This review is from: Crown Prince Two Layer Brisling Sardines in Soy Bean Oil, 3.75-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) (Grocery)

I have recently read an article on salmon fishing, in "BEST LIFE" magazine. It reports, sadly, that salmon, (and presumably other fish), taken from Norwegian seas has a very good chance of having a lot of pollutants, due to "fish-farming" in most of these waters. The waters of Scotland come off much better than Norwegian waters -- even for wild-caught fish. The Bristling Sardines from Crown Prince, here reviewed, are both from the waters of Scotland, AND are wild caught! So, one can eat them without much of the fear of mercury or other poisoning, currently associated with eating fish!

Soybean oil may not be as good for one as Olive oil...but one does save by buying fish in soybean instead of olive oil. The fish are covered with the oil, of course, but if one is careful, and s.l.o..w...(especially in taking off the flip top lid), the oil will stay mainly in the container, and not go onto table or into the sink. The sardines are semi-dry -- and extremely tasty! The heads have all been cut off, of course...but some of the tails do remain. The sardines are, indeed, "packed like sardines"...very closely together. One does get a full 3 3/4 ounces, as stated on the individual cardboard package in which each tin comes, and there is NOT an excessive amount of oil --just enough to keep the sardines covered and as moist as possible. However, I do wish that Crown Prince -- and every other brand of sardines -- would list a "Net DRAINED Weight", so one could get an idea of how much fish, and how much, (usually uneaten) oil, is present.

The taste is adequate -- though I've had better from other brands. However, a little bit of sugar, and/or spices, help with the flavour of anything. For the price, this is a good deal for anyone who likes to eat sardines!
