I'm 75 yrs old. Got my first taste of sardines compliments of a hobo who was passing through my town in the 1950s. I've been a sardine lover ever since.

I'm a little late to see this. But, I have to tell you, I totally enjoyed watching you do this sardine and herring taste test❣️ I love canned sardines, herring, mackerel, smoked oysters, and even anchovies 😋 My dad raised me right! 🤣

I grew up in New Orleans but live in Texas now. Subscribed as soon as i heard him talk.

King Oscar for me all day long, especially the Mediterranean style.

Love canned fish. Excellent post sir. I’d destroy all of them but prefer a kipper on a club with Tabasco 🤙

King Oscar Mediterranean is my favorite by far. It is my go to sardine. Excellent flavor, texture and quality. Plus I prefer my canned fish in olive oil.

Just recently started my own sardine taste tests. Only tried 3 on this video, Season, Brunswick and Great Value. Ate half a Great Value, gave the remainder to my dog. Ate half a Brunswick, gave the remainder to my dog. Ate half a Season, ate the remainder myself. My personal favorites so far are the Polar smoked Brisling sardines.

Your awesome what a cozy and informational video thanks.

The brunswick kipper snacks are one of my favorite canned fishes I love em

King Oscar are by far the best sardines in my opinion.. The only kind I'll eat, and I eat a lot of sardines..

I have fond memories of my dad eating sardines, Mackerel and Smoked Oysters. I have always loved any form of canned oily fish. I have always ate 2 cans of sardines a week for the last thirty years. When you don't want to be bothered by the wife or kids down a can of Sardines or Mackerel before the night is over you will be left alone, Or you will get the whole bed for the night. LOL

Thanks for the taste test. Loved hearing the rain and thunder.

This is the most honest and trustworthy food review video I have ever seen. You mukbang fans need some help.

You're doing God's work, Sir. Thank you for not leading us astray.

My grandad, who introduced me to sardines when I was 3-4 years old, always insisted that the cheaper the sardine, the better. Bourbon too.

Great video!

What a great idea! Thank you. Keep them coming!

I did a similar taste taste, including a number of expensive European brands. King Oscar came out on top for me.

I like the ones in olive oil. Dump the whole can in a salad and be done with it.

Sardines are one of the most nutritious foods in a can. I eat anything from the ocean. I've loved sardines my whole life. My wife however, hates sardines. So I eat my sardines out in my shop. Sometimes I catch em from my kayak. Very good food.

Thank you! This was VERY HELPFUL 👍👍👍

I've also tried a lot of "sardines " My favorite were the New Brunswick packed in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Love me some canned seafood. I grew up extremely poor with 6 siblings. My dad and I were the only ones who enjoyed sardines so we were guaranteed to always have a snack in the pantry. Now that I'm older and slightly richer, the best sardines I've had are Nuri sardines from Portugal. They cost a fortune as far as sardines go but damn are they good. I never go camping or fishing without them. There's also a Hawaiian dish made with canned sardines that's really good. Can't think of the name right now but you can find recipes on KZfaq for it.

I like the sardines in mustard sauce!

trader Joe's best sardines !!

I grew up eating sardines because I’m Portuguese and grew up in Northern California.. recently moved to Portugal to retire and the sardines here are so much better and fresh.

Being a Canadian citizen, I'll have to go with the Brunswick brand that I've been eating regularly for 60+ years, I enjoy their Sardines and Herring in their different flavours...BTW their Sardines come in a more squarish can, not like the elongated Herring can!

I just found this video! Now Radig, as a fellow SE Louisiana kayak fisherman I'm saying: " What is this guy doing eating sardines?" Then I thought, "Oh yeah! We coonasses will eat anything that swims (and many things that don't swim)! Seriously, it was a great video - you did a great job! I like sardines myself - great food to store for the apocalypse!

This man loves sardines. Most people think they're gross. They are an aquired taste. I only eat them for their nutritional goodness

You even wore your Gordon's Fisherman shirt for the filming! I love some Sardines packed in LA Hot Sauce

Thank you for a very informative video.

Thank you for this my good man! I enjoyed this a great deal! 🎣

Sure done made me hungry! Thumbs up video ~John

Sprats

TY, Now I can eat my sardines, the Season brand. Give this guy some lemon.

Ty i have heard great things about great value sardines from walmart in water , buying in 2 weeks 100 cans, ty for showing me what they look like.

I stumbled upon this video and can so relate. Love canned fish as well as fresh fish. Thanks for enlightening me on all the better brands than what is available at my local Costco.

ED here, luv the polar wood smoked. the larger the fish the stronger, stinkery they are! beachcliff usually strong. king oscar are smaller and milder.

