Matt, I did it. I had my first can of sardines. They tasted good, definitely a strong fish flavor. I could not detect the spines. Thanks for the inspiration. I have read a lot about how sardines are super foods.
As a 4th grader in a US school in Germany - canned sardines were the perfect way to clear a table of girls so my buds had a place to sit.

You're the reason why I keep getting canned fish. Always eating a can while watching your videos. Keep it up.
I stopped eating these when I got a job at 12 - now you have dragged me back. Quit my job today and went to the store and loaded up on sardines
I lost my taste and smell once during COVID and I lived on whole sardines mixed with blue cheese and mustard because I could taste something in the sardines and I could taste the mold in the blue cheese. It was soooo good. But then I tried it once my taste came back and just about horked

I just had the King Oscar Mediterranean style the other day for the first time. I am not a big olive fan but I actually liked the combined flavors. I was going to scrape the olives off but chose to eat them with the fish and enjoyed the unique flavor. I would buy them again in a heartbeat and will!

The Mediterranean style didn’t impress me like I wanted them to. The classic sardines in olive oil have always been a winner. I just got the smoked kippers, looking forward to trying these today.
I'd never do what you do without the 'grandad napkin' tucked into my neckline - one drop of olive oil ... just one ... and the shirt is for the bin! Living on the edge! :-o
You're weird man, I recently started eating sardines after my family brought in some from a local food bank. That and the fact that on paper these things are pretty dang nutritious and adequate for someone like me who enjoys physical activity. Got curious as to why no one really buys these things off the shelfs but would jump on the crap McDonald's sells in a heartbeat. So I looked up sardines and this channel came up and I must say I didn't expect you to be living in Brooklyn as well... small world. And I thought I was getting a bit weird for my group being in my early 20s and buying sardines lol, guess being weird makes it interesting.

I'd say it's a fair review, you already dove deep into some really impressive Spanish/Portuguese sardines, it doesn't surprise me that they comparatively have the herbs and spices locked down. Now I just need to get my hands on some of those Minerva and Nuris and experience the difference myself!

Not sure how or why I started watching your videos. If asked, I would be hard pressed to explain to someone why I find a man reviewing canned sardines and other ocean life so interesting. However, thinking on it, it is passion. Passion is infectious. And each video of yours, that I have watched oozes passion. Enjoy and rock on good sir.
I have no idea why I enjoy watching these. I don’t even like sardines - but I’m trying to. Keep up the good work.

The smaller the brisling sardine the higher the price. Cross pack cans are the smaller, more expensive brislings. My everyday King Oscar sardine is the red label can, olive oil, two layer, 12 - 22 fish. For me, it's the best balance of taste and cost. The best tasting brislings are well smoked and firm. I don't like sardines so big that they are bland tail meat only. For me a sardine should be a whole fish: everything except the head. And yeah, I partially open a can and let the oil drain off for five minutes before eating.

I just started my sardines and canned fish journey thanks to learning about their health reputation, and then landing on your videos. King Oscar was of course one of the first brands I tried, and I also think the EVOO is underwhelming and kinda whatever, but i do feel like the quality is there for the fish. Im thinking they might make a great value option for using the fish as your base to make other foods with, where you bring the flavor yourself. I like the olive oil too, it tastes buttery to me. But plain out of the can, im going to keep exploring other options. Thanks for the content man this community is really cool and i think niche stuff like this is the future for content. Hope you keep it up for a long time to come, you never know how far youll go! as long as you are having a good time!
I love King Oscar sardines. Nuri is my favorite brand for the larger sardines.
Hey man, love what you do, I love sardines big time, but also smoked oysters, the clams as well, you gotta do videos , squid, octopus , anchovies, man I eat anchovies, like mad, right out of the can, Do you like Escargot ?

bought the mackerel recently because i remembered this review and tried it 5 mins ago and i had to run here and tell everyone how amazing it is might actually be my new favorite and matt's review is spot on
so serious, and yet, many LOLs in this, ty :-)
I have the sound off cuz I'm at work right now but upon seeing there was a video for canned fish reviews I had to check it out. I regularly buy the King Oscar lightly smoked kipper snacks. It's perhaps a weird thing say but I love them. They are delicious, healthy and low cost. Oh my goodness, I could totally subscribe to a channel for canned fish. Cheers from Lynnwood, Washington, USA.
I tried my first canned fish today thanks to you! I had a can of sardines and a can of oysters. The sardines were better. I also have mackerel and anchovies to try. Thank you for holding my hand.

Do you know any choreographers? I hear they're thick as thieves in NYC. All this done over a backdrop of your canned fish reviews.

Just finished Tiny Tots by King Oscar-----very,very mild & tasty. A good choice for beginner 'deener!
Those KO Mediteranean are one of my favorites. I'd be super interested in your favorite of that style (I'll dig into your old videos). Fun fact, I've been eating fish out of the can since I was a small child. I remember sneaking out of church (I was around 10) and walking to the corner to buy a few cans, then sneaking back into church to eat them under the pew. I can still remember the flavor! Back then I was super excited about the ones in mustard. Great channel sir.
I absolutely love the KO Mackeral in lemon oil
I tried the mackerel and I instantly hooked, and I ordered 10 cans (Target limit online order). It's so good I can't stop. Not to mention mackerel has crazy amount of Omega 3

King Oscar's and Belas in olive oil and piri piri are my go to's. Actually have some King Oscar's Mediterranean for today's lunch. Nothing beats Belas and Nuris in my opinion though.
I like the kind with the skin and the bones.... More nutrient dense!
Your being fair in your King Oscar assessment. I forgot which King Oscar I tried, but it was similar to the mediterranean style, but was over done with black pepper, but it didn't have the olives. I iwished you would have tried it. You would have tasted the black pepper more than the sardines.
Look at the olives and sardines.Oh my!!!😍
because of you, i got a few cans and tried them for the first time. I have no regrets :)
