curiosity in the ethic aisle

Are dried sardines a big thing in Central and South
America?

Don't know if they're sardines, but in some parts of Brasil,
they use little dried fishes as a sort of seasoning for
black beans.

I found it was interesting at first but it quickly got
overpowering, in a monotonous way.

The gf and I had an "WTF is this for?" yesterday at the
market. In the section of Central and South American
products, we saw a bag af dehydrated sardines,. Out of
curiosity we got a bag because we figured it would be good
broken up in salads. Question: Are dried sardines a big
thing in Central and South America? Or dd some processing
company see a couple of gringas coming??

A market we went to a couple of years ago in Tijuana had
loads of different dried fish, each variety artistically
arranged in round wooden containers. I have no idea what
they are used for.

Living in Central America - Honduras - I see pelnty of
sardines, but they are all canned. However....at this time
of the year, Easter Holy Week, Semana Santa, dried fish is
all over the place - in the local outdoor markets, in the
regular grocery stores, etc. Dried fish seems to be specific
to Semana Santa (along with an abundance of fresh fish). I
have no idea what they do with the dried stuff other than
possibly soak it to remove the salt and then use it in fish
or seafood soups.

I have noticed that my local Japanese grocery carries dried anchovies (they're
teeny) by the boxful. I've seen them mixed in with the nut snack mixes....and
also just by the boxful. I always wondered what they're for. This link seems to
be referring to what I am trying to describe:

I wonder if they aren't the ones used to make dashi. There
are several types of dashi--I tend to think the type made
with bonito is the most common but there's a type made with
little dried fishies, too.

I've also had little dried fishies that have been prepared
with soy sauce, mirin, sugar, ginger, and I'm not sure what
else. I had them with rice for breakfast at a friend's
house. They were very good :-).

So where do the ethics come in? Are you wondering if it is
ethical to dry sardines? Or is it ethical to eat dried
sardines? ;-) Kate

I think a vitial "n" is missing or to state it differently
"Is it ethical to be selective about spelling misteaks."

Your morals are shot to hell if you keep your ethics in an
aisle.... Price check on honesty....Aisle 2.
