Hi Lou, I have never done sardines myself, but if I am not mistaken, I think they are cleaned, added to bottles with oil and aromatics, and pressure cooked for a while until the sardines are cooked, the bones essentially soft or near dissolved and you have the preserved sardines… But there could be other ways…

Bonjour MM, Can I follow the same procedure with sardines? There are small sardines available these days in the market and I wanted a sure way to make them? Can you help me?

Ria, I usually buy my fennel from two sources, either growers in Tagaytay who deliver through a consolidator, or more readily, at the Saturday market at FTI from a lady who sometimes stocks it from the Mt. Province. You can also buy it easily but expensively from Rustan’s grocery or Santis delicatessen, most often imported. They also have it at S&R every so often.

Hi! Great recipe :) Sorry to bother you, just need to know – where were you able to buy fennel in Manila?

Tried to look for some in grocery shops (South area) but couldn’t find any. Hope you could help, thanks!

I also love canned tuna and we do not mind paying premium for good ones (nor do we think to much about the mercury, hihihi). I’d love to try this!

I will also love, always and forever, tunafish sandwich!! Such a part of my childhood :) My mom would make the tuna spread herself (no pickle please!) and now I do the same…

I’m also gonna try this in my kitchen. I want something that’s more “flaky” similar to the texture of canned tunas you can buy in stores. Eating tuna reminds me of high school days too.

If you haven’t yet, do try the Ortiz Ventresca de Atun from Terry’s. Canned tuna like we know it but also like we don’t know it. Level up, really.

In my younger days, I used to work for a food manufacturer. Our tuna plants were the first in Gen San, and also the first in Manado Indonesia. Unfortunately, we used to pack under buyers’ brands, ie chicken of the seas etc. Canned tuna used to be a major export of the Philippines.
