What People Say
"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
Vital Choice video: Sardine harvesting and packing We visited our Portuguese sardine partners, video camera in hand, and captured the harvest, landing, and packing. Check it out at YouTube.

"First disappointment"Toni Atkinson on 11/30/2021 11:10Review: I usually buy sardines in olive oil, but I hate to waste the extra oil, so this time I purchased these sardines in water. I am sorry to have to report my disappointment in them, in both the texture and the taste. My first Vital Choice disappointment. Perhaps it is unfair to compare them to sardines in oil; I don't know. But these sardines have a mushy texture and a very fishy taste. They will not go to waste. Instead of my usual way of eating them whole on a plate with a squeeze of lemon and a bit of onion am mashing them with lots and lots of lemon juice and chopped onion, and pairing them with cream cheese which moderates the fishiness.
