small chunks, throw it into boiling salted water briefly, then eat with melted butter and lemon. So dang good.

      @@waterlife.1905 I usually default to costco's spanish evoo. Home run every time! I like Terra Delyssa a lot as well. There's a lot of solid brand out there. Make sure it has the certs or buy from places that only sell the real stuff (costco for example) and just buy it - only way to know if you'll like it. It's much more palatable than Italian. Less grassy, pungent, and obnoxious. More fruity, bright, and welcoming. Has a lovely yellow gold color that is hard to take one's eyes off of. Really complements most dishes and makes you want to eat more of it.

      Tara, The Columbia has White Sturgeon, and once supported a commercial fishery. I have had success catching them during the sport catch season. They are an amazing fish to catch and eat. Unfortunately due to pressures the population has not recovered.
      I like half inch steaks steamed with leafy vegetables in a soy/oyster/fish sauce. The closest fish would be halibut? It's firm and white with a mild flavor.
      There are photographs of fish 20 feet long taken commercially.
      They are truly ancients and I wish we had taken better care or their home.
