 Delicious sardinesFeb 09, 2012
By R. Christmann
Large firm sardines with skin largely intact. Great flavor. Caught off the US west coast. BPA free cans. I eat one of these cans as part of my lunch at least once a week.

best canned sardines I've hadDec 17, 2011
By Vano Chu
"grills year-round"
have to disagree with the other reviewer. these sardines are large (usually 4 or 5 per can) and firm. they have a nice flavor without the overly "fishy" or "oily" textures of some of the other brands. within the varieties offered by Wild Planet, the plain XV olive oil ones are my favorite (the "with lemon" variety has a slice of lemon in the can that unfortunately, adds bitterness to the flavors without bringing a lot of "lemon" to the party - avoid).
Best sardines everMay 18, 2012
By tropikatz
I will begin this with the statement that I have never been a fan of canned sardines. Recently, I read about their tremendous health benefits and have wanted to cut back on meat. Fresh fish in the market is so expensive and has so much mercury in the wild versions and don't get me started on the farm raised varieties. Anyway, the smaller the fish, the lower the levels of mercury. I bought the Wild Planet brand and rinse them in cold water. I don't need all the oil and I think it gives them a much fresher taste. The slightly smokey flavour is delicious. I highly recommend them.
I don't know where Shebear "Shebear" gets their information about the source of the sardines. The Wild Planet website specifically says that they are caught off the California coastline. I grew up in the Monterey Cannery Row area. The sardines were a thriving industry at one time but then they were gone. These are the return of the Pacific Coast sardines.
Edit: found this FAQ on the wild Planet site. I am impressed with the transparency of this company. The sardines are truly caught in US Pacific waters, however, they are processed in Vietnam. Here is their statement:
Why are Wild Planet tuna and sardines caught in the US but packed in Vietnam?
Unfortunately, there is no US sardine or tuna cannery capable of processing our volume requirements and the last sardine factory in the United States closed in 2010. In addition, the US cost of production would greatly increase the retail price beyond the reach of most families. Our goal is to make US-sourced sustainable seafood choices mainstream and thus have a greater impact on fishery harvest practices for the long-term good of ocean conservation.
We have elected to process our 5oz cans of albacore and skipjack tuna as well as our sardines in a highly respected partner facility in Vietnam. This facility offers state-of-the-art canning expertise in an immaculately clean, accredited environment that produces higher quality finished products than any cannery we have seen in the US.

Also, btw, their cans are BPA free, a big plus in my book.
Worth reorderingMay 10, 2012
By Elizabeth M Ferebee
My husband was at first surprised by the larger size & lighter taste of Wild Planet sardines as opposed to King Oscar ones which he likes. By the time he finished the 6 cans, he asked me to order another pack. Delivery on both orders was prompt as always.
I'm working on learning to like sardines, since they are so good for you.

 Misleading discription.Apr 18, 2012
By Shebear
"Shebear"
Misleading listing. Copy says caught along "Pacific Coast" but it is the pacific coast of Vietnam. I wanted US produced product and these are not.
