Find Best Price at Amazon"Three main reasons why I chose and recommend Wild Planet sardines: 1) Tastes good! In all seriousness, I don't know of anyone that would really open a can of sardines this size, measure out 2 oz to eat, so here it goes. -- Excellent source of protein -25g /can. -- Excellent source of Omega 3 that you can EAT instead of taking pills. Each can contains 313mg EPA Omega 3 and 688mg DHA Omega 3. This is comparable to 2 soft gels of Amazon's best-selling omega 3 nutritional supplements:Nordic Naturals - Ultimate Omega, 1000 mg, 180 softgels But why take it in pill form when you can eat as part of one of your meals with all the added extra nutrients right? -- Good source of Iron (over 25%DV)and Selenium (over 50%DV) and. -- Also, as a bonus, contains Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a nutrient found in the body cells and believed to have an antioxidant and immune system boosting properties. According SeafoodWatch, Pacific sardines are rated "Best Choice" compared to Atlantic or Mediterranean sardines because there's little bycatch and low habitat impacts. So, tastes good, good for you, good for the ocean and not to mention good price here, what more could you ask for?"
"I have a friend who suggested crisping sardines in olive oil, with a bit of salt and pepper, so I just emptied the can into a pan and sauteed them up!"
"1st order 1st pack of 21 cans was as good as 4th order and 3rd order the sardines were bigger so lesser tasty sardines than 1st and 4th order ."
"Easily the best tasting sardines I've had."
"The sardines are well-processed and the tomato sauce is really delicious - cheaper brands can leave a funny after-taste."
"I usually add Tabasco, lemon juice, splash of red wine vinegar, chives and or dill weed."
"Eating smaller fish is healthier for your body and the ocean."
"We like the wild planet products, pricey, but worth it!"
Hand packed raw into BPA free cans without added oil, water or fillers and cooked once to retain the Omega 3-rich natural juices.

When Fukushima reactor leaked radioactive particles in the Pacific Ocean the contamination found it way along the California coast."
"Then I tried this product and it approaches the tuna in those tuna salad sandwiches I liked so much."
"Really good tuna!"
"I add a little dijon mustard, some chopped apples, shredded carrots and poppy seeds, and dang, lunch tastes really good!"
"This tuna is the best!"
"I bought this after seeing a post on my FG timeline comparing the different brands of tuna and how they are harvested."
"This was for my husband and he loves it and eats it offen in sandwiches."
"This remains the best tasting tuna (other than one Italian brand I tried that is not sustainably caught.)."
Known for great flavor, texture and appearance, our albacore tuna comes from around the world.

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I add fresh Garlic, chopped onion and some Turmeric and Chives."
"Probably the best canned food in my opinions, when I look at can foods it must be worth it, in terms of packing the calories and enough fat to make it good but not to when it freezes a layer, light in sodium so it still can be adjusted for flavors, and as I have a very fast metabolism I require things that doesnt dissolve in 30 mins after eating it."
"Fry or poach a couple eggs, place them on top of the hash, a couple slices of toast and you're in Hash Heave. I sometime do cream gravy, and put the hash on top of a couple slices of toast, gravy on top, and a couple poached eggs on the side..or fried."
"I think the reduced sodium tastes better than the regular higher sodium version of this corned beef hash."
"And even though I try to avoid cans, I originally tried this corned beef for a trip we were taking ( I often have to cook a bit because my husband has a limited diet) ... And and I found these to be a great emergency staple for our cupboard."
"It's been harder and harder to find decent corned beef hash."
"Unlike other canned corned beef hashes, it did not melt into a pool of greasy slime when heated."
"This item comes in a shrink wrapped pack of 12."

"They are perfect for my shellies, If you are using them in an aquarium make sure to wash them or even boil them."
"I would buy this again."
"These fine, little, crawling the earth delicacies fit nicely into my 6 cavity baking dishes."
"They're quite good although the Helix Aspersum are better."

"Something is going on with the packing, because it's not like it's easy to crush a can that is completely full, and these things were pretty severely squashed."
"Ok, so I had a coupon for a free Amazon pantry box and was out of pumpkin for my dogs!"
"Was excited to try this brand as I looked for a more reliable source of pumpkin for my pups (why the stores cannot keep it in stock year around baffles me)."
"Since we started adding pumpkin to his diet (along with only wet food and lots of water) he's become regular and isn't passing hard dry shriveled up poop."
"got this for our aging akita dog when she started having tummy issues."
"~LOVE this EATHY product for me & my Precious Pac of Poms/Pomeranians~YUMMY & HEALTHY~It's great when mixed with other healthy things as a Kong stuffer too just as it's healthy for us humans for so many reasons~."

"So we had the waiter brings us each one and he showed use the jar for the name. I would not blend them in a smoothie due to the cost but a small amount of the juice is a great smoothie flavoring."
"If you aim a little higher then no, they are the way to go. FWIW, they pack quite a lot of cherries in that jar and compared to many "cheaper" brands they go a long way."
"I love these cherries in my once a week Manhattan."
"First discovered yhem at a little beachside bar in kauai, added to a cocktail since they didn't have fresh strawberries or something."

"Out of 6 cases of these ordered on Amazon, only two cans were dented but not as bad as some of the pictures."
"Good fiber and protein, consciously chosen ingredients, low fat , good complex carbohydrate energy source."
"I love these refried beans, so I was psyched to see them on Amazon at a great price if purchased by the case."

"And they don't make the oatmeal quite as gelatinous as the chia seeds. These are quite high in fat, with 1.5g of saturated fat. And I have gotten used to the taste and don't notice it so much any more."
"These are perfect, mostly I want to add that hemp doesn't need to be purchased organically."
"This is a product I discovered listening to Internet radio about how to naturally lower blood pressure."
"There is a hole punched at the top of the otherwise sealed bag (to hang it on a store display hook i guess?). but unfortunately that little hole is below the sealed part of the bag, thus opening it to...well...everything it comes into contact with."
"My husband loves it and it makes his salads more tasty."
"I put them on top of toasted Ezekiel bread, with almond butter/peanut butter, chia seeds, honey, and either sliced strawberries or sliced banana."
"Very nice flavor."
