This review is from: Angelo Parodi Brand Portuguese Sardines Skinless and Boneless in Olive Oil 105 Gr (Misc.)
Recently I was trying to find and taste the BEST sardine that is available in the market and came across a list of sardines that a person had tried. He rated this sardine as the number 1 sardine in his list.
After paying a fortune specially on shipping in getting this sardine, I could not wait to taste it. I met my first obstacle when trying to open it. It comes with a pull ring and you have to pull the metal cover off the can by pulling the ring. It was very risky because it was hard to pull it and I almost cut myself. Some manufacturers of sardine like Seasons had already changed the top part of their sardine can from metal to foil paper (sold in Costco) so that they could be easily opened. Once I opened the can (not completely), I found a few skinless and boneless sardines that were packed separately inside the can. There were so few of them (like 4 or 5) and they were so tiny and there was simply more olive oil than sardines. It almost seems like they are swimming inside the can. Well, I took a bit of them. Not bad but not that great either. Beside the fact that I can remove them easily (they are so far apart from each other), their tastes are not any different than the much cheaper Seasons sardines I got from Costco. Only difference is that the Seasons sardines were packed so tightly (you get more sardines though) when I tried to remove them, they all got crushed. I cannot really say this is the best sardine I have ever tried and to pay almost $[...] (after paying shipping) a can for it, I do not believe it is worth the money. You are better off going to Target or Wal-mart and buy the sardines there. Costco will be much cheaper also.

the best canned sardine you will find anywhere!,

This review is from: Angelo Parodi Brand Portuguese Sardines Skinless and Boneless in Olive Oil 105 Gr (Misc.)
I won't mention any brand names as I don't know the intricacies and implications of what are known as "food disparagement laws," but to say that you could do just as well to buy the tinned fishing bait that sells for $1.19 a can at your local grocery as to buy Angelo Parodi brand is just ludicrous. Trust me, I have tried dozens of different brands of sardines, and these are just flat-out delicious. They have a very mild flavor, almost like tuna. Though your cat will come running when he gets a whiff of these, they are not extremely "fishy" like brands of poorer quality.
Face it. If you don't like sardines, you won't like these. Nor would you like any other brand. However, if you love sardines and have discriminating tastes, i.e., you know the difference between garbage and a truly fine, gourmet product, then these sardines are the best you are going to find. Still need more convincing? Go to your preferred search engine and look up "the great sardine taste-off" and see which cannery got the honor of best-tasting sardine. I found them wonderful and delicious, and hope you do too. To make this worth your while by the time you pay shipping, I would order at least 5 cans. I did. And I was not sorry. I've got one can left and I'm leaving it to age in the pantry until the snacking occasion arises when nothing but a truly fine and delicious sardine will fit the bill.
