Product Description
Our Matiz Gallego sardines are harvested off the coast of Galicia, known for its exceptional seafood. Traditional methods are used that respect the biological cycles of the species, as well as avoiding harm to other sea creatures. Lights are used to attract schools of sardines to the surface, where small nets await to bring them aboard the fishing vessel.

Plump Pilchards Plus Lemon October 4, 2009

Everyone knows that Portuguese sardines are the best.
Everyone, that is, except the sardines themselves, when they stray into Spanish territorial waters off the coast of Galacia, just north of Portugal.
That's where these were nabbed. So while technically our conquistadores are Spanish, for all practical intents and purposes you can consider them Portuguese.
Certainly, that's how they taste, and at a price significantly lower than you would pay for their cousins just across the border.
Furthermore, these fish are presented in a decidedly upscale fashion. As we learn from the back of the carton, "Artisan fishing methods, old master cannery know-how and the highest quality ingredients produce a sardine that is moist, tender, and uncommonly flavorful".
In addition, they are "hand packed" and "100 % natural".
Differentiating these from the standard product in the blue carton is the addition of lemon - a nice but unnecessary touch.
You'll want to augment this with an additional squirt in any case...
Fantistic Sardines! January 14, 2010

Fresh tasting, not fishy at all. These came perfectly presented with both heads and tails removed. It was worth the few extra cents more per can. These are not the lemon flavored like the picture shows, but just as well as in most cases those added flavorings are overpowering. The perfect salt balance as well. I highly recommend these. Beside the fact that they are incredibly good for you, they tasted fantastic. The sardines themselves were plump and just great! Real olive oil too! Very impressed. Buy these!!!
The pictures shows "with Lemon" but I got the plain ones. October 14, 2009

So, what you see isn't necessarily what you'll get. I really would like to try the "lemon flavor", but the regular ones (which are in the blue package) are great too!
Oh yeah, tried a few drops of lime juice on them and they were great!
Love these! January 10, 2010

It's hard to find sardines packed in olive oil vs. something unhealthy like cottenseed oil. These taste great! I love having them on hand for snacks or to put in a salad.
Fantastic quality February 26, 2010

I have been trying out different sardine brands in an attempt to eat more fish. This so far ranks only below some Moroccan sardines I got at a Haymarket grocery. Very well recommended, especially for people who don't think they will like sardines.
Stealing from Alton Brown, I recommend trying a thick slice of toasted crusty bread spread with mashed avocado, then topped with these beauties and some lemon or lime. Mash it all together, sprinkle with some black pepper and maybe give it a toast in the broiler. You won't find an easier, tastier way to get those good vegetable and fish fats.
