King Oscar Mackerel, Mediterranean Style, 4.05 oz Can, 12-Pk

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

These are excellent, convenient and easy to keep handy. I wish there was a larger portion, but I understand. And there is still good value for the money - good value and great taste.

My son and husband LOVE these! Great source of protein. Taste and texture perfect. A staple in our house.

Love these sardines.The sauce is delicious and have a few olives mixed in with them.I would order them again,they have become my favorites.I thought they were priced right also.Try them you’ll love them.

These are pretty tasty and almost a meal in themselves.

Never thought in a million years that I'd be a tin fish girl, but this is excellent. Great taste and texture.

Omg... This fish is absolutely delicious. I have been eating canned fish as part of a healthy diet for over 3 years. I purchased a can of this at the grocery store and instantly fell in love. The flavor combination is exquisite l, no fishy taste or aftertaste. I travel for work and can easily throw a can or two in my backpack. Eaten as a snack or as lunch its one of my best discoveries yet. I highly recommend this.

This Mediterranean Mackerel is delicious. The favor is perfectly balanced. I really love this brand of can fish. It’s convenient and a good healthy food to add to my husband’s lunch box, along with an apple, some nuts and my homemade granola. I really appreciate the firm texture of this nutritious meal. It is most definitely a cut above, and at a terrific price point. I have compared it to much higher priced mackerel on the market, and prefer the taste and texture of King Oscar. I am glad that I ordered it. It’s a great way to add a high protein addition to our diet.
