Parent context: I’ve looked into canned salmon with it being slightly more expensive.. it’s apparently way lower in mercury than tuna?

Reply: Oof maybe it’s worth swapping taste for health benefits then aha I’ve only tried sardines once and almost puked but that was many years ago but I’ll give them a try.
