A deep "cooked" oil aroma to the tin. Four plump, scaled fish to the tin. salt hits on the first bite; a soft textured fish, it turns to mush in your mouth. ( no teeth needed) not a spiny fish...which would have added some much-needed texture. Scales are not noticeable. No sardines.

Cornwall, canned in Brittany


INGREDIENTS:
Cornish pilchard fillets, water, Tomato paste, Vinegar, Sugar, Salt, Onions, Modified Corn Starch


PRICE:

OVERALL:
A faint fish and tomato aroma upon opening. Four fillets to the tin. These fillets are boneless, not skinless. A dry fish, a bland-tasting sauce, tin needs a shot of vinegar (more vinegar), or hot sauce. A slight watery after taste. No strong flavor or after taste. I was informed after eating this tin that I smelled of fish... strongly. It would be a better tin with something than alone. (that's not how I rate them)  2 Sardines.
