Buying advice

When buying sardines, consider type (brisling vs. regular), packing oil (olive, soybean, water), and sustainability certifications. For best value, Season Brand offers a good balance of taste and price. For premium quality, King Oscar or Wild Planet are excellent choices. Always check the can for bones and skin preference.
