Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 4.4 Ounce Wild Caught Sardines, Responsibly Sourced, Packed By Hand, Low Sodium, High in Protein, Keto, Paleo, Sardines in Olive Oil (Pack of 12)

Tonight on the gulf coast of Alabama with temperatures at 85°F or more today and a whopping 95% humidity I was going to open a can of Mina's and enjoy the goodness straight out of the can without any prep time. I had cut extra vegetables this morning and decided to cook the asparagus tomato onion and sweet bell peppers for 4 min. Well I went this far so I took another 4 min. To cook some ramen noodles. What a great simple meal it was.I was thinking about this review and thought mina's are Moroccan. I read the box and saw in print the exact words that I was thinking to describe this fish: " ...our sardines are artisanally prepared and packed in EVOO. The result is a tender mild sardine with a delicate taste of the sea." I concur 100%. The very good medium bodied oil has nutty overtones as wellTotal prep and clean-up time was about 13 minutes yet 1 hr. after enjoying my meal I've got a smile on my face and a full tummy. So good was the meal I topped it off with a spoonful of almond butter and a little raw local honey. Life is good! Thankyou all the dedicated Mina persons who did their part to make this can of sardines for me a very pleasurable eating experience. People pick up some cans for yourself and enjoy the taste sensations.Greybeard

My reason for buying bulk packs of sardines online is that I'm trying to add sardines as a dietary staple due to the health benefits. Because of that, the sardines i buy need to meet a few criteria.1) they must have skin and bones2) they must be packaged in olive oil3) they must be affordable4) they should taste good5) they should not be extremely high in sodiumInitially, i was using Chicken of the Sea sardines in olive oil. Those come in an 18 pack and are slightly cheaper. However i noticed that while these come in a 12 pack, they are much closer in price than i originally thought. These Mina sardines have double the protine content per can than the COS brand. They also have much lower sodium, especially when compared to the protine content. I can reasonably satisfy myself with one can of these, whereas the COS brand needed 2 cans. I think if your looking for a healthy supply of sardines that isn't going to break the bank, this is the best value.I do like the flavor of these sardines, but they are very large fish with a solid texture. The bones have a fair amount of crunch to them. I know some people prefer the smaller delicate style like you get with Brisling sardines. These are not like that. They are much closer to Wild Planet sardines in terms of size. I think the oil tastes better in these Mina sardines than Wild Planet personally.For now, these are going to be my go to brand. I may treat myself to something a bit pricier on occasion for the more gourmet style, but I don't think I'll be able to beat these for value.

Sardines in tins come in all shapes and tastes, and this Mina brand is among the best I have tasted--but short of the experience produced by sardines on the grill just after they have been fished out of the Mediterranean... But I digress... Anyway, to increase my protein/omega 3 intake, I bought a couple of cans at my local grocery store and after they passed the tasting exam, I decided to go the the twelve pack. They are soaked in olive oil, they come small/medium size and there's no need to peel scales or remove bones. Did I say bang for the buck? If I stick to my protein/omega 3 regimen, I will likely go for the automatic subscription. Peel the cover and enjoy!!!

These are really good sardines. They are caught off the coast in Morocco, whis is not too far away from Portugal, so basically the same region of the Atlantic ocean. They are good sized, probably considered medium, and have a nice texture to them. They are not mushy, and the bones were soft. I did not see any scales on the 2 tins that I have tried, and both of those had 4 fish in each. If there are bigger ones, then there may only be 3 instead. Time will tell. I will come back as I open more tins. The olive oil actually good. Some sardine tins have a light olive oil, but this is dark in color with a rich taste. Overall a good combo of olive oil and sardines. Not the best, but still good and from the same area of ocean where the good portuguese sardines are taken from.
