Sardine Tournament of Champions - Round 4

As I finish up the final round of sardine testing, before moving on to the semi-finals, I want to thank those bravely following me through this fun experiment and providing side humor, to these “sardine” posts, with occasional comments. It has been much appreciated. I promise everyone that this exploratory ordeal of the fishy kind will soon be over and I will then once again lapse back into my usual pattern of inane drivel!

10. Additional Comments – Worst of all brands tasted. The smell, taste and texture of this sardine are just not working together to make this a product worth buying again.

  2. I just hope that the winner can be bought here in South Georgia! Keep up the good work! If it were not for sardine lovers like yourself spreading the good cheer, some people may not ever know that sardines are truly "steak in a can"!!
