When I opened up this tin of sardines, I was surprised at how small they were. It turns out that was because they were a specific variety of pilchard sardines from Spain. Yes, I liked these delicate slivers more than the big ones that one oftentimes gets in cans. And I even drank the remaining oil with a teaspoon, as it was not only rich but also pleasantly savory. Thumbs up.

where do you get your canned seafood from? I'm in a bit of a canned seafood phase but whatever is cheap isn't good and whatever is expensive is hard to find!
I think that one was from Little Farms, but I'm usually on the lookout for any interesting cans that I might come across, including some surprises at FairPrice Finest.
Couldn't agree with you more @bma.. I am pleasantly surprised by the selection at Cold Storage / Finest these days though the better ones there are around $4.50-8 a can (in spring water / EVOO tend to be cheaper than the fancier ones drowning in mediterranean spices... ) which isn't too far off from what Little Farm sells for $8-11 a can!
The one in this post looks fairly simple though, so I wonder if it is any better than what you find in Finest. How much were these (Shines) again? I will one day travel back to Spain + Portugal and dump my suitcase with all manner of canned goodness - not just fish!

I don't recall how much it was, but the website says S$9.
