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

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.

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.

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.

Okay, full disclosure: I buy these for my dogs. It is extremely difficult to get fresh, unoxidized Omega-3 fatty acids in dog food and extremely vital for their nutrition. I make my own raw meat dog food for my 7 collies, and my holistic vet recommended a sardine per day for each of them in lieu of any supplement. These sardines are very affordable and my dogs absolutely love them! I pour a little of the broth over their food as well and it gets them to really dig in to their dinners.

Product came in a tightly packed box of 50. Got exactly what I wanted. Sardines were neatly packed cans inside of boxes. This product is a solid deal for the price. Would recommend if you need sardines.

These are not descaled. I didn’t know companies skipped the descaling process until I opened these. Each can has 3 small sardines, mostly water. If you make your own cat food I’d say good value. I purchased these for human consumption. Very disappointing to get a mouth full of scales with every bite. Disgusting!

I bought these to feed the giant egrets that come to my waterfront deck. They seem to like them and don't mind a scale or two. LOL The first tin had 6 sardines and the second one had 5 sardines so they are fairly small. These are just right to give to the birds. The birds do not seem to want to heed the social distancing guidelines since they take them right out of my hand and even clean up any pieces they drop on the deck.

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.
