 Close but No Cigar January 30, 2008

We all know that sardines are almost a perfect food, though they clearly are an acquired taste. I happen to love brisling sardines and eat them regularly with European style whole grain bread for lunch with iced tea. I'm 100% Norwegian, so perhaps I have fish oil in my blood.
When I came upon this product I was very excited. My local specialty grocer, Trader Joe's, recently discontinued offering King Oscar Cross Pack Extra Small Norwegian Brisling Sardines in olive oil and I was bereft, at least until I found these sardines from Crown Prince. I immediately ordered two cases from Amazon.
These are acceptable sardines but I have to say they are decidedly second class when compared with those offered by King Oscar. Perhaps it is the fact Crown Prince sardines are "wood smoked" that dries them out, but that is my primary objection. King Oscar sardines are bathed in olive oil, moist and succulent. Yes, the Crown Prince product has olive oil in the bottom of the can but the sardines themselves remain dry. I've even taken to storing the boxes upside down in the hope the olive oil will permeate the sardines. Thus far, my efforts have failed. Perhaps the problem is the sardines themselves are a bit bigger than those "extra small" sardines from King Oscar.
Sadly, despite my communication with the producer and distributor, I've been unable to locate a vendor either locally or online who carry my preferred sardines in the distinctive black box. I will eat the Crown Prince sardines, reminding myself of their excellent health benefits. I may even buy more of them if I'm unable to discover someone selling King Oscar but I will sorely miss the joy of eating sardines!

I used to eat "tiny tots" sardines, but these are even smaller and fresher! If you enjoy eating delicious sardines, you will love these!

So delicious these, I eat them without condiment. Too bad a lot more costly. Okay for a treat.

I recently made the switch from lifelong vegetarian to unapologetic carnivore. However, I didn't want to eat grain-fed meat so I started searching for alternatives. The grass-fed meats are beyond my budget. This week, I found these wonderful sardines. They are nothing like the fish steaks packaged as sardines that one finds at most markets. With a sprinkle of cayenne pepper and a bit of fresh lemon juice, they're a gourment (and health) treat.

As a fan of sardines, we have noted that they have disappeared from our grocery shelves. There are some cans of very large fish but none of the little tastey ones. I was delighted to find a supply from Amazon. I love the olive oil type and didn't choose the skinless and boneless type because I want the real flavor. The price was right and the delivery was very good. The sardines were as I had remembered. However, the flavor was not as rich as I prefer. More like the water packed type. Maybe my taste buds are just getting old
