OVERALL:
Probably the most challenging damn pull top I've had the pleasure of opening(this brand). The tab broke off toward the end, sending sauce everywhere. Very strong smelling sauce. There is two the tin, a sour aroma creeps from the tin. Scales, Scales, and more damn Scales. A very vinegary-tasting sauce, it really overpowers the fish. A very crumbly fish. After the vinegary wang goes away, a nice heat is made known. The heat is the only thing good about this tin. 1/2 a sardine. That's based on the heat alone. I would not eat again.

OVERALL:
No pleasant aroma at all upon opening. There are four sizeable scaly fish to the tin with some very uninviting vinegary mustard flavor. Almost like a Sardine-flavored gum when it comes to texture. A dry fish, why leave scales on a fish when it's in a sauce!? Would not eat again. No Sardines.
