Hey Ralph, you have a good point. The Portuguese canned fish always seems to be at the top of the good ones. Thanks for watching commenting. Much appreciated
Hello Jennifer, thanks so much for taking the time to watch the video and leave a comment. I appreciate it. I am just getting ready to make a video to ask my viewers what type of food comparison videos they would like to see. I really enjoyed making this video and have always enjoyed making review videos. I'm going to make food fights a regular part of my channel. I'm still going to have do-it-yourself and money-saving videos, etc. but I want you to know I just ordered six different Salisbury steak TV dinners from Walmart. 😀Thanks again for watching and leaving a helpful comment.
I recently got the courage to try sardines. I tried the King Oscar Jalapeno. Tolerable, but pricy. Just now tried the COTS in EVOO. I added a dash of lemon juice and some hot sauce. About the same, but not quite as small and solid as the KO. And at less than 1/2 the price (1.19 vs 2.98), I'll stick with them
Total beginner and want to try the most palatable (in terms of both taste and texture) one first. No problem if it’s more expensive. I’m a bit confused by your comments a bit *which* King Oscar you preferred. Sometimes it sounds like you preferred the skinless & boneless, and other comments sound like you preferred the other King Oscar (the little ones). Please let me know thanks!
It's worth noting that King Oscar and Chicken Of The Sea are owned by the same company - Thai Union Group. So they are likely the exact same species of Sardines caught in same place, then filtered and sorted in terms of quality before being stamped as either brands. I personally prefer the bigger species from Morocco or Portugal. Once you get over the $2.50 price point, their texture is firmer and smell is fresher than Bristling ones. What you described as a "strong" fishy smell is generally an indicator of a seafood product that took longer time from catching to packacging, usually present in lower quality brands.
I bought the Chicken-of-the-sea sardines and found them to mashed up and a mess. I like the ones that are whole and can be fried. Thanks for the video.😊
At our Local Walmart South-Central WI the prices are: King Oscar Brisling Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 3.75 oz Can ... $2.98 / 79.5 ¢/oz King Oscar Skinless & Boneless Sardines in Olive Oil, 4.38 oz Can ... $2.48 / 56.6 ¢/oz Chicken of the Sea Wild Caught Sardines in Oil Lightly Smoked, 3.75 oz Can ... $3.96 / 94.3 ¢/oz No Chicken of the Sea with Lemon Wild Planet Wild Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil Lightly Smoked 4.4 oz ... $2.98 / 67.7 ¢/oz I don't eat sardines, but I do love King Oscar Kippered Snacks. I have done a taste test with other kippered snacks and they have the best flavor. Last week I did a taste test with Corned Beef Hash. And it always comes down to if you like the flavor better and if it is a bit more money, enjoy the one that you like. 1) MARY KITCHEN Corned Beef Hash, Canned Corned Beef, Steel Can 14 oz ... $3.16 / 22.6 ¢/oz 2) Great Value Corned Beef Hash, 14 oz Can ... $2.96 / 21.1 ¢/oz 3) Armour Corned Beef Hash, 14 oz Can ... $2.16 / 15.4 ¢/oz
Hey thanks for taking the time to watch the video and leave such a helpful reply. I could have swore I did a video review of corned beef hash but maybe not. I should do one if I haven't done one already. I agree with you about kippers they're pretty good. Thanks again I subscribed to your channel.
I think you have got an off batch of Wild Planet. I eat all the ones you tested in this great vid and Wild Planet has never has an ammonia smell that I can remember. Maybe give them another shot ✌️. I get mine at Costco.
