Review: I believe that this was the first peanut oil tin that I have (knowingly) tried and apparently it was one of the more traditional oils before olive oil took over. A very mild sardine scent upon opening and there were five fish inside, two fat ones and three swimmers of the more svelte variety. While the skin was a bit dinged up but there were still beautiful, iridescent fish that came out easily and intact with big tails. They were all firm, yet moist and amply seasoned with salt. The bones were quite soft, barely noticeable but easy enough to remove if you really wanted to. The oil was very mild & light yet silky. Clean. Quite nice. Overall, a very, very fine can of fish. I had forgotten how much I enjoy Mouettes sardines.
I can’t get past it looking like Arachnid Oil!
I thought that photo 6 said arachnid oil and had a small piercing panic spike, NGL 🕷️😬🕷️
Great review as always – I love the Mouettes sardines in butter.
In fact, I may have some this week 🙂 I have 4 tins left from my 1/2 off Central Market sale haul
Cool looking sardine can!
Looks very posh.
Those look pretty good! The oil name made me do a double take!
The return of the king!
