I found this sub last night and made a run to the store today to pick up these! I know it’s not sardines, but these were highly recommended for beginners. I’m very picky so this was a huge leap for me. I was genuinely surprised that I liked the flavor, and that the texture wasnt off-putting. I tried the lemon one today, and I’m saving the plain olive oil one for tomorrow and I’m gonna make my partner try it.

The jalapeno version is my favorite
Both are great. You can branch out to other seafood or there are lots of other mackerels.
The KO lemon mackerel was my first ever tin. Really love KO mackerel.
They are delicious and a great way to get your toes wet with this wonderful community.
You should try the lightly smoked herring from this brand. Really good. If you’re picky then you’ll definitely want to slowly work your way up to sardines.
If you want a step you. get a tin of Coles Trout. The Smoked Rainbow Trout. Its a little pricy compared to others, but its a rare thing worth the premium.
Sardines are something you get what you paid for. So I would avoid the cheapest options and get something mid range or higher. Personally my go to is Bela.
Just tried these last week with my 6 year old. We both loved the flavor. Way better than expected
I like both the plain olive oil and the lemon flavor, too. Really good starting point for people who want to explore tinned fish.
