l4ml4m Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 hi, do you know the Oscar sardines ? They are sold at Tops but hard to find and not always available: https://www.tops.co.th/en/king-oscar-brisling-sardines-extra-virgin-olive-oil-two-layer-106g-0034800002001 Have you seen them anywhere else ? They really are the best Sardines that I have ever tried, and if you don't know what are good sardines, you should try them, they cannot compare with any Thai zhit sardines sold here. Enjoy !

balo Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Not only Oscar sardines but Oscar mackerel in tomato sauce. 109 baht. Great on sandwiches. Tastes just like my favorite back home in Norway.

I was just curious where they were caught or farmed and canned and found it interesting that Thai Union Group owns the company.

Yes interesting history that made them world famous. "The King Oscar export brand was founded in 1902, when King Oscar II, King of Norway and Sweden, gave Chr. Bjelland & Co (no), one of Norway's leading canning companies at the time, special royal permission to use his name and likeness on a line of sardine products. Over the years, the King Oscar brand expanded into new markets, introduced new product lines, and was eventually acquired by several different parent companies as the sardine canning industry evolved in Norway. Today, King Oscar AS is owned by Thai Union Group, one of the largest seafood producers in the world." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Lin Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The supermarkets in CentralWorld and Central Chidlom both have the full assortment. Also, I find Tops to vary widely from location to location, you might just try another Tops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but not suitable if you have kidney problems or gout as sardines and mackerel are very high on the list of foods to be avoided. Check the salt content, pretty high as well. My local supermarket must have at least fifty types of tinned sardines and mackerel but only one tin of sardines in olive oil (Ayam brand, good). Almost all the rest are smothered in sweet tomato sauce. I used to love King Oscar sardines as a kid but off the menu for me now sadly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only eating EU imported sardines cans, any others are disgusting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not from EU then. If your TOPS are out, try another TOPS try Bei Otto in Sukh Soi 20 (BKK) or Foodland or Villa Market Have seen BigC wit such as well the stock vary a lot between the shops the more you hunt and look the hungrier you get and become able to down a heap of those fishes .. step on it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
