    I really appreciate your reviewing affordable sardines that everyone can find. And I really appreciate GV offering sardines at such an affordable price for everyone. That said, I avoid soybean oil as much as possible. It's highly inflammatory and damaging to your health. Better to have the sardines in water. I tried the Crown Prince sardines in water, but they were very scaly. I don't mind a few, it was a lot. I ended up feeding them to the local crows (who don't mind scales 😅). These look very promising. Love your channel! 🐟

      Feeding the crows made me laugh!! Yeah I don’t like that oil either, but I’m going to try everything for everyone since we all differ so much in what we like or are willing to pay for. I’m glad you like the video and I appreciate your comments. New video tomorrow! 😁

    The Great Value sardines in water are my go to. I lightly saute them in evoo, crushed fresh garlic, umani seasoning, onion salt, and red pepper flakes. Sometimes I'll saute them with sliced cherry tomatoes, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze and eat them with sunnyside up eggs. So good. 🤤

    My notes say that the great value in mustard is shockingly decent.
    They have a good firm texture and are one of the few discount sardines that I actually like. I have heard that they’re canned by the same company as Wild Planet, so it’s not surprising that they’re decent.

      @SardineExpedition  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@krazmokramer the GV are soybean oil, so that’s the kicker. Going on taste alone, I’d get the GV over WP just due to the huge price difference. The GV had a smoky taste that the WP doesn’t have. It’s an artificial smoke but it was there. If the oil matters though, that’s a different story. I’m going to review as many as I can and see what all is out there! See what the best option is without soybean oil. But for $1.00 the GV in oil we’re pretty good. Then there’s always the option of water or adding your own good quality oil.

    I still remember the days from long ago where Sardines were 'Packed in Own Oil & Juices' and because of that, yeah next best thing is Packed in Olive Oil. Of the various waters, plain water, spring water or filtered water, I dislike all of them. Of the oils, I love Olive Oil from Portugal or Spain and after that Olive Oils from other nations, but hate Safflower, Canola*, Sun Flower, and Soy Oils because to me they are all 'DRY' to the tongue. * Canola Oil...I'm allergic to 'hypoallergenic canola oil'.
