Q: Are these sardines boneless

submitted by Karen - 3 years ago

  • A: First answer is correct about sardine bones -- canned sardine bones are soft and an excellent source of calcium.

    submitted byMichael - 4 months ago

  • A: This specific product is not boneless or skinless. Although this brand does have a skinless and boneless product, I don't believe Target has it. It is safe and nutritious to eat sardine bones.

    Missing from stock

    I found this product to be of high-quality and excellent taste and I read it five stars. But now when I go to my local target store, this product is not on the shelves and it is also not on my target app for pick up or shipping. Can someone from Target please let me know if this product is discontinued for target stores. Thank you.

    I just received my package. I had ordered a total of 10 cans of KIng Oscar Sardines, but as soon as I picked up the box from the floor in the entryway, I immediately noticed something was wrong -it felt too light. Upon opening it, I found only one can inside. I then checked my invoice and saw tha I had been charged $39.90.

    King Oscar Sardines in EXTRA Virgin Olive Oil are DELICIOUS!

    These King Oscar Sardines are in EXTRA virgin olive oil and have the skin and bones, which provides the calcium I need. They have a mild delicious taste and also provide Omega 3's. Other sardines left me with a bitter aftertaste. However, King Oscar Sardines do not. The expiration date on the tins I received is some time in 2031, which is great! Very healthy and tasty sardines at a reasonable price.

    Outstanding quality

    I'm at a loss for reasons why the first time I ate these sardines. I guess I thought it would be nasty to pick one up, but after I tasted them, I was hooked. I lost 120 pounds last year replacing one meal with a can of sardines.

    These are mushy and flavorless, and left me burping fish for the rest of the day. I love sardines but these were a miss.

    Too fishy

    I eat quite a bit of sardines but this is different from my normal brand. I grabbed them while I was out. They are SO FISHY and they tasted a little metallic-y. I couldn't finish the tin it was so rough

    Healthy and delicious!

    Today is literally my first time trying sardines. I can’t compare the taste to others but these specific sardines (in oil) are delicious! I added hot sauce and they were perfect. The flavor and smell is comparable to crab meat, to me. I’m allergic to crab, so I’m thrilled to have an alternative if I want to make any crab dishes. Very affordable (under $5 per can) and full of nutrients. I plan to incorporate sardines into my daily diet.

    Best out there!

    These are the best-tasting and smelling Sardines, I have tried others, but nothing compares to how good/delicious these are. This is the only brand I will buy.
