Wild Planet Wild Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil Lightly Smoked Tinned Fish Sustainably Wild-Caught Non-GMO Kosher Gluten

If you’re looking for convenience and excellent taste along with wild caught then order it from Amazon. The cost here comes to 35.64 for an dozen about 2.97 per can. The Costco in our area carries it now in packs of six for 10.99 bringing to 1.83 per can. You can’t beat this brand in taste and quality along with their mission and vision of this company. I will always use their products even if I have to pay Amazon prices. But if I can save at Costco well need I say more? Read more

If you're looking for a healthy snack or addition to a meal, these sardines are a great alternative to sweets and other processed foods. Slightly smokey flavor adds to the rich taste of these little fish. A great source of protein and Omega 3 fatty acids which are beneficial to maintaining a healthy heart and vitamins. Sardines can be eaten straight from the can, fried or added to salads. Read more

Good product, taste is satisfying. Worth the money. Low sardine smell. Read more

Pricey but tasty. That can probably be also said of competing products, but if you can budget these, this one in particular is a tasty and healthy option for a snack, or as an extra protein for breakfast. Read more

I started eating sardines for health and hunger management purposes, but can’t claim to say they are a favorite food. That said, these are phenomenally better than the sardines available at my local large grocer (ShopRite). It is a much larger fish, and is much meatier with that larger size. So instead of eating 20 or so tiny sardines, I can eat 4 of these large ones. The price is better and the eating appeal is better than my grocery store. Also since I am trying to eat once or twice a day, buying in a 12-pack (not available at my grocer) is convenient. Read more

Three main reasons why I chose and recommend Wild Planet sardines: 1) Tastes good! I am not exaggerating when I say that Wild Planet sardines tastes way better than other brands that I have tried so far. I am a sardine fan, and I have tried a lot of other brands. Wild Planet sardines are very firm and meaty, slightly smoky, juicy and delicious. The sardines are very well cleaned and scale free. 2) Good for your general health. a) No BPA( Bisphenol A) used as lining inside the cans. Recently there has been lot of concerns about BPA leeching into food that many companies have switched to BPA free plastics and BPA free cans. Wild Planet is one of them. For concerns about the effects of BPA,see an article on this link. http://www.webmd.com/children/environmental-exposure-head2toe/bpa b) This is a nutritionally dense food. I would go as far as considering sardines as a "superfood". These are some numbers to give you an idea of how nutritious a can of Wild Planet sardines is. Please note that all these values are PER CAN because I usually eat a whole can(4.375oz) at a time. One serving size is listed on the can as 2 oz/serving, totaling about 2.5 servings/ can. In all seriousness, I don't know of anyone that would really open a can of sardines this size, measure out 2 oz to eat, so here it goes. -- Excellent source of protein -25g /can -- Excellent source of Omega 3 that you can EAT instead of taking pills. Each can contains 313mg EPA Omega 3 and 688mg DHA Omega 3. This is comparable to 2 soft gels of Amazon's best-selling omega 3 nutritional supplements: Nordic Naturals - Ultimate Omega, 1000 mg, 180 softgels But why take it in pill form when you can eat as part of one of your meals with all the added extra nutrients right? -- Excellent source of Calcium - over 50 % Daily Value per can.( compare that to a serving of 8oz of 2% milk which on average has about 30% Calcium in it) -- Excellent source of Vitamin B12 (over 100% DV), and Vitamin D(over 100%DV). -- Good source of Iron (over 25%DV)and Selenium (over 50%DV) and -- Also, as a bonus, contains Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a nutrient found in the body cells and believed to have an antioxidant and immune system boosting properties. 3) Good for the Ocean I have been trying to be more responsible with my food choices. I try to eat seasonal, local and organic whenever possible. And as far as seafood, although a little bit more expensive, I try to get them "wild caught" whenever I can. However, recently I discovered that it is not enough for something to be "wild caught". Two other factors are also important. --HOW THEY ARE CAUGHT. Some of the things I have learned are indeed eye opening, and really help me be more aware and environmentally responsible as a consumer on what and where to purchase my seafood products if I really care about protecting the oceans. Wild Planet uses "free school" purse seine method which means NO FADs (Fish Aggregating Devices) are used. Please see this video about FAD and why they are devastating for the ocean in destroying diversity of species. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVbp7PijR6Y --WHERE THEY ARE CAUGHT This second factor is just as important because because in certain areas, combined with unsustainable methods of fishing such as one described above, there are major concerns of overfishing to the brink of certain species of fish becoming extinct in that particular area. According SeafoodWatch, Pacific sardines are rated "Best Choice" compared to Atlantic or Mediterranean sardines because there's little bycatch and low habitat impacts. http://www.seafoodwatch.org/seafood-recommendations/groups/sardine?q=Sardine Wild Planet is in compliance with the green standards of Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch, Blue Ocean Institute, Ocean Wise, Sea Choice and Fishwise. Greenpeace has also evaluated Wild Planet tuna products and has rated them as a top brand for sustainable sourcing policies. - See more at: http://www.wildplanetfoods.com/thewild-way/on-the-boat/#sthash.0pWGQHzI.dpuf To wrap up, I love these sardines by Wild Planet. The fact that the company is very environmentally conscientious makes me love the product even more. I am currently on my second case ordered through Amazon's convenient sub and save. Compared to buying at grocery stores (if they even carry them), the price on Amazon is very good. The ones I saw at a Whole Food Market in my town was priced at $3.29/ can. So, tastes good, good for you, good for the ocean and not to mention good price here, what more could you ask for? Read more

Wow! I am very sensitive and careful when it comes to eating fish. For health purposes, I searched forever and finally landed with this wild sardines choice. A pack of12 , each one is cutely packed with small fishes and well prepared with Olive Oil. The texture is great, the salt minimum, which is great. and, it is so easy to open it. All I do is sprinkle a little bit of sea salt on fish, and eat them as part of my breakfast. Convenient, delicious, adding a great deal of value and healthy elements to my breakfast. Buying foot related items can be tricky but this is the choice I can see myself keeping coming back for more. Finally, I started making my effort and enjoying "Wild Planet Wild Sardines". Stay healthy! Read more

I took a chance to buy these I was looking for a firmer sardines. What was disappointing they were not that firm, amd the taste was extremely bland. I like Seasoned sardines the best. It has equal firmness if not a little firmer, and the Seasoned brand has much better taste. I will have to doctor up these Sardines as I have 11 cans left. Hopefully Oil, salt, thyme, garlic, and onions will make it more palatable. Everyone has different taste. So some may enjoy this brand. For me its Seasoned brand 100%. Read more
