    I haven’t been a huge fan of Tiny Fish Co products in the past but I decided to give this one a try as I was curious about sole. The ingredient list was also short, which I thought would let the sole really shine. And after having this tin, I’m sad to say that I couldn’t tell you what sole tasted like. 🙁 The strongest flavors for me were lemon and olive oil. There was a lot of olive oil, and while the lemon was a teeny tiny sliver, like maybe an inch, the flavor came through strongly. The fish seemed like a bunch of pieces that were stuck together in the tin but once I started to remove them, it all started to crumble apart? It was very, very, very soft and it didn’t hold its shape at all. Given how assertive the olive oil is, and the strong lemon flavor, the taste was dominated by them and I couldn’t tell you what the sole tasted like… Overall this tin was not bad compared to the other tins I’ve had from this brand, but I also wouldn’t say that I liked it. I’d eat it again if it was in front of me but I don’t think I’d buy it myself again at its full price.

    Based on the first review, I tasted several bites right out of the can. It’s true the flavor is subtle—sole is subtle—but I did think well of it. And the Like Family olive oil is tops—yum. I like that both companies are, based on all I’ve read, careful stewards of the planet. I can taste the do-gooder-ness!

    Yes, it’s a pricy tin, but for me it’s also a lovely treat. Not an everyday extravagance, but I do think I’ll buy it again from time to time.

    Oregon has 9 species of sole and other flounders. While Tiny Fish Co doesn’t specify which variety this is, it’s quite tasty. Unlike the flounder from the Southeastern USA that I’ve been used to, this had a distinctive “fish” taste, with a forward fish note in the fresh olive oil. This was cut delightfully with the lemon – upon opening the tin, they’d placed a half-moon of rind on top. The lemon essence didn’t taste artificial at all and was carefully balanced against the oily, fishy nature of the sole. The texture was on the firm side and excellently prepared.
    Given the price, I’d recommend this mostly to fish-heads who’re looking for the next hip thing! It’d also be fun to put this tin in a blind taste test with some other oilier fish (like a mackerel) with a squeeze of lemon.
    I give this tin 5/5 for showing exactly how much sole Oregon has.
