Les Mouettes d’Arvor Sardines in Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Brittany Seaweed

$10.00

In a world filled with unknowns and unknowables, it’s nice to have some things we can depend on. Peanut butter and jelly. Gin and tonic. Oil and vinegar. Sardines and seaweed. These come packed with it. But we recommend adding seaweed to almost everything, which is why we also offer Ao Nori Ko (Powdered Seaweed).

115g (4 oz) tin

    I gently warmed this tin on top of the toaster…
    There are 7 fish in the tin…just buried in seaweed…Nice!
    The flesh is firm and perfectly cooked, with an excellent sardine (fish) flavor.
    The seaweed adds a herbal note and the faintly vinegary sauce finishes the symphony…perfect amount of salt to make everything pop…Delicious!!…
    I had this straight out of the tin with toasted Artisanal Rosemary Bread (SKH), and a side of homemade DS Pickled Green Tomato’s…the rosemary bread was a great match with the flavors of the seaweed, and I used it to sop up every drop of that broth…
    This was a delicious and very satisfying tin…worth the splurge…

    I really enjoyed this tin. All of the layers of flavors work together beautifully. Texture was great and the seaweed was a welcome additional component. Good stuff.

    QUITE different from the Mouettes d’Arvor *mackerel* tin with Brittany seaweed. The seaweed here didn’t bring as much flavor to the party (perhaps I’m missing the extra vinegar tang?) as it did with the mackerel. The sardines here firmer than average and had below average moisture. Salt levels were low as well. Overall this tin left me very confused as to how it could be such a vastly different experience than their seaweed’d mackerel. If you liked the Mouettes d’Arvor yuzu sardine tin then you very well might enjoy this one as the texture/moisture combination is similar. Otherwise I’d happily recommend their (spectacular) lemon confit & chili pepper tin over this one.

    Well, the seaweed was pretty good, if a bit subdued. As noted by another reviewer, the fish themselves were very firm & a bit dry–not quite chalky, but not far from it. They were rather bland & lacking in finesse. Overall, this was another disappointment in my search for fishy ooh-la-la.
