Don't like boney fish. Salmon on the other hand is nice...but comes with other concerns (environmental, heavy metals etc).

Is there something in between?




Some canned sardines are already de-boned, and for most bone-in canned sardines, you can just halve each one length-wise and pull out the spine in one piece. The bones are also totally edible themselves, albeit off-puttingly crunchy to some people.


If you're looking for a specific type of salmon my understanding is that wild Alaskan salmon has very low levels of mercury and the fisheries are healthy. I'm not sure where you are but it's widely available in the United States.


FWIW, It's OK to eat the bones in canned sardines.


The bones in canned sardines are actually very good for you, that's where all the calcium is.


Domesticated salmon is not so healthy anyway, Omega-3 is coming from ocean algae. Not that Omega-3 is reproducibly shown to be healthy.


Sardine or mackerel balls. Just remove the spine add an egg, some lemon juice and spices and boom, no bones and still delicious.


Thank you for this idea!