I love Sardines. Growing up in the Caribbean, It was the Brunswick Brand from Canada, it was delicious.

Man ! I love Sardines ! I like mine in hot sauce ! And also with some cocktail sauce! King Oscar is hard to beat but the 88 cent walmart sardines are an awesome value and delicious! Great video, Hooked on sardines for life ! Love them ! Right out of the can ! I miss the old days with the roll up key for the can ...

Great video, thanks for your time. Doc said I need to lower my LDL so here I come Sardines. Also I spy a couple nice Foxes

Absolutely delightful. I personally love Season brand whole sardines in EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), eat at least 2 cans a week!

I really like the sea cliff deer

Thanks for your wonderful video! Canned fish especially sardines are so neglected by people. I enjoyed the comments. Sardine lovers unite & spread the good news!😂❤❤

❤ canned sardines too.....and the herring and kipper ones are very good too 👍🏼

2/19/23......Sardines, ROCK!.....Weekly sardine eater, here! They are great in chicken broth,...makes a swell, poor man's fish soup. Had it for dinner last night. Plus croutons. I eat all the brands you are showing. An inexpensive meal, plus they are an excellent source of protein, plus Omega 3 vitamin benefits. Kippered Herring fillets is another favorite of mine. They provide you a cheap meal that is GOOD for you. I'm almost 70 years old, been eating them since I was a kid. Back when the tins required you use a built-in, metal "key", to pull back the top. Sometimes the present day, modern tins, will not open properly. It is possible the pull tab will fail, and you could be "shit-out-luck", in terms of opening them, if you don't have a mechanical rotary can opener, in your kitchen tool drawer. That is really a rare occurrence. They are better than eating a cookie, to stave off hunger. They are mild, and usually low in salt. They taste good in salads, even though I am not a fan of salads, Ha! They are a perfect "emergency" food. Keep some cans in your car, they never go bad. Great for camping trips. If your power ever goes out during a winter storm, they will keep you alive and satisfied. I used to add A-1 steak sauce, poured over a serving, when I wanted to be "fancy". Delish!

They're back in style and good for you too!

Thanks for doing something I've always wanted to try: a lot of different sardines in a side-by-side taste test. I'm a King Oscar fan, but I will be more open minded about other brands, having watched you. Thanks a million!

When I was growing up King Oscar brisling sardines were in sild (fish oil) and packed in Norway. They were the best.

I love it when the underdog does good. Sardines got me through the first six months of my deployment in Iraq in 03. But damn this man loves his sardines. I love a man enjoying his sardines.

That was a great video !!! I love sardines and I have and have since I was a kid. About 60 years ago....long time. I've tried every one that you had and I will say that the Polar kippers are pretty damn good. My favorite is and always has been the Brunswick kippers. Now , I will say that they have changed a bit over the years but I love em. Nothing wrong with the King Oscars sardines. There isn't anything wrong with any sardine or kipper. Just my 2 cents worth. Thank you for this great video. I'll look for more of your videos!!!

Fun video. I'm not a big fan of canned fish, but I eat sardines for their nutritional value. I usually buy whatever is the most inexpensive. Glad to see my choices meet with your approval.

Great video. Love your taste comments on the "Sardines en boîte" 😀🍴Very gastronomic. Salutations from France 🇫🇷

There's a few brands with mustard or tomato sauce I love. I've had all the brands you showed here. I agree with you about nutrients missing on the skinned and deboned types. Costco has a nice brand here in Louisiana. My favorite way to eat sardines is in a sandwich with thin-sliced onions, mustard and maybe some capers or sliced pepproncini. The herring I just like straight out of the tin. You mention canned salmon: makes the best "burger" patties. The best smoked herring, etc., I've ever had came from a Deli in Los Angeles where they sell the whole fish. My Polish in-laws always served herring in white sauce from a jar at holiday meals. Good stuff.

Love the video...❤❤

Great video! Best part for me? I haven’t thought about that church key and rolling back the top of the tin in forever. I like the tin with the foil. Good idea. Great lunch with a cold beer or some white wine. Excellent!

So, it appears that the best tasting plain sardine to you was the Season. I actually agree with that👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I have The Seasons cans in my cubard ready to eat.

Thank you for this! I'm going to give them a try too.

The kippers I remember from childhood were dried salted red herrings and they didn't come in a can. They weren't juicy. I started hankering for them and had to special-order them from Jamaica. They have largely disappeared in the US.

I like them chilled in the fridge, plus they seem to come out of the can more intact that way. My go to brand is Brunswick herring in olive oil. I used to prefer the dill mustard version, but tastes change I guess. Now I like the plain olive oil. I'll have to try the cheaper brands.

