  OVERALL: Two to a can, upperparts firm, lower part very soft. These sardines. This is one of the reasons I've started this blog. To remind me not to buy these again. I purchased a can of these previously then again a year later. The other reason for this blog was the closing of the US'S LAST sardine plant in Maine. The sauce is bland and a thin fish odor hits you upon opening has a mild taste. Hopefully won't buy it again. One sardine

  OVERALL: 

Three large chunks of a fish. Fishy smell upon opening, good oil consistency, semi-soft up top very soft mushy like at the bottom of the chunk. Mild tasting, this would be a good fish to make a spread or the sorts out of(for the price) wouldn't buy again... Out of Five Sardines, receives one sardine...
