Yes, sardines can taste gourmet.

Tuna
Stick with skipjack and albacore. Wild Planet brand is sustainably pole-and-line-caught.
More Can-Do's: Mix it into a salad of chard and white beans; use it for fish tacos; stuff it in tomatoes.

Salmon
Look for sockeye or the milder pink variety. The small pin bones are often cooked with the fish, adding extra calcium.
More Can-Do's: Make burgers or fish cakes; put it in a creamy chowder; try it smoked—Patagonia sells pouches that are perfect for hiking and camping.

Sardines
These tiny fish have a big, bold taste and are dense with omega-3 oils. Bela brand offers them smoked in different flavors.
More Can-Do's: Add to your next antipasto platter; top crostini; grill and eat them whole.

Anchovies
Small and salty, they're not just for Caesar dressing—they're also distilled into Asian fish sauce.
More Can-Do's: Toss on puttanesca; stir into beef stew; wrap around olives.
