Tropical SunSardines in Sunflower Oil | 125g All-Natural Tinned Sardines Protein and Omega-3 | Freshly Packed Tinned Fish for a Rich & Nutritious Taste (Pack of 12)

Sardines in a tin. Good value for money in large pack size. The taste was good quality. Lasted for quite a long time.

I like sardines. For that reason I don't buy them in tomato sauce because I want to taste the fish. I usually buy them in oil or water. I was a little nervous about the "Canadian Style" tag and the fact that these sardines are not true sardines (Sardina Pilchardus) but are, in fact small Atlantic Herrings (Clupea Harengus). On opening the tin I found that they look and smell very much like sardines. Depending on size, you get 5 or 6 fish in a tin. Once mashed up on some buttered toast, the taste test found them to be slightly different in flavour to true sardines but not in a bad way. They were delicious. I poured the oil/water liquid from the tin into the dogs' bowls and they both though it was quite a treat. I'm now down to my last 2 tins and about to order some more. I would definitely buy these "Canadian Style sardines" again, but his time I'll try the Tropical Sun sardines in sunflower oil, which come from Morocco, so I assume will be true sardines. I'll see how they compare.

As a long-time sardine enthusiast with a preference for Portuguese sardines in olive oil, I was curious to try Tropical Sun Sardines in Sunflower Oil. This was my first experience with sardines manufactured outside of Portugal and in sunflower oil. Here's my take on this new culinary adventure.Packaging: The packaging of Tropical Sun Sardines is decent, although I noticed that the cans were slightly bent. This is not uncommon for canned sardines, as the metal containers can be easily bent during transportation or storage. However, the bending didn't affect the product inside.Smell: Unfortunately, the metal container had an unpleasant smell, which may have resulted from spilled oil in the batch I received. This suggests that there might have been some oil leakage during the manufacturing or distribution process, which could be an area for improvement.Taste: I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the sardines in sunflower oil. The sunflower oil doesn't have a strong flavor, allowing the natural taste of the sardines to shine through. While I am a fan of olive oil, I appreciated that the sunflower oil didn't overpower the sardines with the spiciness often found in extra virgin olive oil.Nutrition: Tropical Sun Sardines are a great source of protein, making them an excellent addition to a healthy diet. As long as you don't have a fish allergy, these sardines can help enhance your protein intake. Moreover, the sunflower oil provides extra fat, making these sardines suitable for those following paleo or keto diets.Overall, my experience with Tropical Sun Sardines in Sunflower Oil was a positive one. While there were some issues with the packaging and smell, the taste and nutritional benefits more than made up for it. As a newcomer to African (Moroccan) sunflower oil-based sardines, I am excited to continue exploring this new realm of flavors.

Quite good value for money.And the can size is slightly weightier in grams than some other brands.A different taste than my usual brand.Handy buying in bulk if you know you're going to eat sardines regularly.I'm pleased with the product and may reorder.

These taste wonderful, but they are *HOT*!!! You get one large chilli in each tin, which is practically the same size as the sardines, with the outcome that the contents are really quite spicy. My cat is very disappointed and my better half backed away in horror. All the more for me, then! :-)

OLIVE OIL These tins of fish come supposedly so we’re made to believe in heathy olive oil, correct it’s olive oil BUT, if you read carefully the list of ingredients, it states the oil is (refined olive oil). Which you only find out when purchased.Refined olive oil, is made using chemicals. Among other things, solvents such as hexane or light petroleum are used. The unhealthy additions are removed again during refining, but to do this the oil has to be heated to over 200°C - over a period of several hours. Refining removes the inedible chemicals from the oil, but at the same time robs it of its enjoyment potential: When heated to high temperatures, olive oil loses its exquisite taste and many of its natural ingredients. All of the precious fat by-products that make native olive oils so healthy are either greatly reduced or non-existent in refined oils.I have asked Amazon for a full refund as the description is completely misleading, needless to say Amazon have refused..before buying these tins of fish, do you homework first..

Sardines in olive oil? Are you serious? Maybe a couple of drops of olive oil and the rest is full of water, and that poor mixture reflects the poor taste.

after reading a review by a connoisseur below, I trusted the feeling and bought the item. the shortage of chilli enfused sardines at one of the supermarket chains we normally procure from led to desperate measures and extreme innovative decisions. the expert opinion was correct and despite slightly greased tins, just literally traces of oil and some hardly noticable whif, the taste of the product matched the expectations and the spiciness touched higher than the comparable portugese brand. I would keep buying these sardines and advise to stock 1-2 packs of them in case the current crisis continues
