Best Flavor: Matiz Atlantic Sardine

Buy on Amazon

The matiz atlantic sardine is satisfactory and appropriate and fits well with your regular usage. If you like to be adventurous with your sardines, perhaps you'll like the variety brand. These are consistently three largish fish per tin, and one tiny pepper. The fish are consistently a little finny, with an occasional scale. The sweet pepper sardines are a smaller tin, and also smaller fish, sprat-sized, with around eight or ten in the can, nicely layered/packed.

The lemon essence here is a nice accompaniment rather than covering up the faults of the Pacific sardine. The skins are pretty consistently a bit "beat up" looking rather than smooth and shiny. The sweet peppers are somewhere between very subtle and imperceptible in flavor.

Why We Like This:

Meaty texture, seasoned nicely, and packed with good quality olive oil
More protein, fewer tails, and less work
Worthy of serving at your next party