One of the commenters said that the wild planet facility in Thailand had a problem for a while and that makes perfect sense because there were too many really good comments left Andy wild planet sardines online for all of them to be as bad as mine and some of the others that commented theirs were bad too. Supposedly they have facility in Europe and Poland or Portugal and those were supposed to be OK thanks again for watching and commenting I really appreciate it
Thank you for your video. What? No Brunswick Sardines? AGGHHH! A Sardine connoisseur, who woulda thunk it. I canned Smelts in the small half pints and you'd think they were sardines. Years ago when the food bank was an actual "resource" for me to utilize, (total income $375 a month) I hit the place when a factory truck from the fish plant was making a delivery and the driver gave me a full case of Sardines packed in Oil, I even had a choice of water or Oil, so I got the Oil. That's fifty cans of sardines BTW. That third can wasn't packed all pretty now was it? From my experience in the fish industry, the garbage fish get the extra flavorings. You know, you're packing fresh fish until the fish isn't so fresh no more and then switch to flavoring the stuff. You oughta see the huge one pound cans of Sardines here in Canaduh that come from China packed in a Tomato sauce. The thing is, the fish are huge and the sauce is great. Served on a bed of Rice and you can't go wrong. We can get canned Mackerel from China as well. I mix the Mackerel with homemade Mustard Pickles for a wonderful sandwich spread. They literally wiped out the huge Mackerel and Herring industry here by over fishing. The greedy (Bleepstards) We used to can all our own Mackerel. Thank god for that new "invasive" species called Stripe Bass, ... they get huge and you can catch them by the hundreds right off the beach. Thanks for the food fight and catch you soon.
I think it's great you have some nice striped bass. I've never eaten it before, though. We don't seem to get them. This far south. Your story about other countries taking all of the fish remind me of that song by Stan Rogers ua-cam.com/video/BRUSqO8fObU/v-deo.html
Hey Buck, thanks for watching the video I appreciate it. I am using my new free video editing program called capcut and I am having more fun editing the videos now. The wild planet sardines are very popular on Amazon. I read some of the negative reviews and it appears there may be a bad batch out of Thailand. I like the format of this video. I'm going to do some more food fights.
I was looking for an inexpensive mustard sardine because my market was out of Beach Cliff. Beach Cliff was our families go to since I was a child (I’m 60 now). My aunt (rip) used to finely chop onions into the mustard sardines and mash it together on a Ritz cracker to serve us kids (7 total kids after school). COTS was actually less expensive, so I grabbed a bunch of the new to me flavors. Mustard is by far my favorite, then olive oil. I did not like the Mediterranean Sardines though. I do however love King Oscar’s Mediterranean Mackerel 😘
After months of failed diets full of garbage food and chicken, i can definitely say sardines made me feel great and have such amazing macro and micro nutrient profiles. I love the ones Goya ones in tomato sauce, they are delicious
Hello everyone. I enjoyed making this video and plan to do more Food Fight videos. What foods would you like me to do a video on? A viewer suggested TV dinners so I have ordered six different Salisbury steak TV dinners. I can think of dozens of different types of food but I'm more interested in hearing what you guys want to see. Here is a list of food items I think would be fun for me to do, but please add yours to the list strawberry ice cream fried chicken breaded shrimp fish fillets canned ham coffee coffee creamer canned soup Chili in the can chocolate eclairs macaroni and cheese pudding mix ginger ale root beer dinner rolls gravy mix mashed potatoes apples sauerkraut hotdogs potato chips corn chips meatloaf chicken sandwiches pizza trail mix corn beef pickles mustard olives cranberry sauce salad dressing breakfast cereal nondairy milk coffee substitute breakfast sausage I think the next food fight is going to be TV dinners or pudding mix. Thanks again to everyone for watching and commenting. I'm looking forward to hearing your input.
I’ve never tried the skinless , boneless sardines. I’m definitely going to. Those look great. If they taste like tuna, all the better. Man, am I hungry now!
Funny, my wife is Japanese, and she made some roasted sardines, heads, guts, fins and all the other day...and they were DELICIOUS! I normally do NOT eat all the non-meat parts of a fish.
@@RobbsHomemadeLife Robb, you got a heck of a deal on that pannini press. It’s on my radar when shopping for bargains and it’s usually around a hundred buck now. That doesn’t mean some entrepreneur won’t sell one at cost when his sales weren’t as brisk as planned and his payments are due. Ever vigilant.👁️👁️ 👀
Hello chops, I have found them on eBay in very good condition as low as $15 but you have to add another 15 or 20 for shipping but still a good deal if they are in like new condition.
