i ordered three tins of sardines to try from rainbow tomatoes garden. i have tried other tinned fish, but not sardines, so i figured, “why not?”
i bought a “comparison pack” of portuguese sardines and moroccan sardines, and some nuri lemon sardines as well.
nuri spiced sardines: 7.5/10. they were very tender, and not very strong tasting in comparison to the flower brand sardines. they had a slightly spicy oil, which was good, but i couldn’t really taste the spices they were packed with. overall, they were very good!
flower brand spiced sardines: 8/10. still soft but less flaky than the nuri sardines. they had a stronger fishy flavor, but still very good, and the oil’s spices were more noticeable while being less “spicy” than the nuri sardines. i think i like these better than the other ones!
nuri lemon special edition sardines: haven’t tried yet, but i have high hopes for them!
i ate them with some knekkebrød (also from rainbow tomatoes garden) and some frank’s red hot. i would definitely buy them again! i also have some other tins in my cart at rtg to try.

Very nice choices, I could live on the spiced versions. Haven’t found a lemon I’ve liked, only tried a few, have not tried that limited edition Nuri. Will have to keep my eye out, thanks, nice review.
I like all three, but I like Flower because of the price, and how good they are. bought a case of 50 and got pretty massive discount. Nuri’s, of course, are basically unbeatable. But not cheap.,
You should definitely try the other Nuri flavors – the tomato sauce ones are really good.
Whats the RTG?
Wow thanks I’ve heard this before but never thought it was an online store :/
Flower Moroccan Spiced are my #1 sardine of all – they are, IMO, the best tin I’ve tried for the money.
I get mine at the 99 Ranch Market
I’ve made 27 recipe posts about them – ha
All great choices! If you like the Nuri sardines definitely try their mackerel
Great choices all
Well, you picked some good tins. Yum yum.
