• "... these are the BEST sardines I have ever eaten!” Jean Singer, Eustis, FL

"Delicious fillets!." Georgia Syribeys on 03/20/2021 08:35 Review: These are then best sardine fillets ever. I can't eat the fish bones anymore & have triied many fillets. These are the best for a quite elderly stomach & taste buds!
