I loved Underwood sardines in mustard sauce. They are no longer making them. After trying every other brand, these are the closest to the old Underwood brand! I buy every can I can find & at $1.00, they can't be beat for flavor & price!
ReplyDeleteI've never got to try the Underwood brand. It's great you were able to find some similar.
ReplyDeleteOmg. It's like tasting paper! I'm quite sure it's healthy with the Omega 3 and all but, geez, mushy. I've only tried the soybean oil.
ReplyDeleteYeah, not much flavor.
DeleteI bought five tins of this brand from the Dollar Tree that were a product of Poland. The fish are smaller (~8 to a can) and softer than the fish in the Canadian cans. I even got some roe, which was nice. No scales in any of the cans- HUGE bonus.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to give the Poland cans a try,
DeleteI just bought 10 cans of Orleans brand in oil product of Poland. There must have been 10 to 12 in the can, and on crackers they taste real good. For $1.00 at Dollar store you can't beat the price.
ReplyDeleteSounds great! Can't beat that price at all. I've yet to try the ones from Poland.
DeleteGood information but I sure would like to know if the soybean oil is partially hydrogenated. The address provided on the can where one can request nutritional information is incomplete - no street address or P.O. box number. A web search says that address is for a restaurant. Anyone have further information?
ReplyDeleteJust tried for the first time and I love em! Added more mustard and ate with pretzel sticks...I was in heaven. Shout out to Tom Hanks (THE 'BURBS)!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! Were they from Poland or Canada?
DeleteI was impressed with the polish made soybean oil tins. Not bad for a buck. Skip the mustard and hotsauce. Just plain Narsty!
ReplyDeleteI've yet to try the ones from Poland, Alex. I need to do that.
DeleteDollar Tree in my area has Orleans in mustard sauce from Poland. This is the same tin that may come with an Orleans, Beach Cliff or Bumble Bee label. They are small, probably brisling, sardines in very good mustard sauce. I consider them a bargain at $1. Truth be told these same fish with a different label might be sold as King Oscar. Not many canneries left and they'll put your label on their product.
ReplyDeleteJames
I just tried the ones from Poland, better tin of fish. True, now that Thai union group owns Bumble Bee, King Oscar, as well as Chicken of Sea (We've seen what happened to Chicken of the Sea) I'm curious to see how quality continues or degrades among these brands.
DeleteJust tried Orleans (Poland not Canada variety) and had 9 little guys all lined up. Drained excess oil & really liked the flavor. Perfect texture, not spiny
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear! Thanks for the review,keep popping those tins!
DeleteA dollar for a tin of fish from Poland with mustard, a couple beers, a slab of onion, crackers and an assortment of cheese and olives... not bad, I tell you. Not bad at all. Classic and well deserved sardine breath afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree! Keep popping those tins!
DeleteI got 2 cans to try this past weekend and they are the Poland variety. Thanks for the reviews, I will report back when I dig in.
ReplyDeleteSounds great! I look forward to your thoughts on them!
DeleteI just bought two cans this weekend and am looking forward to trying them. Thanks for the reviews I will get back when I finally get to dig into them.
ReplyDeleteI am confused... you revied the Orleans mustard twice: one time giving it zero sardines then again with 3 1/2 sardines. What is the difference between the two?? They look the same to me...
ReplyDeleteOne is a product of Canada, the other Poland.
Delete79mgcarbs in soybean can ???
DeleteIs that true ?
Bought 2 can of Orleans sardines in Louisiana Hot Sauce. 1 can was miss packed. It was packed in soy oil. Tasted nasty. Couldn’t find an address for the company anywhere. I WILL NOT buy this brand again.
