BELAWild Caught Portuguese Sardines - Lightly Smoked & Marinated in Extra Virgin Olive Oil | 4.25 Oz (Pack of 12) | All Natural, High Protein, Hand Selected, Sea Salted, & Omega 3 Rich

We were introduced to this delightful brand of sardines by our son. Comparing them to other Portuguese sardines this brand is simply exceptional. The evoo with the lemon combine to make for a light, tasty and crisp sardine treat. Will purchase again.

If you don't mind the salt in Sardines, these are amazing and surprisingly have less salt than most. If I were younger and didn't care about my sodium intake or wasn't so strict, I'd be eating these every day. Awesome!

I love the sauce. The sardines are in and they are smoky and delicious and wholesome. I sometimes have them as a snack if I'm really craving good fat and a protein, but also put them in rice, bowls and salads. You cannot go wrong with these delicious sardines.

I've has these before, and they are head and tails (no pun intended) better than supermarket available sardines. However, this shipment which was obviously hand-assembled contained twelve damaged cans, two excessively damaged to the point I would not eat the contents because i am not confident in the integrity of the seal. There is no excuse for this. These twelve individual cans were hand-chosen and placed in bubble wrap. It was deliberate. One wonders if the products from this vendor are all seconds. I will not order again.

Is the best sardines but cost a little more than similar product . this is not a easy to find product .

Sardine aficionados know that there are many different types of fish and preparation that go into the cans of different brands. Some fish are larger, others tiny. Some firm, others soft. And some bland, others spicy in different ways. This can has the larger fish (so only 3 - 4 per can) and the flesh is delicately soft (though not watery, as it can be in other brands). This is the Spanish / Portuguese way of preparing sardines, and it is excellent. Mildly spicy (peppery) -- but definitely not "hot".You can have this fish just as it comes out of the can, or enhance it. A recommended way of serving it is: Break the fish up into smaller pieces, and add lemon juice as well as any (or all) of the following: thinly sliced scallion or onion, parsley, chopped olives, oregano. Voila -- a quality mediterranean antipasto dish. Great with beer or white wine for those so inclined.Note also that this particular brand goes by more than one name: "Blue Galleon" appears as the "brand" on many online sites -- but does not appear on the cans. The cans show the brand as "Bela". Which can cause confusion.UPDATE 2015: These sardines continue to be excellent, but I would now recommend getting the basic olive-oil variety and adding your own pepper or other spices. On the basis of recent purchases, I think that the olive oil version has a better consistency and can be adapted in more ways according to mood.

It taste awful and the seller just took advantage by raising the price double. Not recommended product due to poor taste .

These sardines are so good, cut a slice off a loaf of sourdough to mop up that yummy oil, worth the extra money.
