Wild Caught Brisling Sardines In Pure Spring Water, 3.75 Ounce (Pack of 12) ( Packaging May Vary ) | In Spring Water, Wood Smoked, Hand Packed, Kosher, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, High Protein, Omega-3, No Salt Added

All true, although these were small sardines, less than 2". Nonetheless, the can is packed tightly to the sides so you get the same amount of fish or more than you usually find in a can. I love them. The online sardine review article I read that recommended this brand described horrors in cleanliness and quality of ALL the major brands of sardines that you can find at the grocery store. Sardines are very nutritious, low carb, and convenient. The price per can is around $3 a can, while some good sardines are around $6, so these are a value if you want high quality sardines. I will reorder these.

Solid texture. Not mushy. Decent taste. Keep in mind that sardines do taste better packed in oil than in water.

I spent a lot of time researching sardines before buying regularly, and King Oscar kept standing out for quality, consistency, and long-term reputation. The brand has been around for over a century, and that shows in the product. These brisling sardines are wild-caught, wood-smoked, hand-packed, and packed in water with very simple ingredients.A lot of the negative reviews seem to miss an important point: these are packed in water, not oil. Water-packed sardines will naturally have a more direct aroma and more pronounced fish flavor. Oil, especially olive oil or seasoned varieties, softens both the smell and the taste. So if someone is expecting the milder profile of oil-packed sardines, they may not like these, but that does not mean the product is low quality.In my experience, the quality has been consistent across multiple orders, including shipping. The fish are clean, well-packed, and exactly what I want when I’m looking for a straightforward sardine without added oils or heavy flavoring.If you want a mild, oil-packed sardine, buy that version. But if you want a simple, high-quality, water-packed sardine from a trusted brand, these are excellent.

Highly rated for quality

Very plain tasting. However low salt and no olive oil, you get the product you need, not the taste you want. Fills the belly.

I love King Oscar products and order them often. I waited a month for these to be delivered due to being out of stock, and received them this evening. They were boxed with one end of the box open, inside a heavy duty paper shipping bag, and when unpacking them to put them away, the first can was bubbled - I could see and feel it when I picked it up, even through the plastic wrapping. All the other 11 cans looked perfectly fine but I noticed a second bloated can that had a bubbled top. Nothing was leaking from any of then. I suspect this was just a canning glitch. Amazon was unable to process a partial credit or replacement, and refunded the order. I really am disappointed, but Amazon is always great, and I will continue to order the King Oscar products since this has never happened before.

This is a great snack without the salt (and sugar) of some poorer choices. There are no scales on these sardines, there is no detectable bone to chew on and no low-quality olive or soybean oil. Just the good stuff! They're a beautiful silver color. Very tender fish and not overly fishy tasting or smelling for me.

Unmm Delicious

Me gusta la versión en agua, que es difícil encontrar. Ideal para servir con huevo duro, jitomate, pepino. Muy saludable y nada pesado, sobre todo en la merienda.
