Nepton- 147

NEPTON: IN OLIVE OIL 



APPEARANCE:
NUTRITION:
N/A


PRODUCT OF:
Portugal


INGREDIENTS:
N/A

PRICE:


OVER ALL:
Two large fish to the tin, a faint oil aroma upon opening. The fish is bursting with roe; a very meaty fish. A nice white flaky meat. Scales are present; not noticeable. Not a spiny fish, no strong taste or after; a clean tasting fish. Fish posses a good texture, holds it's shape well while removing from tin. I would eat again. 4 1/2 sardines.







NEPTON: IN SPICY SOYA OIL






APPEARANCE:

NUTRITION:
N/A


PRODUCT OF:
Portugal

INGREDIENTS:
N/A

PRICE:


OVER ALL:

A very faint oil aroma upon opening. Three large fish to the tin. A firm textured fish, roe filled. No strong taste or after. A bit salty, salt is very noticeable and hits you on first bite. Heat is almost undetectable in this oil, a faint hint of warmth makes it's self known than disperses as quickly as it appeared. Not a spiny fish. I give these guys 3 1/2 sardines.

  OVERALL: Five to a tin. No pungent odor upon opening. In the lovely Moroccan style, they all still possess the scales that God Poseidon bestowed upon them. A very tasty and meaty fish.

Mild flavor. 2 sardines solely on taste...
