A very faint lemon aroma upon opening. Five fish to the tin. A big slice of lemon stuck to the tin lid. I was expecting soggy, mushy fish in this tin because of the lemon. They are indeed the opposite. Even with the lemon, a good textured fish, smoke flavor is still known in this tin. A slightly dry fish. I would eat again. I could really see this tin of fish used in a salad. A tad on the sour side. I would eat again. 4 Sardines.
