Alshark Moroccan Sardines in Oil

$3.25

I would see these from time to time in the various internet spaces devoted to sardines, and was curious but just never got around to pulling the trigger. Until a friend sent me a photo of the pide one of his chef friends was making with them. I had to make it, and to make it I had to have these sardines. Big sardines, fall apart tender. Spines.

    Clean flavor, ‘fishy’ essence. Oil has no discernable characteristics, almost tastes like sardines in water. Hefty amount of scales. Texture all over the place. Meaty in center, mushy on outside on a few. Generally not mushy though. Overall not super exciting. I’d rather pay a dollar more for a bit more care in the scaling and packaging if eating out of the can. Would be a fine product for putting in recipes like sardine salad or into tomato sauce.

    Tin had 2 large sardines nuzzled inside. At $3.25, I was surprised this was comparable to some tins that are a few dollars more. Lots of scales, but it wasn’t unpleasant. They easily wipe away if you don’t want to eat them. Good tin, good price.

    (basically the same as the spicy version, copied review from there, deleted part about spice)
    The can is absolutely stuffed. These are enjoyable, I ate them straight from the can. The texture is slightly on the drier side and not the most tender, but still good. These are a decent value, but I think next time I’ll go nicer or cheaper depending on the occasion. I liked Bela significantly more for a close competitor.
