I hope you enjoyed the review! You can check out my other sardine reviews here: th-cam.com/play/PLXKlJVq0vpJHo9SoxgstF_v6FRk7iJPYr.html&si=x9VK9V7ze_Gr-2yk
Loved them! I've been looking all over the place for the ones in the Louisiana Hot Sauce, but the stores around here either don't carry them, or there's a Sprat-head around here that's faster than me!
Not being clinical but - pepperin comingled with turmeric works wonders for the insides. The spines are a likeness to the edible bones in the salmon ? Glad you love these. Thank you, King Oscar 👑 !
The flavor on these black peppers are one of my faves. I tried a few more cans after this and none of them were quite as mushy as this one. Still soft, but this can was a mush fest!
Great review! And you can definitely eat the peppercorns, they are tasty and healthy. When you have a high quality oil, like extra virgin olive oil, you can use the leftover oil as well. It makes a great dipping sauce for bread when you add a little vinegar, herbs, and red pepper flakes (or whatever you like). It can also be used to make salad dressing or to cook with, add a little fish flavor to whatever you are cooking. EVO is so healthy, you don't want to waste it. No EVO left behind! Love your channel. Very best wishes. 💖🐟
Thank you! I had that same thought about dipping bread in the oil after. That would be so good!!! There’s a lot you could do with this one!! Thanks so much for watching!
3:20 I'm excited to try this one based on my love pepper and watching your reaction. Like you though I'd prefer them to not be so fall apart mushy. Thanks for making this vid!
I love this one and have probably had 10 more cans of it since this video! They are all on the mushy side, a few cans a bit better…..but it’s that spicy black pepper that keeps me coming back!!
Just found you and subscribed! I have eaten a lot of sardines in my life but I have never seen that black pepper flavor scheme. Im sure I would love that! Always eat the spines too! I am always on the look out for sardines in water with NO salt added for my doggy and kitty to snack on, they both absolutely love sardines but mostly all of the brands have way too much salt for them. Onto watch your other videos! Cheers from Northern California!
Thank you so much for the comment!! I noticed a few that say low sodium or no salt added have about the same sodium as one that isn’t labeled that way. I came across one in my stash that was lower than most. I’ll see if I can find which one it was! You’ve gotta try the black pepper! Flavor was 🔥 so good!
had these as my first can in decades today and i loved them. mine kept together pretty well but maybe mine was just a newer can? its odd that yours looked immediately different from mine
Thru the years, when I've tried different flavored canned fish or mollusk I've generally found them to be a bit " out of sorts" regardless of brand. I've never had any King Oscar sardines that were mushy. Another great video. Thanks...carry on!
I tried another can of these and they were still soft, but not nearly as mushy as the one in the video. KO is usually consistent, so not sure what happened?
Aren’t they tasty?!? I can’t find them locally either so I got a 12 pack. Someone mentioned dipping bread in the leftover oils. Sounds amazing! Thanks for watching!!😊😊
@@SardineExpedition I've personally have used Costco's begets and Milton's multi grain gourmet crackers that you can get at stores like Safeway. Both are real good and go well with sardines. French bread more than likely would work well also.
I eat those all the time I have lots of cans on the shelf and the ones I have ate were not mushy like that and they held together well I’m hoping that was just that can that is a great sardine.
I grabbed another can and it wasn’t nearly as mushy as this one. Weird how my first one was so busted apart. KO is usually pretty consistent. These are so good though! I made a sardine pizza with them this weekend and use the oil on the crust!😍
I wonder if that pepper breaks the fish down faster in the can? looks tasty though i'm gonna look for those. dropping a subscribe gonna check out your other fishy vids cheers
You need to invent a new sardine-attack tool. Maybe a bit wider at the business end than chopsticks, and thinner for more precise grabbage. Really enjoy your content.
This is exactly why I quit buying flavored sardines. First off they use the cheapest ingredients they can find to keep their production costs down. So you are not even getting the best grade of extra virgin olive oil much less mustard, tomato, or hot sauces. I buy really good extra virgin olive oil. And Dijon mustard, several quality hot sauces, ( right now my favorite is Tabasco's Chipotle pepper sauce), but I have many others I like as well. So I've found it so much better to just buy the regular sardines of whatever is your go to brand and drain them then add your own higher quality olive oil, and any other sauces that you have a desire for. Anyone who has ever purchased the sardines in any of the popular sauces. Can attest to the fact that those sauces, mustard, tomato, or anything else. Has almost zero flavor and are pretty much useless as a sauce. So if you really want to enhance your sardine eating enjoyment. Just add your own olive oil and sauces. Trust me when I say once you become accustomed to being able to customize your sardines to your own pallet and mood. You'll never waste your time with any of those " flavorless flavored sardines" ever again.
You have a great point!! I will give that a try for sure! I’m just trying everything out there as so many seem to go for the inexpensive easy cans they can just throw in a bag and go. The more I try sardines and the varieties the more my mind opens up to all the options and things you can do. What’s your fav oil to use? I need to grab a good one! Thanks! 😁😁
According to old Polish tradition, what is have ONLY sardines or herring before Christmas, we have sardines from Morocco and Armenian+ herring from Latvia. This was a horror . All 3 of them. Avoid

@htuckey hahaha super sprat head! Someone in Walmart with a sardine cape on. I’ll be on the look out for them!

