Sardines used to be my last choice when it came to fish. But now I force myself to eat them as they are rich in Omega 3 that which keeps my cholesterol in check. Strangely they too have a price just like any other exotic fish simply because they are in demand. They were sold in heaps but now they are counted. Sardines are tasty but one cannot eat them that frequently just like any other food item but I have no choice. Sardines can be cooked in several ways.I fry them, and there is a nice recipe where they are pressure cooked. Strangely the fish stays firm. We also have sardines in curry which goes well with rice. What is your way of controlling your cholesterol?

@allknowing The muscle pains can be taken care of with CoQ-10, statins deplete your CoQ-10 and it cause the muscle issues, I have it too

The doc prescribed a pill not because my cholesterol is very high, but for prevention because of my health problems.

I am relying on food rather than pills. I was taking pills but not any more. I also take cod liver capsules. Nuts too are in my diet

@allknowing I see. When I eat sardines they are the "Riga Style" in tins.

They are tasty but one cannot eat them regularly and that is done only from the health point of view

Sardines are the best among fish.If we have sardines,we won't get thyroid. We make gravy ,and fry sardines. It is very tasty.

A well-balanced diet, my friend. I usually have meat and matches it with veggies or fruits. We don't have abundant sardines like this in the public market. I think it is nice to fry them and mix with scrambled eggs and tomatoes.

I don't do anything about my cholesterol. I don't even know what it is. Maybe one day I'll get it checked.

My cholesterol is slightly higher than normal when I had my blood tested ( many months ago) My doctor did not prescribe any meds. I just takecare of my diet, avoid fatty, oily foods. Sardines are a rich source of omega fatty acids. But I seldom eat them fresh. The sardines I ate are the tinned ones.
