I can't even use them for bait. Just the smell of them makes me want to vomit. I can tolerate a lot of smells........something about Sardines.
Best sardines are fresh caught with Italian herbs and cooked in fine olive oil. But if you want canned, try-
Nuri Spiced Portuguese Sardines. You won't want anything else.
They arn't bad. Im giving up tuna because its so high in mercury so I thought I would try sardines since they have alot of omega 3, low cost, and a good source of protein(and much much lower in mercury).
I get the ones packed in water since I think the oil they use is questionable(especially the really cheap ones). I may add some of my own olive oil or add hot sauce and I have a decent snack.
Smelt here.
