    1. Sounds like a great combo! I picked these up at a Middle Eastern market in Columbia, SC. They have closed since then. A real good tin of fish.

    2. I too get mine from a local Middle Eastern market in Michigan but they are $1.49. Still worth it at that price, a great can of sardines. The variety w/ chili pepper are the perfect level of heat.
