Pleasant aroma upon opening. Three and a half medium round fish to the tin. They possess a good firm texture, very meaty. Salt is very noticeable, a tad dry. They have an aftertaste I just can't place. Not fishy at all. I would eat again. These guys get four Sardines.

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.

As a recovering cardio patient I'm probably more likely to notice sodium content than most. I've eaten a lot of cans of sardines these last six years since my heart attack and for sodium content these are the highest I've seen. The in water shows a 194mm content while the Olive oil shows a content of 260mm. This is a bit deceiving as these are per serving and according to the label there are 2.5 servings per can. That's means respectively 485mm and 650mm per tin. I did think they were quite good, although I've had better, so just a thought for those out there who are sodium conscience.
ReplyDeleteAgree, I also find that this brands uses too much salt. Fish have enough salt already.
ReplyDeleteI just had a can of the olive oil/lightly smoked variety, and found it to be largely flavorless. Not salty at all (to the point of dullness). Maybe I got a tin oddball batch.
