OVERALL:

A nice sardine aroma upon opening. Unable to determine the amount of fish in the tin, fish are extremely soft, almost mushy due to the vinegar (why they discontinued this line) No strong flavors or after, I can't even detect any vinegar flavor. Nettles seem to be there for appearance, don't get much more out of them.  I ate half the tin: with my nine-year-old finishing off the tin commenting on how great they are and wishing they still made these. A good tin of fish. lacking in texture but not flavor. 5 sardines.
