They tasted awful, mushy.

Now I feel very, very sick to my stomach

    I just saw those in the store today and thought, huh, never had these and they’re on sale for 99¢ and maybe I should get em? Did a quick google search, saw an old reddit post saying they were horrible, mushy, and fishy af, and just grabbed a can of King Oscar lmao.

    I’m sorry this happened. I’d rather starve than eat these

    I’ll be honest, I really like their hot sauce ones, and the ones packed with green chilies. They might not be primo but for a quick lunch you won’t hear me complaining.

    The hot sauce ones on a toasted everything bagel with chive and onion cream cheese for breakfast is heavenly

    These are only ok to cook with. Seasoned and flavored by your own hand lmao.

    I bought some of the herring steaks in hot sauce and was pleasantly surprised. For a buck, I was happy to toss a few into my lunchbox.

    I like their hot sauce fish steaks in red beans and rice

  8. You really have to dress these up in my opinion.

    Bowl of white rice, more fish sauce, crushed red peppers, furikake, seaweed, fried egg, literally the works. Then they aren’t so bad lol

    Randomly bought these from a dollar general and I enjoyed them. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    I love the green chilies and mustard ones, they’re tasty

    They’re not great,  but they’re better than nothing….and the price is right.

    The Louisiana hot sauce ones are good. Had some today on crackers. I buy them often.

    The most consistently inconsistent sardines ever.

    I mix them in with sauerkraut, avocado and lettuce.

    Can’t even taste them.

    Sick to your stomach? Hyperbole? I’ve had shit sardines more than 25 times and never been sick to my stomach

    Those are dollar store sardines. When I go low class, which is usually, I eat Chicken of the Sea smoked sardines in oil. I occasionally splurge for the Nuri or KO in tomato sauce.

  17. I’ve tried the hot sauce, mustard and plain in-water ones. The hot sauce ones being the most palatable, mustard second and plain in-water ones I ended up feeding to my dog as a breakfast treats. She loves them 😝

    The hot sauce one is the best tasting out of their entire line.

    I’d rather eat anything else. Maybe it’s just been my luck with them, but I just won’t buy them now. I find Chicken of the Sea have been a good substitute if I can’t find King Oscar or anything else.

    I like mustard ones I won’t lie

    I’ve never gotten sick from them but I find the mushy Sardines like Beach Cliff, and Chicken of the Sea off-putting. I’ve had good luck with Wal-Mart’s Great Value. And Polar are often cheap but good.

  21. I think that as with all sardines, it depends on how you serve them. Am I going to eat Beach Cliff fish straight out and lick the tin after? No way. But if you hand me a can and say “Make me lunch,” imma toast a nutty whole grain slice of bread, spread it with avocado, tomato and onions, and top it with chopped up Beach Cliff fish. Heaven for, like, $1.25.

    I read the other ingredients on the label..pass
