Bar Harbor Natural Smoked Wild Kippers, 6.7 oz (190g) | Naturally Wood Smoked | Ready to Eat | Naturally Rich in Omega-3 | EZ-Open, BPA-NI Lined Can (Pack of 12)

Even people who don't like canned fish can appreciate these. Excellent flavor, firm consistency, and my favorite canned fish available.

I eat a lot of canned fish. I love the convenience of it as a nutritious guilt-free mid-day/evening snack. I look forward to coming home after work and popping open (also easy open lid, awesome) a can right out of the cupboard. Bar Harbor has become my go-to for Smoked Kippers, and one of the things I love most about it is the size of the can. This is 6.7 Ounces! That is a lot of fish, and they are able to fit meaty substantial filets in there because of it. It is the perfect size to complement a salad or some bread to round out a meal. Or as a snack, I eat it on toast with capers, mustard and pepper, sometimes together or each apart. It is savory, smoky and splendid. BPA free cans are critical when eating canned fish regularly. These have become a staple in my kitchen. I buy 12 cans every 4 weeks, and plan to do so for the indefinite future.

Taste great.

I usually buy Trader Joe's smoked kipper snacks and really like their uber smokiness. These don't have the same density of smoke flavor, but they are packed in water instead of the heavier oil that TJ's uses and it gives them a more delicate demeanor. They are still tough enough to stand up to most people's rigorous "fork test". I am trying a different brand this next purchase, but I wouldn't hesitate to come back to these. Bonus points for a cardboard wrapper. Isn't it about time we ban plastic wrappers for goods that don't require the added freshness??

I usually buy Brunswick or Polar brand and they were comperable in price, however Bar Harbor brand has twice the product amount and although they're not farmed or packed in Maine, I favor the Brand. Especially when I'm getting twice the product for the same money. They list 3 cans for $21.- or 12 cans for $42.- buy the 12, they stay good for 2 Years+ they're Great mixed with Tuna or in place of tuna. They're good on salads. I eat them out of the can. Now for the questions I get most often. No, there aren't any heads, tails or bones. They're smoked filets, 3 to 5 per can.🙂

I believe that Bar Harbor Wild Smoked Kippers are the best canned smoked fish I have ever had. the can is relatively easy to open, filets keep their shape, I am convinced that they have exceptional nutritional value, and I think they are yummy! I often open a can, drain (and drink or save) the juice, and squirt in some horseradish mustard or just plain horseradish and maybe add cut-up pickled okra or olive salad or green chili (for example), and eat most of a can in one sitting. It is plenty of protein for a meal...or 2! I try to always have them on hand. I am a 74-year-old woman, 5'3" and 123 lbs. I have arthritis in my thumbs so sometimes have to grab the pull tab with a cloth or napkin.

I first ate sardines as a kid. My Dad had them all the time - snacks while watching football, Friday nights when his friends were over for poker. They were a staple on our family camping trips. I liked them then and I like them now although until recently I didn't eat them as much as I used to. I keep a can or two in the pantry and enjoy them now and then. Recently, I went to a gourmet food store and found Bar Harbor All Natural Smokes Wild Kippers. They were on sale so I bought a couple of cans. UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE! Comparing these to the regular sardines I grew up with is like comparing a 10 year old Kia to a brand new Lexus. The Bar Harbors are absolutely delicious! I just served these as an appetizer to some friends I had over for a BBQ. I opened a few cans and put the fish in the middle of a serving plate and surrounded it with a variety of crackers. My guests thought this was some kind of expensive imported smoked fish, they loved it and it disappeared quickly. If you have ever had sardines and enjoyed them then you will be extremely happy with these. It is hard to get over to that little gourmet grocery all the time, so I am very very very happy that I can order these on Amazon - and at a great price. Yes, Amazon's price is less than I pay at the gourmet store.

Wow... words may not be able to describe the delight these brought me. One of my new favorite tinned fish treats.
