Description
Ingredients: sardines (Sardina pilchardus), olive oil, red pepper and salt.
The terms “spiced” and “spicy” are used pretty much interchangeably in the tinned fish world, to mean two different things: with a hot pepper (or hot pepper flavor), and with cloves/bay/carrot/hot pepper. There are many examples of both terms being used to mean both things.
We are so frustrated by how widespread this confusing inconsistent usage is that we’ve gone through our entire product line to correct the incorrect ones such that our description of “spiced” or “spicy” will always indicate which it really is, regardless of the packaging. “Spicy” = with hot pepper flavor. “Spiced” = with the cloves/bay/carrot/hot pepper flavors.

Delicious. Just the right amount spicy!

So good. We pulled these out before going out with some friends for the night (risky move, I know). Friends weren’t very familiar with tinned sardines beyond what can be found at a typical grocery store– I think these were a pleasant surprise! Though packed in oil, the meat itself isn’t oily. There’s a lot of meat, too, and the fish held together beautifully. We ate them straight out of the tin. The flavor of the fish and the amount of spice struck an absolutely perfect balance. I’ll be ordering these again to share… along with an extra, just for me.
