Smaller type / Brisling / Scottish / Sardines

[TVAVATAR]

Hey guys, 

Does anyone know where you can get the smaller John West type of Sardines in Thailand? 

Ideally the ones in water (or olive oil maybe). 

Also popularly known as Brisling Sardines. 

Basically the smaller type in ~100 o 120g rectangular tins usually. 

Thanks

There are multiple brands and versions in all the big supermarkets, Big C Tesco Makro and so on.

 

You can also get John West Sardines in Oil or Brine etc online via Lazada

400 THB , they must be joking... you can get King Oscar sardines for 99 -119 THB on Shoppe, or most big supermarkets have them, they are the only sardines I can eat, that the flavour does not repeat on my later.

Big C has Ayam brand sardines in olive oil.  Unfortunately, though, they're halal.

Wow you guys are awesome thank you. 

 

So, just quickly I should have been clearer on this, "Basically the smaller type in ~100 to 120g rectangular tins usually. "

I mean I am looking for the smaller type of Sardine (Sprat, Brisling, Scottish, Norway, North Atlantic etc). 

(I actually don't care about the size or shape of the tin! ????).

 

I think Ayam are the larger more common type (or at least more common internationally it seems)? 

 

The price of these is something I'm finding it hard to come to terms with! ????

But I have obviously been spoilt growing up in UK & Australia. These are what I am used to:

So 34 THB.

 

It's important to me because I have 2 of these a day. 

They are much healthier than the larger type and I also can't stand the taste of the larger ones (well as much). 

 

I have found some on Alibaba (UK option / suppliers not China). 

Where ordering 100 isn't an issue. 

They are still quoting but it's looking good so far.

Didn't realise just how helpful this would be so I've post another thread more on general food shopping for Westerners to stop this one getting side tracked. 

In case I'm missing things again (like not knowing about Lazada & Shoppe).
