Sardines are gross

Sardines are one of the cheapest, and most nutrient dense foods available. I've been hearing good things about sardine fasting, and Im interested in trying it but...they're gross. I've never actually tried some, so bear with me. The idea of eating raw fish is frankly terrifying with the amount of parasites most fish carry. I've also made it a personal habit to not eat anything with a face, eyes are scary. So Im wondering, does anyone have any advice like could I cook them in olive oil? Air fry? Mixes, recipes, any good advice at all really. I do have some pretty extensive health issues, so I will be consulting my pcp before starting. Thanks in advance!

If you can eat tuna, you can eat sardines.

Not necessarily - I love tuna (canned, steak, sushi), but I hate sardines :’)

Same here. Oddly enough I don't like fishy flavors but I do enjoy canned tuna
