BEACH CLIFF: IN SOYBEAN OIL
APPEARANCE:
NUTRITION:
PRODUCT OF: CANADA
INGREDIENTS: Soybean Oil, Salt
PRICE: .99
OVERALL: A decent sardine, a little on the bland side for myself. Would be good to add to a salad or a spread or to people who eat bland foods...A classic sardine taste, not too spiny. They've already started shipping and putting fish into Beach Cliff cans, which was once a product of America. Guess they need to take the American flag down from the Beach cliff site.
I give it two out of 5 sardines..
BEACH CLIFF: IN SOYBEAN OIL WITH HOT GREEN CHILIES
APPEARANCE:
NUTRITION:
PRODUCT OF: AMERICA
INGREDIENTS: Soybean Oil, Chili Peppers, Salt
PRICE:.99
OVERALL: There were only 3 to the can, unlike the Beach Cliff from Canada. They were very firm, not mushy/soft at all. Little too salty for my taste, (I'm not a salt eater at all, I'm all about peppers and other spices, so what may be salty to me, may not be salty to others.) Was very impressed with the heat from the chilies, Not too hot yet not like eating a plain green pepper ether.Was impressed with the bed of chilies the fish laid upon as well. Overall I like this combo, I keep some of these in my locker at work always. These are really good cheap sardines that can be put into almost everything. From 1 to 5 Sardines I give it a 3 1/2

NUTRITION:
PRODUCT OF: AMERICA
INGREDIENTS: Water, Mustard, Acetic Acid, Modified Cornstarch, Salt, Tumeric, Xanthan Gum, Natural Color and Flavor, Spices
PRICE:.99
OVERALL: You really receive the aroma of mustard upon opening the can. A good balance of mustard doesn't overpower the taste of the sardine. Nice thick sauce, fish had a good consistency to it. Not firm at all. The mustard on the spoon actually drips off, instead of run like other mustard sauce. Have to go with 3 1/2 out of 5 sardines for this one as well.