See now, I wanna work for your channel all summer, eating and reviewing canned fish so that I can eventually hibernate, until next spring! (I'm for direct deposit 😊😅😂)
Hi Robb! Very interesting food fight. I’m not a fan of sardines, it’s too fishy for me. I love good tuna though and eat it a couple times a month. But a study said because of the mercury found in tuna that it wasn’t good to eat often and that’s why I cut back on my consumption. Thanks for sharing, this was fun. Have a blessed night!
Hello Willows, thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it. I'm not going to encourage anybody eat something they don't like, but if you like tuna, which is a large fish and may have health issues from eating it. You might want to look into the skinless boneless sardines I mentioned. They actually didn't taste like sardines or smell like them either. It was a lot like tuna. I think it is a pilchard. It's a very small fish and does not have the same toxin profile tuna does.
I've been trying to work up the courage to try sardines. Think I'll try your dip/spread from a while back. Glad I got King Oscar as they look the best to me.
Hello Susan, I didn't know anybody remembered my old sardine sandwich bread video. That was a very good video. I am going to be making more food fight videos. People seem to like the sardine video so I can only imagine how they will respond to a fried chicken or strawberry ice cream food fight😀 thanks again for watching and leaving a nice comment.
Hey Oscar, I love the King Oscar kippered snack you sent me. I still have a few cans left. I did not include them in the food fight since they are herring, maybe I should do a herring food fight. They are great with panfried small potatoes with butter onions and parsley.
I've been pretty much exclusive to King Oscar with skin + bones in either olive or soybean oil for the last few years. Thought it might be fun to branch out after sardine videos started weirdly popping up in my YT feed and picked up two new brands: the Wild Planet you have above, and Mantiz in Spanish olive oil. The Wild Planet was bad, visually unappealing, smells nasty and not pleasant at all. I tossed it after a couple bites and I'm pretty sure if my cats were still around they would have given it the snub. The Mantiz however was great, but also pricey at $4.99.
Hey you must have gotten the same batch of wild planet that I did that's so strange a lot of people seem to like that brand I wonder what their problem is king Oscar is the best so far for me thanks a lot for watching the video and taking the time to leave a nice comment much appreciated
It's kind of odd so many people seem to like wild planet but it's clear some of the wild planet sardines have been absolutely terrible I think they have poor quality control
@@RobbsHomemadeLife I was given a can by my brother-in-law that said "These are the best!" They look nicer and cost more, so they must be better. They don't do side-by-side comparisons. I have done blind beer taste tests with friends and gotten hilarious results. "Bud is the best beer!" then picks Meister Brau as his favorite. They had no clue what was what once you take the cans away.
King Oscar with jalapeños are my favorite. 🐟 I get chicken of the sea pretty often, because of the price. But you don’t get many whole fish (headless of course) out of the tin. A bit mushy and beat up, a lot of pieces. But the flavor isn’t bad at all.
My chicken of the sea sardines we're in pretty good shape but you're the second person that mentioned how the chicken of the sea sardines are in pieces and do not have the heads on them and so on I wonder if I just got a different lot thanks again for watching and commenting much appreciated
@@RobbsHomemadeLife Yeah, some Chicken of The Sea tins are better than others. Maybe it’s more of a consistency issue. Thats would help explain the great price. 👍
The Wild Planet sardines are good for frying. Every now and then, I lightly flour (with spices) and shallow fry them with some rice on the side. It'll stink up your house though 😆
Hey thanks for watching the video and taking the time to leave a nice comment much appreciated I did not like the wild planet sardines but the reviews for those sardines are very favorable.
@@RobbsHomemadeLife Understandable. They're definitely not the sardines I go to grab when I want an easy snack. King Oscar all the way. Keep up the good work 👍
Hey Rob, have you tried the Mega Brand sardines from the Philippines? They come in a cylindrical can and are packed in a tomato chili sauce which is kind of weird, but they are very tasty.
