Review: Less Fishy; EXCELLENT smoky flavor - These are the very best sardines I have ever tasted, and I've tried a LOT of brands and flavor profiles. Not fishy at all, although quite salty if you're sensitive to sodium. I happen to love them. I love that they are packed in OLIVE OIL, not dangerous seed oils like sunflower, canola, etc. The seasoning in impeccable and even my 5 y/o and 8 y/o grandkids LOVE THEM.
Review: Value + Omega 3 Biohack - For the price, this is a fantastic value. Are they the best-tasting sardines available? No. But they taste good, and everything about it looks like a quality product. AND research shows that olive oil (taken at the same time as Omega 3) is very helpful at getting Omega 3 (from the sardines in this case) into your cells where it has great benefits.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the KO Tiny Tots the best ones or are the Crown Prince as small & good? What happened to the KO Extra Smalls? Thank you.**
A: The smallest sardines are brisling, and the smallest brislings will be cross-packed.  As another indicator of fish size, each tin will usually state the rough # of fish they hold.  You will see that cross packed brislings are the smallest sardine packed in at about 30 fish per tin, then two layer packing at around 18 fish per tin, then single layer at about 10, then up to non-brisling single layer from non KO brands which will have like 3 sardines in the same sized tin.

**Q: Is the sardine boneless?**
A: These have SKIN AND BONE IN because it says 1800 mg of Omega 3s....King Oscar has a skinless and boneless brand with 1300 mg of Omega 3s, that's how you know  the difference 🙂👍

**Q: Where are they packed?**
A: I bought some recently - Nov 2019. Says "Packed in Poland".

**Q: Why does catching sardines using purse seine nets make filleting and gutting redundant?**
A: Thanks for reaching out! Purse seine fishing is a practice by which the fish are able to pass any inedible materials prior to being hauled aboard. 
We hope this helps answer your question. Thanks again for reaching out!
