Sardines, Sunflower Oil, Spices,Salt

PRICE:

OVER ALL:
A sweet, almost citrus aroma hits you on opening. Nine small, patchy scaled, fish to the tin. Heat is present on first bite. The taste is a tad off. The taste reminds me of a salve my grand paw would use at night. The texture is also off; dry and an almost over cooked quality to it. No peppers/chillis in the tin; only spicy oil. I would not eat again. No sardines.

    2. I believe it. :-) They seem more recipe-worthy, also, maybe for a chowder? Or a salad...