No I haven't tried that brand. I have tried sardines in the little round cans with tomato sauce, etc. The tomato sauce reduces the fishy taste and aroma a lot. I have had it over rice with a lot of peppers. The used to be very inexpensive.
Wild Planet wild caught Sardines are my favorite regardless of anyone else's opinion. I'm not impressed with highly reviewed King Oscar Sardines. I would rather choose the Aldi's norther catch sardines in water.
A lot of people like wild planet sardines. Mine were dreadful. I did some research and there were more than a few people that felt the same way as I did. It looks as if there were some bad batches that came out of the cannery in Thailand. I will have to check out the sardine you mentioned.
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I'm not a regular consumer of salsa but I looked online at the store and there are a lot of different salsa being sold so that's a very good suggestion.
King Oscar cost a little more but are by far superior sardines. I never noticed until watching your videos but the olive oil from King Oscars is more thick like regular olive oil vs the running watered down look of the Chicken of the Sea.
Hey thanks so much for watching and leaving a nice comment I appreciate that wild planet did not work out for me but they are very popular maybe I just got a bad can
I want to be a lucky alley cat near your apartment dumbster in the next couple days, licking plates. They all taste so good. I like the ones in tomato sauce..
Hello Smith, it's always good to hear from you. Are you getting ready for the fishing season? We used to have pilchards in a can. Some years ago, but I don't see them anymore. Over here.
Hey Island gal, I know what you mean. There are some canned fish I don't like. Also, I don't like shrimp unless it is very fresh. I grew up catching my own shrimp and eating it the same night. That spoiled me. I appreciate the comment.
@@RobbsHomemadeLife I even slid the time indicating line to the end as if watched. I couldn't actually watch it though. There are some things I just will not do...
Not a fan of Chicken of the Sea. I have been experimenting and ordering them online due to the terrible selections at my local stores. So far my favorites have been Matiz and Santo Marano. I never get skinless and boneless, and never in water.
Chicken of Sea is a winner Would make a great sandwich or just if you’re hungry and need something to eat or “tuna” salad And for a third of the price I don’t see the need to buy King Oscar
@@RobbsHomemadeLife I’m trying to save money right now on food, but I definitely prefer King Oscar King Oscar is like 3x better and that’s why it’s 3x the price, but by no means is CotS a low quality product CotS is a high quality product, maybe not their flavors, but the integrity is there
I agree. Sardines, herring, pilchard, can mackerel clams are all good choices for less heavy metals. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
I think they must have been a bad batch. If you read the reviews on Amazon many people love them. Mine tasted of ammonia. And the texture was wooden. They were some of the worst sardines I ever had.
Hey thanks for leaving the comment I have never heard of tiny tot sardines before and looked them up the cheapest can I could find was$9 where do you get your sardines from
I make a jerk/garlic butter, melt it, spread it on tortillas, fry the tortillas, than eat them with sardines and “special” hot sauce. To die for imo, unless you are against heat, Heaven on Earth.
Sardine comparison will change a life, no doubt. Jesus/Yeshua was a fisherman as well, along with a carpenter. “Healthy mind is crucial to a healthy body”- Omega 3s
Chicken of the Sea are to mushy for me. I like a little firmness to my deens,, but great comparison. I look forward to the Salisbury steak TV dinner one that's one of my favorites. PS. a price comparison would help out a bunch as well, some of us can't afford the pricier stuff.
Never thought I'd find myself watching a sardine comparison video but here I am.
Don't forget wherever you go there you are😀 thanks for watching and commenting much appreciated
I have loved tinned fish all my life, 74 years. Portuguese sardines and tinned seafood are the gold standard.
Hey Ralph, you have a good point. The Portuguese canned fish always seems to be at the top of the good ones. Thanks for watching commenting. Much appreciated
If you haven't tried the Mediterranean King Oscar ones, you definitely should. They are very good on triscuits with extra sharp cheddar
Hey thanks a lot for watching and leaving a nice comment.
Maybe the best sardines out there!
