I bought this by the case because a nutritionist that I consulted told me to feed this to my dogs. I drain the water and then rinse excess salt off. Sardines have several nutritional benefits to the heart. One of my dogs is in end stage heart failure and it provides heart healthy supplement for her. My healthy male also gets them to hopefully slow down or prevent heart failure for him (common in the Doberman breed). The only thing I dislike is the smell lol. Yuck!!

Sardines are high in Vitamin B12 which is something I need a lot of. These are very tasty and I will buy them again. The only word of caution I have is that they are very salty. 730mg of sodium in a can! Often I eat half a can at a time because they are so salty. And I always drink a lot of water with these. They will keep in the fridge if you are "creative" in keeping the fishy smell tightly contained in something glass. I noticed glass keeps the smell better than plastic.

i have purchased this brand in stores before--these are not the same !!!!
1 . these are packed in--- soy oil---the ones i purchased a local store were packed in olive oil
which is a healthy oil .
2 . very very weak mustard flavor .
3 . this product contains ---corn flour---
4 . Amazon ---we want to see the back of all products---so we know ingredients
BEFORE WE BUY

THANK YOU

First of all, I do NOT eat fish because I don't like the flavor/taste, and I certainly do NOT eat sardines, BUT because I needed to raise my B12, Vitamin D, and needed Omega-3, I opted to try to eat sardines.

I tried 5 different brands of sardines; some were packed in olive oil, soybean oil, and water. My gag reflex was working over time, and I never thought I'd be able to ever eat them until ... .I bought these Crown Prince Sardines packed in water. They tasted more like tuna than sardines, which in my opinion was an improvement.

I chopped the sardines into a paste, spread them on bread with a little mustard, and chased eat bite with a swallow of Sprite. After a week, I am now up to eating a half a can in one sitting. Crown Prince packed in water are the sardines you want if you do NOT want a fishy taste. Of course, you're eating sardines, so they are 'fishy,' but not as strong as the other brands I tried.

I don't eat fish so I have no idea how these taste. I feed them to the cats. However, I will say that they arrived well packed and in good condition. They seem to be larger than average for sardines. Also, they don't stink as bad as the ones I had purchased before at a big box store. The cats eat them with more gusto, and so I can only guess that means they taste better. Also I didn't see as many slipped off empty skins as I'm used to seeing in other water pack sardines.
