King Oscar Mackerel in Olive Oil, Mediterranean Style, 4.05 Ounce Can (Pack of 12), Skinless & Boneless, Wild Caught Canned Mackerel (Packaging May Vary)

This must be one of the least 'fishy' tasting canned fish I've ever eaten. Those little condiments inside (olives, etc) really make this mackerel's taste pop. Must be the tastiest canned fish ever! And I love the nutritiousness factor - loaded with Omegas and high quality protein! Goes well with a salad or another side dish, like rice. A decent one person portion, too.

I just got my order and ate 2 cans today. Was coming off a 22 hour fast, and wanted enough protein and fat to balance my macros, yet not eat so much to impede my next meal in a couple of hours. I am also carnivore, well more like ketovore as I chose the Mediterranean style which as some olives and spices. But I do keep my carbs to 10 grams TOTAL per day or less. So lots of meat, fish, butter. I already am enamored with King Oscar products. It was my gateway brand into the world of canned fish some 15 years ago or so. No matter the fish, I usually go for plain, packed in water or oil, and preferably with bones. I am open to flavored options so long as it isnt adding much in way of carbs or isnt sitting in junk ingredients. Kinda taking a walk on the wild side here, or dirty side as far as clean eating goes with this having seasonings, olives, and not having bones (bones are nutritive!). BUT, I bet I was hungry when I ordered these, and since I eat so many sardines, mackeral, and other canned fish... I thought why not have something a little different? I usually eat 2 tins of fish. My thought was to have this as a topper to my usual plain sardines or mackerel. But what did I do for my first taste? I dumped 2 tins into a bowl, and gobbled it all up. I had to refrain from licking the bowl clean as I did not drain this first. GAWD, this was GOOD. It is a tad salty, but if you happen to be on a very very low carb diet, then you know salt is needful. The sodium in this made it extra tasty to me. I think it also lends enough flavor to be used on top of grains, pasta, potato, salad or vegetables--if any of that is your thing. For me, I will likely pair it with one tin of plain, as intended. Give it all a nice pop of flavor without being too much. Or maybe I just go for it again and gobble down 2 tins of this lovely Mediterranean flavor option. I was really satisfied with it taste and texture wise. Speaking er writing of texture. The mackerel is firm with gentle give. Not mushy. It has a good solid mouth feel that makes me feel like I am eating something. It's divine in my opinion. I never eat my tinned fish hot, but I can see this being a nice convenient option to go toward a hot meal, or of course cold or room temp. Just a few slices of olives. I can see them, taste them, and enjoy them. Seasonings are evident too. A nice pop of flavor. The tin is about typical as far as opening goes. Peel back, try not to splatter oil on yourself. All in a little box. Stacks well. Clearly identifies what is in this. I have a huge hoard of tinned fish options, so I appreciate when I can figure out what is what quickly. I already know I will buy this again. So 5 stars from me

As a lover of Mediterranean cuisine and a health-conscious individual, these sardines checked all the right boxes for me. From the moment I opened the can, I was greeted with a delightful aroma, hinting at the quality within. The first thing that caught my attention was the skinless and boneless feature, making them incredibly convenient to use and enjoy. This aspect also enhanced the eating experience, allowing me to fully appreciate the tender, succulent texture of the sardines without any distractions. The taste was exceptional, with a perfect balance of savory and umami flavors. The Mediterranean-style olive oil in which the sardines were packed added a subtle richness that complemented the fish beautifully. Moreover, I was impressed by the superior quality of these sardines. King Oscar is known for their commitment to sustainable fishing practices, and it was evident in the firmness and freshness of the sardines. Each bite was a testament to their dedication to delivering a premium product. The convenient packaging made it easy to incorporate these sardines into various dishes, whether as a protein-packed addition to salads, a flavorful topping for crackers, or even as an ingredient in pasta sauces. In conclusion, King Oscar Skinless Boneless Mediterranean Sardines are a true culinary delight. They offer a delicious and convenient way to incorporate the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids into your diet, all while supporting sustainable fishing practices. Whether you're a seafood enthusiast, a Mediterranean food lover, or simply seeking a nutritious snack, these sardines are a must-try. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their culinary experience with a touch of Mediterranean magic.

I like sardines and found these mackerel as an alternative. They taste better! The texture, in my opinion, is firm and superior to sardines and tuna. The Mediterranean style in olive oil, with herbs and the green and black olives, is the way to go - I serve them for my kids over rice, and they ask for it again and again. These also check the right nutritional boxes for me.

I love love mackerel. I used to purchase another great tasting brand but their olive oil was always sold out or way too expensive when in stock. And I had to stay with olive oil for medical reasons. So I made the switch which I'm not regretting. This product is very tasty. I love the nifty tab to open it. The filets are actually filets and not pieces or mush. On the downside...too expensive, some of the cans were a bit fishy similar to sardines, and sodium content was a tad high especially if you're watching your daily salt intake. Overall, great product and I will definitely purchase again.

Absolutely delicious! I drained as much oil off the fish as possible since I didn’t want that much olive oil in a serving. Delish to add to a salad or as a quick standalone meal. The taste is much better than sardines! I love this product! ❤️

I really LOVE these King Oscar Mackerel, Mediterranean Style cans! These are so delicious, and as a personal, private chef, I should know of what I speak. In a pinch, you have a satisfying meal. The flavors are robust and truly well blended. The fish is skinless and boneless and sublime. I always keep these (and the Salmon variety) on hand. Thank you, King Oscar, you are a cut above all the rest!
