PRODUCT OF:
Cornwall, canned in Brittany


INGREDIENTS:
Cornish pilchard fillets, water, Tomato paste, Vinegar, Sugar, Salt, Onions, Modified Corn Starch


PRICE:




OVERALL:
A faint fish and tomato aroma upon opening. Four fillets to the tin. These fillets are boneless, not skinless. A dry fish, a bland-tasting sauce, tin needs a shot of vinegar (more vinegar), or hot sauce. A slight watery after taste. No strong flavor or after taste. I was informed after eating this tin that I smelled of fish... strongly. It would be a better tin with something than alone. (that's not how I rate them)  2 Sardines.
