What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Customer feedback is mixed on flavour and value, and some buyers report soft texture, concerns about authenticity and less olive oil than expected. The listing identifies brisling sardines and gives Ireland as the country of origin, while customers have questioned whether the fish are Irish. These are differing claims, not an established product defect. Check the selected listing and label if fish origin or firm texture is important.
