Oceans Secret Seahath's Sardines in Tomato Sauce ( 400 g ) (Pack of 4)

Putting fish in cans to last years has been a very efficient idea that we have been doing it for centuries.When I bought this, I had in mind an economical source of protein that could be stocked up each month to be incorporated into dishes on the fly with minimal prep. After trial and error, I have come to a conclusion. At first I had some misgivings about the product and was thoroughly disappointed with the taste but I'm relieved to say that I have found some use for it.The trick is to not cook it too much. It comes precooked right out of the can - both fish and the sauce. Do not use the tomato sauce in complex gravy and curry. Use fresh fish for that. The blend of spices and the tomato sauce doesn't work well and the dish ends up in a conflicted, muddled taste. Use it in simple dishes like rice and pasta. Both - the fish and sauce can be used. No need for fresh tomatoes which is a bonus. Remember. PUT IT IN VERY LAST. Don't cook for long. Or directly use in sandwiches right out of the can.For best results, use the can within 7 days. You can cover the can with wrap, refrigerate it and use every day or every other day. If the sauce has turned brown, the taste will not be very good. It has gone bad.There was not much scales and bones in the cans as others have said but the ways of cooking is limited. All said, I suspect the fish is not sardine at all but Indian mackerel. That's okay if you're only buying for the nutritional value.I will buy this on the regular for use in pasta - carbohydrates and protein intake.

The gravy is good but the size of the fish pieces are very tiny

Its overcooked and gooey.It is not in tomato sauce, but possibly in some sort of tomato based sauce.

The taste is as expected, but the sardine is thoroughly minced, with hardly any chunks or pieces of fish; it's completely mashed. I've tried other brands that contain pieces and chunks of fish. Additionally, I'm uncertain about the nutritional value listed on the tin. The ingredients include added starch and sugar, yet the nutritional label indicates only 0.77g of carbs per 100g. I'm curious about how it can have such a low carb value when it contains tomato, starch, and sugar (though this is merely an observation, not a complaint).

I bought the 400 gm cans and it has ample amount of big fish pieces. So good amount of fish for a decent price. Tip: Buy a can opener from Amazon, or else it will lead to a mess to open a can with fish and tomato inside.

The taste is just as good and the portions generous.

Opened 2 out of the 12 ordered, all tins are of same date of production and expiry, both tin contents were Off taste, smelt like the fish pieces have begun to deteriorate. Not opened others, sadly I can’t return these or get a replacements.

I liked it nothing to dislike
