Excellent sardines, quickly shipped
One of the best-tasting sardines on the market. Firm, not mushy!, texture. Nice smokiness. They also are very well and neatly packed in the tin and look good.It's difficult to find sprat sardines where I live, and I very much prefer them to the larger pilchards which are so prevalent.They arrived quickly, well packaged. Very happy.

Delicious, Great Quality, Perfect Quantity of Sardines
I never tried this brand of sardines, but I have now discovered my favorite brand! I love the olive oil that the sardines are drenched in and the quality is top tier. There’s so much quantity of sardines, that you really cannot finish one can. I love eating mine with saltine crackers. This brand tastes extremely fresh and there’s not too much salt content. I love this brand!

Best and Healthiest Sardines.
I switched from another brand because each can that I opened was a mushy mess.. I thought if one or two cans that happened with..it can happen! But each one was the same. I researched brands, and EWG..please check that site out..Promise you won't be sorry. It rates pesticides, BPA in cans, cosmetics and foods. This brand was rated the best. The first can that I opened was just the same as in the photo in the comments. Plump and perfect shape, for appetizers, or whatever one would like. It tastes delicious. The company is very well researched and has been around for a very long time. I am so happy to recommend this brand. I buy skinless and boneless in water salt free..though it has only a small amount of salt ..I prepare it as a spread..and add lemon juice a little dill and garlic powder, whatever one wants..and little mayo or one can use a little EVOO..served on crackers, or toasted bread. You just can't go wrong. Bon Apetite'

Mediterranean style with tails
Not a fan of the skin bones and occasional tail. Taste okay if you can ignore them. I don’t it think they enhance the flavor.
