OVERALL:
Here's another tin that says "Wild Caught" I can't help but laugh when I see this on the packaging. Smokey aroma very prominent upon opening, five loosely packed fish to the tin. The fish are a little on the soft side. The smoke flavor really overpowers the fish. A fishy after-taste attempts to be known but is held at bay by the smoke flavor. A bitter, almost off-putting after taste. Would not eat again. No Sardines

The smoke flavor is very prominent upon opening. Four to a tin, fish, is semi-firm. The smoke flavoring overpowers the fish tremendously. It reminds me of eating fake bacon bits. Not a bad tin of fish by comparison, but I wouldn't eat again. Too artificial tasting for my taste. No sardines.