Such a nice post on Centrifuged Sardine Fish Oil. Thanks for sharing such a nice information with us.......
ReplyDeleteThe first time I actually tried sardines was about a month ago, due to personal reasons. ;) The mental thought of eating them skin, bones, etc.. was just hard for me to grasp. So, I was introduced to the skinless, boneless, lightly smoked in oil kind...Wow!! I was instantly hooked. They were really great!! Thanks dear friend for being there on my very "First Sardine Experience." cd
ReplyDeleteCertain Beach cliff sardines are now a product of poland can you review it?
ReplyDeleteI will look into it
DeleteHad a can of Beach Cliff sardines in Louisiana Hot sauce just yesterday. Had to throw them out, soft mushy and bad texture all around. Very disappointed.
ReplyDeleteSadly, Beach Cliff's quality is not what it use to be.
DeleteBeach Cliff sardines in mustard sauce also comes from Poland now. Got a can from the local Kroger on June 23, '13. Fish are very small, at least in this tin, probably Brislings. Mustard sauce is a little on the thin side but still good. A really tasty tin of fish. I hope the Canadian version is still being produced along with the product from Poland.
DeleteEnjoy your site!
James
Thanks for the heads up,James. I'll check a tin out.
DeleteI eat sardines every day, for health reasons (and I like them.) Beach Cliff struck the perfect balance between economy and edibility. Recently I've accidentally purchased the cans of product from Poland. These taste nothing like the fish I'm used to from Beach Cliff -- in fact, they compel me to yark until my gut is empty. I'm afraid I'm going to have to find another cheap fish-in-a-can, this stuff is trash. The naturally smoked Herrings from Polar (product of Germany) are cheap here -- suppose I'll have to go that route.
ReplyDeleteYeah, with Bumble Bee out sourcing the name, quality has gone down.
DeleteI also eat sardines every day, and for years it has been Beach Cliff. I also am now looking for a new brand, even if I have to pay more. Beach Cliff's from Poland are the only ones at Krogers where I shop. They are now often mushy. Too disgusting to be able to finish a can.
DeleteI've eaten Beach Cliff sardines in water for several years on a regular basis. I am now looking for a new company. Krogers only sells the ones from Poland, and these are frequently extremely mushy. It's hard for me to even finish eating a can of them.
DeleteI buy from the local 99c store (since can in Southern CA grocery stores go for $1.29+), and there's typically a decent selection of fish. Most are packed in Thailand, but some (you have to dig for them) are packed in Canada. I usually stick with Beach Cliff since that's what's carried most of the time, but I'm not picky. The one thing that I've noticed is that if the tin is a product of Thailand, I'm getting at least one fish scale in my mouth. It doesn't matter what flavor, or if it's fish steaks vs sardines. Thailand = fish scales. Disgusting. The tins from Canada are superior in every way. It's a pity so few of those tins end up in the 99c store.
ReplyDeleteThailand's are not appealing. I've ran into the same lately.
DeleteTo Beach Cliff fans here's a heads up to stock up. In the local Walmart stores in my area the price per tin has gone DOWN twelve cents a can from a buck to 88 cents. Quality remains the same (all cans are not created equal). In this day and age of ever increasing food prices twelve cents a can on the minus side is amazing.
ReplyDeleteJames
Used to fish for mackeral in the scrap discharge pool with grandad in 70's at prospect harbor plant. When they were still US co., the chilis were small { 1" or so} whole chilis. still eat them, but sad to see them gone.
ReplyDeleteIt truly is. Thanks for sharing.
DeleteYou can find some of the Fish Steaks in Louisiana Style Hot Sauce from Canada. These are delicious and much better than the Thai ones. I hope you will get around to trying them.
ReplyDeleteI'll pick up a tin.Thanks.
DeleteI'm obviously late to the comment party but thanks for posting this. I like the few that I've tried from this brand but I was afraid to branch out more. I think I'll buy some tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteThere's never a cut off to a comment party on this blog. Branching out with sardines is the fun part about eating these canned fish. Hope you find a good tin!
DeleteEating a tin of Beach Cliff Fish Steaks in hot sauce right now. I love these for a cheap canned fish snack. I'm sure not all tins are created equal, but I have yet to get a bad tin of these things. I've had probably 20 tins in the past four months. Or maybe my taste buds are just whacked out haha
ReplyDeleteThat's great! Are they from Thailand or Canada?
DeleteI'm here becauese I am trying to get over the shock of getting a mouthful of gritty, sandy, and generally yucky tasting roe after biting into a Beach Cliff sardine. What an unwelcome surprise. The farthest thing from a delicacy I could imagine. Now, I'm staring at a shelful of tins that might hide the same disgusting surprise and I'm scared.
ReplyDeleteI'm here because I'm trying to get over the shock of getting of mouthful of gritty, sandy and generally yucky tasting roe after biting into a Beach Cliff sardine. What an unwelcome surprise and the farthest thing from a delicacy I could imagine. I love sardines and I'm a bit tramautized. I've NEVER in all my years of sardine eating run into this. Is it especially common with this brand?
ReplyDeleteyes, Roe is pretty common in Beach Cliff and Port Clyde sardines.
DeleteI kind of like it. I haven't ever seen it in the small cans though. I have seen it in the big oval cans.
DeleteI kind of like it. I haven't ever seen it in the small square cans, only in the big oval ones.
DeleteThe fish steaks in soybean oil, I did not have a nasty tasting steak. All were very well tasting!
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear.
DeleteIt is worthwhile reading this blog. I was searching such kind of blog for a long time but now I think I got a blog of my interest. I am thankful for these all suggestions mentioned under this blog.

Billy Bishop SC Just wanted to let you know that I started eating sardines at a very young age, I would go fishing with my grandparents!! So then I get married and love to to eat them then as as I did with my grandparents!!
ReplyDeleteSo then I joined military, and I've always ate them in a field environment as well!!
Bottom line Beach Cliff, Y'all Have An Awesome Products!!!!
I was snacking on sardines just now and remembered lamenting the end of Beach Cliff sardines packaged in America back in 2010. Even posted an image of them. Still looking for a good brand today, in 2019!

Great pic! Hard to believe it's been so long ago
DeleteOctober 14th,2020 just had beach cliff sardines in soybean oil.
ReplyDeleteGreat tasting as always!
That's great to hear! keep popping those tins!
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS NOT HOW THESE SARDINES LOOK!! They are so small I had 12 in tge can I opened! This has happened more than once and if you keep killing the babies they cannot grow to reproduce and you will bring them to extinction. SHAME ON YOU for eliminating the sardine population so we will have no more.
ReplyDeleteI had a tin of Beach Cliff and one of Northern Catch today, both of them in New Orleans Hot Sauce. Tiny fish! More like big minnows than sardines.
DeleteBeachclift sardines in mustard sause.used to have 3 fish,now 10 or 12 all scrambled up.not the taste the 3 had
ReplyDeleteThey are being canned in Poland now too. Look for Canada
DeleteWe purchased several cans of sardines. The contents were crammed in and very tiny like goldfish. Before there used to be 3-4 large sardines.
DeleteThe sardines in mustard sauce are from Poland.The polluted Baltic sea .Not Canada or America .
