OVERALL:
No aroma upon opening. Seven fish to the tin, a flavorful tin of fish. A medium-textured fish. Fish have a skinless and boneless likeness to them, without the dryness and denseness S&B sometimes have. No strong flavors; oil does not over-power the fish. This is a perfect tin of fish; tin leaves you wanting more. I will eat again. 5 Sardines

OVERALL:
A brief marinade aroma is detected upon opening; it disperses as quickly as it lets itself known. A medium-textured fish. A very mild and flavorful marinade. A great blend of spices, nothing is fighting to make itself known, a very well balance of flavors. The best-marinaded sardines I've had to date leaves no strong aftertaste, a very clean-tasting fish. ( I wonder if they have a master blender for spices and marinades as the states do for bourbon?) Perhaps they kiss each sardine and pack them with love. They are that good. I would and will eat again. 5 sardines.
