PRODUCT OF: Morocco


INGREDIENTS:
Tomato sauce, salt

PRICE: 1.47


OVERALL:
No strong odor upon opening, sauce a little off-putting by appearance. 3 large fish to a tin. Fish semi-firm. It is a very meaty fish with good flavors, the sauce is very light, it actually compliments the fish. No fishy after taste, or any for that matter. I would rebuy it.
3 1/2 Sardines

PRODUCT OF:
Thailand

INGREDIENTS:
Sardines, Tomato Sauce, Vegetable Oil, Salt

PRICE:

OVERALL:
This tin gave me a hard time. A potent fish aroma upon opening. Four fish to the tin. A firm textured fish; a dry fish; sauce a tad on the sour side. Fishy taste is strongly the overtone to this tin. Not spiny. I would not eat again. No sardines.

  1. I am currently eating a can of Sumaco (Moroccan). You're spot on with your review, although they look pretty good in this can. http://i.imgur.com/rPECNmE.jpg

  4. Sumaco canned sardines are made by Conserval factory at Safi, Morocco. That is the real Sumaco brand that my family eat over years from 1950s when we were in Indochina.

    Sumaco Thailand is just a copy of Sumaco, not real sardine of Morocco that available in Mediterranean Sea and along to Atlantic Ocean - The Sardinas Pilchardus Walbaum living in these regions _ not in Thailand.

  5. The Moroccan Sumaco sardines are so tasty I regularly eat them straight out of the can as a treat. The copy-cat Thai version, not so much. I tried twice out of curiosity and never again.
