Meaty and quite good, but not my favorite sardines
I ordered a bunch of the Roland Sardines in olive oil because my favorite (Season sardines in olive oil with bay leaf) have been out of stock for too long.
The Roland Sardines are a product of Morocco, whose waters border Spain and Portugal, which are arguably the best source of the Brisling sardines.
The tin I opened contained four large, plump sardines. The quantity of oil seemed a bit much compared to the volume of sardines, and the skin was somewhat ragged. The sardines were quite nicely-flavored, though I thought they smelled and tasted slightly more fishy than the Season sardines.
The price is very reasonable on these sardines, though if I have an option I will purchase my more expensive favorites. If they become available again I will post a side-by-side comparison.
