Chicken of the Sea Lightly Smoked Sardines in Oil, 3.75 Ounce Cans (Pack of 18), Wild Caught Canned Sardines

I have ordered from this brand, I think, seven times now. I have always received high quality cans, only two single cans of which were ever dented, and the expiration dates have been consistently greatI have tried the lemon variety, and the mustard variety too, so I'll add some comments on them ---For the Lemon kind - It really wasn't that lemony at all, to a disappointing degree. They were good, yeah, but were kind of the same as the 'in oil' kind with just a HINT of lemon. I wasn't impressed, personally. But the quality of the sardines themselves was still there. 3/5 starsFor the mustard kind - These were really good. The mustard wasn't too strong or overpowering. But the sardines were ever-so-slightly dry (which is usually the case with any kind not packaged in oil, I guess?) They were still really good anyway though. 4/5 starsI've tried probably four different brands, and I think this brand is my favorite so far. Also, I like that they source the sardines from a more reputable areaI will say, this last batch I ordered seems to be a little saltier than the previous batches I got. That's not REALLY a complaint, though. But it is something I noticed. Again, I don't consider that a bad thingAside from being a very easy, very convenient meal, (I pair a can with some crackers or bread to soak up the oil) and I didn't actually know/realize this before, but sardines are a really good source of collagen. So, along with the protein and omega-3s and all that, the collagen is something I consider a nice bonusI really don't think you'll be disappointed with this brand. And the price you pay for the amount you get seems like a really good deal to me

Aside from the way the sardines look like they were randomly thrown in the can with olive oil, these were an amazing value. Not only are they filled to the brim, but are around $1 per can compared to other brands that go for over 3x that, and they were absolutely delicious. The sardines are delicate and melt in your mouth, and the olive oil tasted like rich quality olive oil. These are worth it and cheap enough to eat every meal of the day if you're so inclined.

I like sardines and these have a good flavor (packed in oil) and the price is excellent. I like them enough to have them on subscribe and save!Tried a couple of other brands but first their price escalated quickly and they were just...kind of bland. Tried these and now I'm hooked (yeah, bad pun).

They are very very tiny sardines a lot piled in the can. Not really fishy tasting.. I like that they are in olive oil.

The sardines are much better than the Beach Clift sardines I have been buying in the grocery store and although they are too pricey, they are not as pricey and the grocery stores. I guess everything is effected by Biden omics!

They taste great! Great snack or a light lunch. I like them with saltines and ritz crackers. A bite of cheese is good too. Some people hate the look and smell of sardines and wont try them. If you trying them for the first time you will like these. If you eat raw oyster or grilled oysters, shrimp, crab, lobster, Flounder, scallops you will probably like sardines too. This is a good choice.

I bought these Chicken of the Sea sardines in olive oil because the 18 pk was a few bucks cheaper than the same brand in water that I usually buy. But the ones in water had their price jacked up $3 since my last purchase, so I bought the ones in olive oil. I never thought to check the ingredients. The sardines in olive oil have fake ‘smoke flavoring’. I enjoy real smoked meats, but sardines don’t have a strong taste, so the smoke flavoring is bossy and steals the fish flavor.They aren’t terrible, but I’ll never buy them again.

Good quality, cheap prepper food
