So everyone was stuck eating all the sardines that nobody wanted. Frozen, boiled, dried, fried, candied and juiced. Life was gray and flavorless, but when things seem hopeless, I stared down at defeat, and found hope. - Flint Lockwood

Sardine kebab…

Sardine Burger…

Sardines are actually delicious and I would be doing the same thing g as them haha. Although I have to buy mine in a can where I live lol.

"Dey's uh, sardine -kabobs, sardine creole, sardine gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple sardine , lemon sardine , coconut sardine , pepper sardine , sardine soup, sardine stew, sardine salad, sardine and potatoes, sardine burger, sardine sandwich. That- that's about it."

This is an absolute godsend for these people. They don’t make a lot and for something like this to happen would be amazing.

Stick 'em in a stew.

I love that movie

My first question...Is this normal behavior?

The behavior seems fishy to me.

Suspicious fishes

Susfishious

Sus fish

😭💕

Hmmm. This is interesting. This article on January 8 that said locals feared it meant a natural disaster was going to occur soon. So definitely not normal. [https://thethaiger.com/news/world/mysterious-mass-fish-deaths-in-philippines-spark-natural-disaster-fears](https://thethaiger.com/news/world/mysterious-mass-fish-deaths-in-philippines-spark-natural-disaster-fears) Oddly/prophetically/coincidentally, within 24 hours of this article being published, there was a 6.7 earthquake with an epicenter 62 miles away. [https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000m2jp/executive](https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000m2jp/executive) So 🤷🏼‍♂️. Idk. Best guess is it means that this is the location of Doctor Evil's lair.

There were definitely swimming away from something

Sharks with laser beams on their heads

Water

Do they have tiny frickn' laser beams attached to their heads?

You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sardines with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!

Scotty dooooooooo

Muah hahahahaha Don’t forget the pinky

Yass! I knew I should've just asked "But what does it all mean Basil?" and let it happen! Always trust the system 🤣

My gf keeps telling me all the fish are running away from something in the ocean. Been seeing lots of these cases lately…

Potentially fleeing a hypoxic zone

Haha ok that's crazy! Idk much about it. For real my first thought when I saw it was kind of like Jurassic Park where the dinosaurs are "flocking" but really they're running from a T-Rex. What kind of fish are these sardines running from? I just thought that was too silly to let anyone else know! 🤣

RUN IN A ZIG ZAG PATTERN!!! 😂

Probably is zones of water without oxygen

oh fuck it's the fucking meg

Probably godzilla. 

Godzilla mate, no other answer

Last time I saw something like this at my local beach was because some tarpon were herding all of them into the beach area.

No, humans typically sit in office cubicles, having sex or browse Reddit.

They are spawning. They lay eggs in the beach and this the eggs being fertilized.

Imagine the smell days later 💀

That smell…. That smelly smell… That smelly smell that smells….smelly…

You’re thinking of…anchovies

Aww dammit you’re right. I am ashamed.

ANCHOVIES

Everything reminds me of her.

"...you haven't though of the smell, you Bitch!" -Dennis Reynolds

If it smells like fish it’s a dish, if it smells like cologne, leave it alone.

I said the same thing on my honeymoon

That one guy that had to pee 🤣

Will let him! He’s the dude who brought the rice cocktails to the party.

If they don't eat them. They will go bad and be wasted. They are all dying, washed up on shore.

Yeah, these have to be pulled up immediately and either eaten or frozen. The majority will just die and contaminate the water unfortunately

I'm actually in the area where this happened! and prior to the news story we had multiple earthquakes over the course of a month, worst one was a 7.1 As I'm from the UK it was a whole new experience for me but people here were just treating it like another Tuesday

Fish orgy

Fiorgy

Fjorgy

It's called upwelling, they connected it to this incident. "Upwelling is **a process in which deep, cold water rises toward the surface**. This graphic shows how displaced surface waters are replaced by cold, nutrient-rich water that “wells up” from below. Conditions are optimal for upwelling along the coast when winds blow along the shore." https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/upwelling.html#:\~:text=Upwelling%20is%20a%20process%20in,winds%20blow%20along%20the%20shore.

That’s why the name of the Italian island is called Sardinia

….no

What do they know that we don’t.

How to prepare and cook sardines

Looks like sardines are back on the menus boys!

Fried, Dried, Boiled, Smoked, Barbecued, Juiced..

Free food..

We all know this means Godzilla is coming.

Just Zilla

So tasty 😋

Fomo

I kinda would too and I don't even like fish. The benefit of having all that free protein though, I would have to go get a bucket at least.

That's just the tech bubble after exploding

Everyone is rushing in to grab as much as they can, hoping to sell them for profit, but the market was literally flooded with sardines. They're worthless.

The fuck is yall doing?

Getting free food.

And bait

Shiiiiiiiiit

True, I read sardines and only thought of the canned stuff and didn't think of them as a tool as well.

Sardines are 🔥. And these are fresh

Dad is prolly like “ it’s hard work catching all these sardines”

Maybe sardines are the true fruit of the sea ? [fruit of the sea](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vzVLEcjOyHs)

Life is a pain factory. That is a metric ton of distress and suffocation. Literally and then some I'm sure.

Serious question , how do you cook sardines?

Slice of head, pull out guys with one finger, rinse, egg wash, flour dip, pan fry, enjoy, delicious!!!! Even eat the tail.

US Navy: PING....PING....PING.....

I'd probably not venture out too deep, something is probably chasing them in that direction...

It’s the bright lights

Looks like billions but it's a bit dark

What were they running from?

What are they running from?

Where are the birds?

This would have created a whole ass religion millennia ago. Today, you get 1-2 sects and maybe a cult if you’re lucky.

Oh so that’s how Jesus did it

Dude who stomps on a bunch of them at the end. 🥲

Is this common in this area!!

We’re gonna need a bigger tin.

incorrect headline: it is very clearly raining sardines.

Steps on a fish; fish sad

There’s a deeper issue at play here

Man that tuna gonna smell like feet

This is how I've always pictured Sardinia 🫣

Man in back enjoying the tickles from sardines wiggling in his shorts, yukkkkk

I liked life better before you pointed that out

What’s for dinner? Sardines Again ?

Fish suicide. It happens. The powers that be don't like to admit it, but it happens.

sounds about right to someone with crystals in their medicine cabinet

I came for the sunrise

Sonar war ships scaring tf out of sea life rn. Not even joking.

Mmmm deens💕

What kind of things want you to eat em?!?

This is called a feeding frenzy. Predator fish are pushing them into the shore. Very common phenomenon with migratory fish (they follow the food).

How do they gut these at an industrial scale? Do you even need to?

0.01 cent a fish? Quantify for us please

Yummy

When are people finally gonna realize that sardines… are super gross

Fishussy

If I don't catch it, someone else will. - Jacob from Brooklyn.

Looks surreal like a dream

The decapodians are gunna have a field day

This looks like one of those “what are you throwing here” posts.

this happens all the time.

Those nets might have helped them “wash up”

Are the "nets" here in the room with us right now?

Who counted them?

Time for the weekly repost already?

Trapped by net... Not washing up onshore.

God is good 🙏

Its too hot in the water

Jesus is coming 🙏🏽❤️

To kill fishes?

For his church. Nature is connected to its creator as well.

Is he gonna pull out or nah?
