  OVERALL: 

 The aroma is quite pleasant; it reminds me of stew. # large meaty pieces of fish. Half a hand full of veggies. I'm impressed this much stuff was in that little can. The first bite really threw me off. my taste buds were confused as hell. Semi-soft fish, the peppery sauce is very prominent, lingering fishy after taste. The can suggest serving them heated. So I heated them up next. After heating, the aroma became lots more prominent. Heating would be the way to go with these. It made them a lot more tolerable. Fishy after taste remained dominant. Fish is on the dry side. I'll give these guys 1/2 a sardine, and that just may be the beer talking. Would not eat again.

Even though onions were not in the ingredients, it was full of onions, fish dry, and crumbly. The sauce is on the mild side; I warmed them up after eating some from the can. Not too bad of a tasting fish. Slight fishy after taste. I may eat again. Hell, I'll give these guys one sardine. These guys are a two beer minimum per can.
