SARDINES IN OLIVE OIL (4.2 OZ)

The hand-packing really shows — these fillets stayed whole with no mushy bits, and the olive oil is clean enough to dip bread in. Four little fish in a tin is a perfect lunch with crackers.

Finally got a can that doesn't taste overly fishy or mushy—the hand-packed texture is firm and clean. The olive oil itself is surprisingly light and buttery, perfect for spreading on crusty bread.

I wasn't expecting much from a tin of sardines, but these are firm and meaty, not mushy like the cheap ones I used to buy. Packed in olive oil, so I drained a bit and mashed them onto toast with lemon — easily my new lunch staple.
