    Another Rügenwinner. So much value in these giant herring tins, how can they do this at this price?! The herring was excellent and exactly the texture/moisture/everything that I have come to expect from this company. It’s so satisfying and there’s so much fish. Rügen herring quality is so crazy consistent across all of the tins that I’ve tried and that’s not to take for granted.

    It calls itself “hot tomato” … is it hot? Noooo, no. Heat level is a 1.1 out of 5. But what you get is a wonderfully seasoned tomato sauce, absolutely no need for additional salt or spices. It is a thinner and sweeter sauce but not over the top sweet, it’s also wonderfully *not* ketchup and *not* tomato paste. Difficult to choose a winner between this tin and the paprika tin (which I think tastes a lot like ketchup seasoning -not ketchup itself), they’re very similar flavor profiles but yet still different enough to be worthy of buying both.

    I ate it at room temp, both on its own and then on an unbuttered slice of toast. I’m sure that I’d like it on rice or pasta as well, but you’d maybe need to thicken up the sauce a little if it was over pasta. But no matter how you decide to eat it, this is a very good 4+ star tin at an unbelievable price.

    I found the can to be a little soft metal wise when i first received it, the top able to press in a little with pressure (I messaged Dan about it, and was informed this is normal. So be aware) But did find the tins lid a tiny bit finicky to open. Once open, i was greeted by two large Fillets in a bright red sauce, without much visible oil floating atop it. Upon tasing it, i found t rather sweet and thin. A bit more oily than expected based on how it looked. It had the faintest of a zesty “spice” to it, and not much salt (It pairs well with even more spice, or something to bring those zesty flavors forward).

    The fish itself i found to be softer than something like a kipper, but plenty juicy and with a good mouthfeel. It had more than enough in it to make a meal of its own, or even possibly two meals if you add something else to it. I found it a little sweet to put over pasta without adjustment, but it was stellar on crackers with some
    pickles.

    Overall 7.5/10
