Canned Sardines in Olive Oil - Canned Mediterranean Sardines without Heads, from El Manar - 12-Pack of 125g Tins

The best sardines I ever had. I order the tomato sauce ones, I remove excess sauce and eat them as is. My cat always comes running to bother me for some.

These are bone-in and skin-on sardines with some cayenne peppers. They are very consistent and tasty. I enjoyed them and will purchase again.

My wife and I often split a can of sardines and a sleeve or crackers as a mid afternoon snack. We had been pretty much stickling to the cheap/common brands mostly until I splurged on a selection from a local Portuguese market. The 7 different cans we purchased there varied from $5 to $8 in price. OUCH! Of those cans ( all very good but different) we liked the El Manar Mediterranean Sardines in Olive oil the best. We found the flesh of these med/large sardines being firm and the oil mild /not overpowering. There was also no fishy after taste as many brands have. (Even some of the better ones) The El Manar brand were notably better than what we had been buying for sure! . The only issue was that they were relatively expensive. Then, on a whim, I did a search here on Amazon for the brand and was amazed to find the exact same product at less than 1/2 price AND with next day delivery. I love shopping at Amazon and this is another reason why.

I had no problem opening mine such as other reviews listed. Yeah it's stiff, but as long as you pull in the right direction there's no problem. Everyone opened just fine. You get 3 big sized fish in the tin. I couldn't even tell they were flavored. Very blame. I wish they were spicy. But I couldn't tell the difference between blain sardines in olive oil from these. Dont know why so many companies market as flavored sardines if you can't even tell it's flavor. If your gonna do it, do it right. Such as King oscar's or Polar brand. Those are the only two brands that I've tried where you can taste the flavor. There's a so called hot pepper in the bottom of tin. I ate the whole thing whole, it they must6 put the mildest pepper they can find in these. Such as shame. But dump some hot sauce all over these & ther not bad for the money. They were pretty fresh, I wish they were in olive oil. Because I believe they use soybean oil. Which always makes a dry fish. Unlike olive oil. There problably trying to save a buck. But for the money it's a bang for the buck. Just now there no cayenne pepper flavor at at. The came in perfect condition. The tin is stiff as hell to open. But besides that I had no issues

We've opened The first two cans and the pull tab broke on both of them. So we had to use a regular can opener. I found that to be frustrating because the regular can opener you have to play around with it a couple times to get it to go around the can. The sardines were good though. That's why I gave it three stars as opposed to four.

Canned Sardines Tomato Sauce tested very good. The size was very normal no strong smell and very good value for money. The only negative thing was when trying to open the can not easy, but I found the way to open it much easier. First step raise and bent the opening key then have a thick knife and push both sides up to release and then hold the key and pull up.

Nice and ferm with good amount in a can taste is okay i would buy it again

Sardines are excellent. However, container is almost impossible to open. I have to use a screw driver and pliers to open the can. Sardines are a 10, can is a minus 10.