I did a taste test myself and King Oscar hands down. They just know how it's done.
James I agree 👍

I get chicken of the sea pretty often, because of the price. But you don’t get many whole fish (headless of course) out of the tin. A bit mushy and beat up, a lot of pieces. But the flavor isn’t bad at all.
My chicken of the sea sardines we're in pretty good shape but you're the second person that mentioned how the chicken of the sea sardines are in pieces and do not have the heads on them and so on I wonder if I just got a different lot thanks again for watching and commenting much appreciated
@@RobbsHomemadeLife Yeah, some Chicken of The Sea tins are better than others. Maybe it’s more of a consistency issue. Thats would help explain the great price. 👍
Great review, thanks 🙏🏼
Hey thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to leave a nice comment much appreciated I need to do more food reviews like this
YUM YUM....GIVE ME SOME....LOVE EM....!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯
I just had some yesterday.👍
I bought the wild planet the other day and was shocked at how huge the fish are. Couldn't finish them.
I agree mine were big also they didn't taste that good but were many positive reviews so maybe I just got a bad lot
Chicken of the sea good and budget friendly mustard good and mild also love hot also
James that sounds pretty good thanks for watching the video and leaving a helpful comment much appreciated
I agree, COTS mustard is very good, but for the price of King Oscar I’d rather get their Mediterranean Mackerel 😘
The Wild Planet sardines are good for frying. Every now and then, I lightly flour (with spices) and shallow fry them with some rice on the side. It'll stink up your house though 😆
Hey thanks for watching the video and taking the time to leave a nice comment much appreciated I did not like the wild planet sardines but the reviews for those sardines are very favorable.
@@RobbsHomemadeLife Understandable. They're definitely not the sardines I go to grab when I want an easy snack.
King Oscar all the way.
Keep up the good work 👍
Just bought some Chicken of the Sea sardines, can't wait to try them
How were they?
@John.Christopher they were great and full of flavor, I still buy them regularly.
I vote King Oscar.
Hey Minnie, I agree. I think they were the best.
Hey Rob, have you tried the Mega Brand sardines from the Philippines? They come in a cylindrical can and are packed in a tomato chili sauce which is kind of weird, but they are very tasty.
No I haven't tried that brand. I have tried sardines in the little round cans with tomato sauce, etc. The tomato sauce reduces the fishy taste and aroma a lot. I have had it over rice with a lot of peppers. The used to be very inexpensive.
You have turned me on to tinned fish, I can't thank you enough for your videos that took away my preconceived wrong notions.
Rob thanks so much for watching the video and taking the time to leave a nice comment I'm glad that the video helped you become a fan of can seafood
Wild Planet wild caught Sardines are my favorite regardless of anyone else's opinion. I'm not impressed with highly reviewed King Oscar Sardines. I would rather choose the Aldi's norther catch sardines in water.
A lot of people like wild planet sardines. Mine were dreadful. I did some research and there were more than a few people that felt the same way as I did. It looks as if there were some bad batches that came out of the cannery in Thailand. I will have to check out the sardine you mentioned.
I'd like to see a video on hot salsa comparison.
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I'm not a regular consumer of salsa but I looked online at the store and there are a lot of different salsa being sold so that's a very good suggestion.
I watched the whole video, and I don't even like sardines.
Hey thanks a lot I really appreciate that.
King Oscar cost a little more but are by far superior sardines. I never noticed until watching your videos but the olive oil from King Oscars is more thick like regular olive oil vs the running watered down look of the Chicken of the Sea.
I agree with your point and should have mentioned it in the video thanks a lot for watching and commenting much appreciated
I wish King Oscar had a hot sauce one
Hey Richard I agree. Thanks for watching and commenting
they have a tasty brisling jalapeno one
I love wild planet, I tried every brand just to see
Hey thanks so much for watching and leaving a nice comment I appreciate that wild planet did not work out for me but they are very popular maybe I just got a bad can
I want to be a lucky alley cat near your apartment dumbster in the next couple days, licking plates. They all taste so good. I like the ones in tomato sauce..
