OVERALL:
 My craving for another tin was met with this tin. Being labeled the same with identical ingredients, I was expecting an identical experience. This tin is more shallow than the one before it, with smaller-sized fish. Six small fish to the tin, spice heat does not take the 2nd row to this tin. A nice heat hits you on the first bite, followed by the balance of flavors the tin possesses. Another tin of great-tasting fish as above. This tin is my favorite to date, mouth orgasm. Not a spiny fish, a great textured fish, no after taste present; just an even spice after the tone. A great tin of fish. This must be what happy Sardines taste like. 5 strong sardines!
