Season Sardines in Pure Olive Oil, 4.375 Ounce Tin

Too fishy…..

My diet is fish, lots of fish, small fish in cans. I get sardines in 15oz cans for around a dollar a can since I have access to many stores that sell fish all the time. Firm, solid sardines with skin and bones full of nutrients. I consume sardines, herrings from Germany, cod liver, wild salmon and sprats from Latvia among many different type of fish. I always dump the mix that comes with the fish regardless of the mix since that is where the sodium and unwanted oil, water or tomato juice lingers. My interest is not sodium or extra calories from cheap oils even when it is claimed VOO since no producer is going to offer high quality EVOO and olive oil is not EVOO at all, it is OO and it does not even come close to the nutritional value of EVOO, although OO is not as damaging oil as other cheap oils.I consume fish as my main protein source and I witness destruction of marine life all the time. Reputable fish production should be sustainably harvested and carry seal of approval by some reputable agency like "Friends of The Sea" or "MSC=Marine Stewardship Council"... With 1)Sustainable fishing practices, 2)Friend of the Sea Certification, 3)BPA Free cans printed right on the labeling and 4)In olive oil; SEASON BRAND sardines are a top choice brand and producer for me and for that reason, it is a worthy brand. Worthy ONLY IF it has those three claims printed on the labeling. These are complete sardines and quantity wise offer half an ounce more, 4.37 vs. 3.75. Skin and bones offer more calcium, natural oil and different taste than when one purchases a can of sardines that are skinless and boneless where one can only taste solid flesh, only the meat of the sardine. Protein is the same where they claim 24g of fish protein but you will miss out on calcium and many other nutrients without the skin and bones. One needs to read the labeling very carefully before purchase since there are so many variations. For two buck a can, it offers it all except item #3 above. You can get the same thing with item #3 which is better for your health. Seasons offers that but it is in a different can and worth every penny.
