Q: Are these sardines boneless

submitted by Karen - 3 years 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.

    submitted byTC315 - 3 years ago

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

    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.

    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.

    Healthy Food

    These provide many nutrients which are difficult to obtain if eating a plant based diet. Iron, calcium, and B12. Two servings a week does the trick. Sardines are extremely low in mercury and a sustainable product. Yes, they are fishy tasting. I slather with organic ketchup and eat them with a side of bread. My Target doesn’t offer a variety of sardine products. This is a reputable brand.
