Pacific Crest Sardines in Water, 4.4-Ounce, (Pack of 50)

These sardines are a great price, the packaging is good and they taste good. All three species that reside in my house like them. So from food prep stance they are very convenient. They come with their bones in and skin on. The bones make them a valuable source of Calcium, I believe 425 mg per can. The skin on helps retain their fat. They are a good source of Omega 3 fat and should have a good Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio. Less than 4. I did not get them with the intent of eating them myself. However, I tried them and found them quite tasty. They are good in a salad. You can easily remove the bones if you wish. For two humans, two, 65 pound dogs and one cat we use about five cans per week. The dogs and the cat both like the brine water. There is zero waste. The box they came in takes up very little space in the pantry. I will purchase these again.

These are fantastic tasting and easy to use. I have them every morning scrambled in my eggs with cheese and garlic. High protein and yummy. The 50 pack is great because I use two a day and I don't have to reorder as often. By the way, the oil sardines are great too. I order a box of each and you can mix them up. Yum!

Exactly what I expected canned sardines to be. They were as good as any I have had. Not mushy, not too salty. Not exactly my favorite food but healthy and affordable and don't require refrigeration so you can take them on trips. My dogs love them and they are very healthy for them as well supplying Omega 3s and high quality protein.

I buy these wonderful sardines because they are so delicious and because they have the skin and bones in ! It is very difficult to find sardines with their skin and bones , defeating the purpose of eating them. A can of Sardines with their skin, scales and bones provide nearly half of the calcium a person needs each day !!

5-stars is a bit generous for this one; everything was great except the packaging could have been slightly better. Each can is in a thin cardboard box, those 50 boxes are in a corrugated cardboard box and that was in another corrugated cardboard box but there was room for and there should have been some peanuts or something between the two corrugated cardboard boxes. All looked fine until I opened the outermost box and saw a large grease-soaked corner on the inner box and a bad smell. Didn't notice any damage to the outer box, so maybe it was packed damaged. Had been banged on the corner and the corner can had split and oil leaked out into packaging and smelled like there was a dead rat (okay, dead fish) in there. Incredibly disgusting. Smelled like it had been rotting longer than the transit time. I cleaned out the rotted stuff and kept the rest. 49 out of 50 aint bad, apparently. For the price. They taste fine and I'm not bothered by bones & small quantity of scales.

I was so excited to find these wild caught sardines for a good price. I recently had the first can and boy was I disappointed. These were some of the nastiest sardines I have ever tasted . . . and I normally love sardines. Big disappointment. don't Buy Them!!!!! I could not even finish 1 can.

I've already eaten a few cans since my shipment arrived just a few days ago - and they are delicious; when my shipment arrived I ate just one can, just to try them out - and I loved them; I wanted to finish off the other brand (totally inferior) that I had already. I could barely wait before digging in with these. Much better, if not superior, so far,to the other brands I've been forced to stick with around here from Wal-Mart or the local grocery stores. The household resident His Majesty The Cat (he runs things around here) loves them too. I noticed one commenter said their cat(s) and/or dogs don't like them. No wonder - the way people are buying all these pet foods, loaded with all kinds of crap, scientifically taste-engineered to keep the veterinarian industry's money flowing with all the unhealthy animals that are being sugar-coatingly poisoned by their unwary keepers (owners). The only draw-backs, and they're so miniscule to me they're hardly worth mentioning, and that's the EZ open can isn't all that easily opened unless you want the brine gushing out all over the place. Also, the brine is rather on the salty side. I don't know where one commenter said these are "no salt added"; not only can you taste it - it says so on the wrapper-box. I usually don't eat any canned fish anyways without straining them, letting them soak in some distilled water for a while, and then I take the bones out (no need for all that calcium unless you like it when your eyes feel like they've got sand in them and also caking up your eyelids). All that in the above paragraph (about the draw-backs) being said it's still 5 stars overall to me (definitely helps me with maintaining a predominantly carnivorous diet). Great tasting fish and can't beat the price, even though the price went up about a buck since I placed my order.

The product seems high quality and was a great price, but the sodium content was MUCH higher than we expected - 320 mg per tin. I knew the product contained salt on the ingredient list, but the manufacturer didn't provide a nutritional label, so it was impossible to find this out until we had already purchased a case. There's also an unnecessary amount of packaging, which isn't a huge deal, but not great for the environment if the manufacturer chooses to make changes at some point.