Hey Jonathan thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it
If you had cats...😂😂😂😂😂
Now then Robb Sardines in a tin Are always a winner Pilchards Are also good for us thrifty shopper 😃👍
Hello Smith, it's always good to hear from you. Are you getting ready for the fishing season? We used to have pilchards in a can. Some years ago, but I don't see them anymore. Over here.
Mustard sauce or the ones in hot sauce
I'm commenting just to 'up' your stats because I do not like sardines (or shrimp). They are Ewwww.
Hey Island gal, I know what you mean. There are some canned fish I don't like. Also, I don't like shrimp unless it is very fresh. I grew up catching my own shrimp and eating it the same night. That spoiled me. I appreciate the comment.
@@RobbsHomemadeLife I even slid the time indicating line to the end as if watched. I couldn't actually watch it though. There are some things I just will not do...
@@RobbsHomemadeLife yeah shrimp gets Rubbery with age
Not a fan of Chicken of the Sea. I have been experimenting and ordering them online due to the terrible selections at my local stores. So far my favorites have been Matiz and Santo Marano. I never get skinless and boneless, and never in water.
Hey thanks a lot for watching the video leaving helpful comment period I wasn't aware of those two brands. I appreciate that.
Is the Maitz good ?
I find almost all Moroccan sardines taste like tuna, they have that tuna tang.
Hey Scott appreciate that tip much appreciated.
Chicken of Sea is a winner
Would make a great sandwich or just if you’re hungry and need something to eat or “tuna” salad
And for a third of the price I don’t see the need to buy King Oscar
I agree king Oscar is the best but after you consider the price chicken of the sea it's fine by me
@@RobbsHomemadeLife I’m trying to save money right now on food, but I definitely prefer King Oscar
King Oscar is like 3x better and that’s why it’s 3x the price, but by no means is CotS a low quality product
CotS is a high quality product, maybe not their flavors, but the integrity is there
My brands, since I am a hard working man,😂😂😂😂😂 I prefer Aldi's brand, Northern Catch, or Beach Cliff's Fish Steaks. 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm familiar with beach cliffs brand but I will have to check out all these brand thanks for your information much appreciated
I cant eat any of that canned fish..ive tried it i cant get into it...much prefer fresh fish.
I'm sorry you don't like canned fish but I appreciate you watching and commenting thanks again
I'd like to hear content like this but I don't want to watch it for 20 minutes.
Sardines have less heavy metals than tuna
I agree. Sardines, herring, pilchard, can mackerel clams are all good choices for less heavy metals. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
that wild planet looked like animal food
I think they must have been a bad batch. If you read the reviews on Amazon many people love them. Mine tasted of ammonia. And the texture was wooden. They were some of the worst sardines I ever had.
Don't eat food that smells like ammonia!
🐟🙂
👍😀
No Tiny Tots? Come on!
Hey thanks for leaving the comment I have never heard of tiny tot sardines before and looked them up the cheapest can I could find was$9 where do you get your sardines from
King Oscar is the best, king indeed.
Chicken of the Sea is less money, though, less quality.
I make a jerk/garlic butter, melt it, spread it on tortillas, fry the tortillas, than eat them with sardines and “special” hot sauce.
To die for imo, unless you are against heat, Heaven on Earth.
Oh snap, I wouldn’t spread my sardines, unless it’s on a (double) paper plate.
Brave man this is
And I find eating canned fish, far more enjoyable to eat wit chop sticks, just a lil hint
But the fact that he plopped them on a plate, gave us a better look at the product, good on this man.
Sardine comparison will change a life, no doubt.

Chicken of the Sea are to mushy for me. I like a little firmness to my deens,, but great comparison. I look forward to the Salisbury steak TV dinner one that's one of my favorites. PS. a price comparison would help out a bunch as well, some of us can't afford the pricier stuff.
Hey thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate that by the way I did the Salisbury steak comparison earlier you can find it in my review playlist
@RobbsHomemadeLife great I'll look for it
@RobbsHomemadeLife great I'll look for it
