Very meaty and clean. Barely any salt, and slightly dry. Fish flavor felt really distant, but olive oil was very high quality. 4 neat fillets. Felt lacking to me…plain…would be great added to a dish or gussied up with pasta and capers. I had hot sauce, sea salt, fresh cracked black pepper and rye crackers. Still felt sad but maybe that was the IPA’s. Would use in a recipe, but too sanitary for straight consumption. 6.5/10

Agree with this review. They’re just ok on their own but great for making dip with cream cheese, shallot, lemon, hot sauce, and parsley.
the only trader joes canned seafood i really like are the smoked mussels in olive oil. too bad they come and go randomly
If it says “skinless and boneless”, I don’t buy it. they have just thrown the best parts away! Trader Joe’s sardines in olive oil, skin and bones included, (in the purple can) are really delicious tho!
