What People Say
Our Portuguese sardines draw high praise:

• "Your sardines in olive oil are outstanding and nothing compares to them ... better than the fresh charcoal broiled sardines I had in Morocco.” – Artemis Simopoulos, M.D., author of The Omega Diet
• "... these are the BEST sardines I have ever eaten!” Jean Singer, Eustis, FL
• "A clean tasting fish. No fishy taste or after taste. Oil taste is very subtle and almost hidden. A meaty, tender fish. I would eat again.” Rating: 4.5 sardines (out of 5)” – Drew, author of the Mouthful of Sardines blog

"Best Saradines..." Wendy Messier on 12/28/2020 11:32 Review: First, the size of the tin is perfect for a one meal or snack. Not too much as with all other size tins. And the flavor is clean, not fishy (somehow). And the sardines are moist, not hard. Top find. Thanks!
