Dear Gora,

For sure it was made up. The label on the can simply says it is a cooked
fish with some vegetable oil, which is ready to eat. I used to eat such a
canned fish a lot when I was a student. And, never, saw anything like that.
It could be an expired can, so, something else started to grow inside. :)

Maybe it's a new self-opening can?

bbqbull · 01-12-2011, 07:36 PM

Food stuffs are purchased, after I plow snow tomorrow, I will fire up the BGE and try and do myself proud.

landarc · 01-12-2011, 08:28 PM

You gotta admit, it was good for a laugh, I still think it could be a salmon.

Gore · 01-12-2011, 08:49 PM

Despite my friend's response, I wouldn't put it past someone to slip a fish-head into a can. Heck, you're out in the middle of the ocean canning fish for a few months at a time, bored out of your mind. Why not, just for a joke. I agree that it does resemble a salmon head as you say, but I would expect a much less desirable fish to inhabit these cans. I did sample a few of these Russian brands in past years and what I had was not salmon. I believe salmon is desirable enough that it would be separated, and if canned, at least labeled as such. Of course, who knows. Fark, I can't believe there aren't any ichthyologists on this forum who could give us a definite answer. Farkin' ichthyologist lurkers. I know you're reading this!

bigabyte · 01-12-2011, 09:48 PM

I've had kids, I believe I qualify as a fully trained ickyologist.

landarc · 01-12-2011, 10:15 PM

Actually, my brother does lurk here and he is a fish biologist. Based on his expertise, I feel confident in saying without actually talking to him, that the can could actually contain the partial remains of a spawning Chum Salmon, which would actually not be very good tasting and would have a less than salmon-like texture and flavor. This would be because of the decay that the fish is actually undergoing.

I should probably ask him, but, he is younger than I am so I feel confident that I can speak for him.

SmokinAussie · 01-13-2011, 02:11 AM

Yes... it exists. Coming this weekend... to a thread near YOU!

Canned Chinese Soy PORK RIBS!

Be afraid.... be absolutely SH!T SCARED... 'cause I sure AM!

Cheers!

Bill

Ron_L · 01-13-2011, 06:56 AM

Ater seeing some of the canned products pictures so far I can honestly say that this is one throwdown where I am glad that i can't taste the results!

So no one here can "shut you the fark up" and yet your brother doesn't utter a sound???? bizarre.
