Small sardines and piquillo peppers, paired together. A perfect tinned tandem. Tiny, tender, yet meaty, small sardines with just the right amount of piquant piquillo pepper. Authentic sardinillas from Spain will win over all seafood lovers. It's the balanced flavor, you see.

The tininess makes them especially tender, and as you'll read below, very cute.

"Perfect for the picnic. This was the fish that started it all for us. I bought a can at a local shop and shared it at a family picnic at Roque Bluffs State Park, on the shore of Frenchmans Bay. Everyone loved the Sardines so I had to track down the the source. The rest is Fishstory." - Carol M., setting a spectacular scene for enjoying small, sensational sardines
