Amazon has these Bristling sardines ( Sprats) for $16.76 in olive oil w subscribe and save. They melt in your mouth.I have tried many brands and find these to be very tender and delicious ! They are always whole, not a can of mush like people are saying !

Also and a major also is Brisling Sardines (sprats) have LESS MERCURY than regular sardines .Both are excellent sources of nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamins. In fact, some studies indicate sprats may have a HIGHER omega-3 content than sardines.

Be very careful, these are Sprats, NOT full sized Sardines. You end up with a tin of mush !!

As someone who eats a fair amount of sardines, I would recommend something better. These are very fishy and somewhat mushy. Brunswick or King Oscar is a better bet. I personally prefer Brunswick as they are more solid and the fishiness doesn't overwhelm.

Be very careful of what ? King Oscar brand are Sprats like many others . I have tried many brands and find these to be very tender and delicious ! I have eaten over 54 cans of these sardines and never once ever had a can that looked like that !!They are always whole, not a can of mush like people are saying !

I agree they do taste fishy but after a while you get used to the taste and these are the most tender and have less mercury and more Omega 3's than regular sardines!

I also ate a can just an hour ago, and they were firm, not mushy. Not quite the quality of King Oscar's two-layer brislings, but at less than $1/can, these are great.

Greykite's photo of mushy 'dines appears to be a different product (smoked in EVOO).

I jumped on this! I love sardines! In fact, I have a pasta dish that uses two cans of sardines and is simply delicious! At this price, I figured I'd take a chance on it.

Do sardines even have mercury? I thought heavy metals only accumulate in large predators like tuna. Sardines will only have trace amounts that you might as well pick up by eating an apple or banana