Excellent video Brunswick my favorite

Sittin here wishin, I could go fishin, tweedlo twill, over the hill. (A song by Gene Audry 1942). You look like a captain I could go fishing with. So many of them are too difficult to be around! Thanks for a great fun video! Tight lines and good luck!

i opened a tin of king oscar and joined you!

King Oscar makes a version called "Tiny Tots", which are smaller sardines. They are excellent. A lot of the cold water fish from Thailand, like salmon and tuna, and I assume sardines, are really cold water fish that are processed on factory ships in Thailand. For example, there are no salmon native to Thailand, or any other tropical country. If you ever go to Japan, in sushi bars order iwashi, which is the Japanese word for sardines. They are excellent, and are one of the least expensive things to order.

The sardine oil dripping on your shirt made me give you a like and a comment. You'd make the best neighbor

You must be the friend of every cat in the neighborhood!

Great Review!

Thank you for making this video!

King Oscar are my go to sardines, hands down.

I eat 2 of those king oscars (plain ones) a week for a quick lunch at work. Add a little mustard and salt and they are fantastic and a true superfood.

I was getting ready to get some canned smoked herring, then I remembered this review. It is raining out, LOL

I actually live in New Brunswick, where the Brunswick sardines come from. What I find amusing is that you don't fish in the rain. Of course it's snowing here...

I eat sardines and herring often. I only buy if they are not packed in oil. Packed in oil is a crap shoot - olive oil is not likely to be of high quality and vegetable oils are very inflammatory. My preferred fish isVita brand herring is wine sauce or in cream sauce. I love fried herring (bratherring) and herring in mustard sauce. Even packed in water is better than oil. And I'm with you: skin and bones. Need that collagen. I found this video very informative. Thanks.

I love sardines, the Canadian style sardines by Brunswick are my go to but there are plenty of types of sardines where I live in the UK as well as pilchards, another oily fish I love is mackerel, good video and good on you for your sardine habit. Not enough people have one.

Mashed sardines, brunwick brand, diced onion, white vinegar, bread/toast. A real treat when i was a kid. 😊

I love these products, as a boy (55 years ago) we would have for Dinner Herring in tomato sauce, with mashed potatoes with finely chopped raw onion mixed though the mashed potatoes, Enjoyed your video

I’ve been eating the King Oscar sardines for the past couple of years. I’ve seen those Cliff House sardines at the dollar store but was weary about trying them. I might give them a try now.

I had to stop and watch this. I love Sardines and Kipper Snacks. I couldn't tell you how many cans of the Polar brand I've bought over the years.

i want sardines now for sure ! they all look great ! i do like Polar brand a lot ! you are cool AF ! you like them all ! 😆 nothin wrong with that ! you did say witch one you like better so thats cool !

Cool video. I'm going to get my 1st sardines ever tomorrow, gotta make sure I get the good ones. I'm on a sardine video binge and I can't get them out of my head. People really seem like love them. You seem like an easy going person from the way you carry yourself.

Brunswick in Canada is the biggest Sardine canning facility in the entire world. They use sardines from the cold north.

This review is right on the money!

Nuri caned sardines from Portugal.... Thank me later :) ... Sardines in or out of can very underrated .

Looove sardines!!

Fun to watch enjoyed the thunder don't get much in San Diego 😂

👍 good job.

Soybean oil is a deal-breaker. Tried some Nuri brand from Portugal recently. Very good quality, but expensive.

Well, I was planning to have a full English breakfast. But your video was so entertaining that I had to pause it midway to search for a can of sardines so I could eat Sardines on toast. Thanks for making my day. Hope the rain cleared up. I subscribed....

Trader Joe’s and Season are both very good tasting. I haven’t tried a brand I didn’t like.

Great video, and I concur on your ratings. Polar, and every other can from Germany I've had are excellent, but usually the most expensive. Brunswick has a kipper called "Golden Smoked" I find them to be smoked more than the standard and much closer to Polar in texture. Keep an eye out for them.

Good video!

I've been eating sardines since at least the fourth grade when it was a great way to clear out a table of girls so my buds had a place to sit in the school cafeteria. NEVER cut my hands or fingers.

I prefer mine packed in water but get along fine with most brands. I just tried those Brunswick fillets last week. Only got one tin since I'd never seen them before. I'll be grabbing more of those later. The kipper snacks I've been on come in a paper box, don't recall the name but good and smokey. Great snacks to have around for the keto diet.

Good review

I always come back to this video cause he makes me want to eat canned sardine for the 1st time. 😊

I've had them all and I like all of them especially with pepper vinager 😋

I've had all of these, the Brunswick herring is the best. I like the Brunswick sardines too. Got to be in oil.

oh now i gotta go get a few cans, it sounds so good!

Great Value sardines are excellent for under a buck. I eat them exclusively. 2 cans a day.
