Hi 👋🏻.
Not sure why I never thought to search for this subreddit, but a recent purchase spurred a search and lead me here.
Two cans of TJ sardines, in olive oil. One is described as “grilled”.
The non grilled can is 180 calories for the 85g serving size, drained, with 10g of fat.
The grilled can is 390 calories for the 77g serving size, drained, and a whopper 34g of fat!!!
Is this label fudgery, or is there some law of nature for canned fish that I am ignorant off. This variation seems wild to me!

I’ve wondered the same thing, about these products and their calamari vs Vigo brand, the calories are way different than one would expect.
Maybe the grilled ones have more fish packed in? Since they’re grilled, the fish lost a lot more water, so to match the serving size by weight they have to shove in more sardines. That’s my theory
Yeah we have some of the blue tin and the calories don’t come even close to any other tin. I have trust issues on it.