Yes! I’m taking a turmeric supplement that has the black pepper in it 😁
I like KO even though they do tend to be a bit soft. Never had the cracked pepper ones. I will keep looking for them. Good video
The flavor on these black peppers are one of my faves. I tried a few more cans after this and none of them were quite as mushy as this one. Still soft, but this can was a mush fest!
I imagine those would be great in sourdough avocado toast.
Oh my lord yes! I’ve made a sardine pizza with these twice. Bruised the extra oil on the crust😍

I used to get them but my market doesnt have them anymore. I would eat the all the peppercorns every time.
Me too! I’ve had several cans now and love them! Especially on pizza and using the oil on the crust!
I'm not proficient at using chop sticks so I have to use a fork, which can be used to lift them up and out of the can. Especially when they are mushy.
Yes! I come more prepared now with spoon and fork on standby! 😁
Those are good I got like 6 of those in my cupboard
Awesome! Flavor was amazing! 🤩

@@SardineExpedition This is so great to find another sardine aficionado!
National Sardine Day is on Nov. 24th!! Let's feast!
Oh no way!!! Marking my calendar!!
had these as my first can in decades today and i loved them. mine kept together pretty well but maybe mine was just a newer can? its odd that yours looked immediately different from mine
That strange because my can was pretty new! Maybe it had a rough travel lol. It was really good!!
Great video.👍
✌️ Peace , Be Free .
Thanks, Michael! 😁

If you haven’t, try the smoked herring (with black pepper) by Polar. Yummy!
Awesome because I have that coming from Amazon. Excited to try it! Thank you!😊😊😊
I've had them and they are really good. I can't find them in the store anymore but you can order them and there are some others I really want to try

I wouldn’t think black pepper would but they were certainly busted up. So good though!
Never seen those, but love the KO Mediterranean Style!
@@xpig332 you should try these! I’ve had others say there’s weren’t all busted up like my can was so maybe my can was a dud lol. 😊
@ oh I’m a pepper corn, chili pepper & hot sauce freak, I’ll buy em if I see em. The only sardines I need to be firm are the ones I cook with.
I will try putting fresh ground black pepper on my regular ALDI cheapo sardines. 😂
The flavor and peppercorns in this one were so good! I put a can on pizza and used the oil on the crust. It was so good!!
I love regular sardines in oil but never tried to eat them with chopsticks.
I just find it’s less messy most of the time. I sometimes have a fork on deck though 😁
Those are my favorite. They are about $3.69 and plentiful here in Central Texas
Lucky! Love when you can find good ones locally!
Hey Central Texas neighbor, Waco here!
I have never tried those, can't find them locally........So I will get some on AMZ..........😘
Yes! I have to order a lot as I’m in Alaska. Those were so good! I hope you like them! Thanks for watching!😊
@@SardineExpedition Really at the other end of the country, as I am in North Central Florida.........Stay warm....!!......😘
@ I’m trying! You stay cool! 😎

@@guyfuller1369 That’d be nice!! I feel like I need a fork, spoon, chopsticks etc all at once sometimes! Thanks you! I’m glad you enjoy!!
Lately I’ve been hooked on the King Oscar boneless skinless Spanish style sardines. Are you a fan of those?
I’ve got a can to try so I’ll let you know asap!!!! 😁😁
@ Cool! I’ll keep an eye open for that. 👍
Try mackerel in tomato sauce
I was just thinking today I need to try a tomato sardine soon, I’ve got several but no tomato mackerel. I’ll look for it. 😁
this is exactly why I don`t buy King Oscar anymore, they are always mushy, there are much better sardines on the market to enjoy
Yeah it was a mush festival, but the taste was really really good. Have you had this one? I just can’t stand the mess and oil dripping everywhere. Lol

Just tip the can over and dump them on the plate - they'll all just pop out without all breaking up.
But what if I don’t wanna? 😆😆😆
@@SardineExpedition 🙂
I love KO but I hate these.
Yeah, I can see this one not being for everyone. Especially if you don't like strong black pepper.
According to old Polish tradition, what is have ONLY sardines or herring before Christmas, we have sardines from Morocco and Armenian+ herring from Latvia. This was a horror . All 3 of them. Avoid
Dang I’m sorry it didn’t turn out good. I hate sardine disappointment. 😣
I have never eaten canned fish but im finding yours and canned fish files fascinating. Lmao
Haha thank you! You’ll find yourself in the sardine aisle in no time! Thanks for watching 😁😁
Need a fork! Wow. Haven't come across this yet. 🫣🤓
@@GT_Racer347 this was before I had forks on standby lol
@ So much fun!
