PRODUCT OF: 
Morocco

INGREDIENTS:
Sardines, Olive Oil, Salt

OVERALL:
No aroma upon opening. Four fish to the tin. A soft textured fish, a very succulent fish, not a dry fish, for being skinless boneless... No strong taste or after. Reminds me of a good tuna cut, then a tin of sardines. If you or someone you know are still on the fence about sardines, try or suggest these. (not a traditional tin, but you gotta start somewhere), I would eat again 5 Sardines. (The sodium content is outrageous for this tin)

PRICE:

OVERALL:
A very unique aroma upon opening, almost a burnt rubber aroma. Three plump, scaled fish to the tin. Heat is detectable in this tin. A roe-filled fish, Roe is a very dry, gritty texture. Chilli pods are large in this tin; one pod is almost the length of the sardines. Scales are very noticeable in this tin. The fish possess an almost sweet after the tone to them. A bitter taste hits you while eating.
Further, inspection shows these fish were not purged well. Contents remain inside., giving it a sour taste. A nice heat. I probably would not eat again. 1 Sardine.

OVERALL:
A deep tomato aroma when opened. Three plump, scaled fish to the tin. The first bite was a Roe-filled fish that was grainy, innards full of green goodness  Scales are not too noticeable other than visual. No heat is detected, chili pod is present. A really bland tin of fish does not hold up on flavor by itself. Not a tin to eat alone, on toast or a dish perhaps. I may would eat again. 1 1/2 Sardine

OVERALL:
These come in small tins; they are the size of anchovy tins here in the states. Upon opening, a very faint tomato aroma, three fish to the tin, and a very thick tomato sauce. A very salty tin of fish, fish is on the dry side. No fishy taste or after taste, not spiny at all. The sauce has a strong but decent flavor. I would eat again. 3 Sardines.

PRODUCT OF: 
Portugal

INGREDIENTS:
Sardines, Tomato, Vegetable Oil, Chili Pepper, Salt

PRICE:
1.00

OVERALL:
Faint tomato aroma upon opening. There are three tightly packed fish to the tin; roe-filled fish, roe is on the gritty side. The fish still possess scales; they are unnoticeable. A chili pod is snugged down in the tin, both ends cut off to release that chili goodness. Nice heat to the fish that was packed on top of the pod. A good textured fish, a good heat throughout the rest of the fish. Tomato sauce is almost undetectable from the heat of the chili  I would eat again. 4 1/2 sardines.

Sardines, Vegetable Oil, Chilli Pepper, Salt

PRICE:

OVERALL:
The tin reads, Spiced Sardines in Vegetable Oil (Hot Sauce)   *putting chili in vegetable oil becomes hot sauce? OK..*    Oil aroma upon opening, three tightly packed scaled mangy fish to the tin, chili pod is on top of the sardines instead of under these guys. A soft textured fish falls apart, removing them from the tin. An excellent heat to the fish, oil is a little off-putting. I may eat again. 2 Sardines.
