OVERALL:
A very faint tomato aroma upon opening. A firm textured fish; a thick sauce, the sauce is very flavorful; sauce does overpower the fish, being a skinless, boneless variety that's easy to do. The fish is a tad dry. This fish placed on toast, pasta, or any number of hosts would be great. I would eat again. 4 1/2 Sardines.

PRICE:

OVERALL:
A faint smoke aroma upon opening. A firm textured fish; slightly bitter tasting. Tin would be much better without the smoke flavoring added ( Another tin of fish in Olive oil, ruined by the canned sardine tariff rule. Now that there are no canneries left in the states, they should lighten up on the tariff.) Perhaps this tin would be better in a dish. This tin is not as dry as the other two. No strong taste or after taste; oil flavor does a little lingering. I would not eat again "alone" 3 1/2 sardines
* Thanks to Donald Gilbreath for acquiring these tins for me.
Does the tariff rule require the sardines be smoked? I tried google but the info was from 1968. Please enlighten us.
ReplyDeleteThe fish has to be smoked or at least one drop of liquid smoke added per tin to avoid the tariff. 15% is added to non smoked or smoke not added to the tin. A 20% is added on to skinless boneless sardines. Why most S&B comes from Morocco.(free trade)
