I don't think many would argue that Australian seafood is the best in the world, unless you were from New Zealand.

best is a completely subjective term

Sardines are very healthy, but, IMO, taste like sh*t.

Those red cans from Roza company you see everywhere, my wife calls sardines, are of course mackerel.

Not sure if I have actually seen sardines.

I thought they mostly tasted of the tomato sauce they come in, can't compare them to sh*t, never had it.

Yes MOST of those RedCans from ROZA are indeed Mackrel. Have a look in the adjacent shelf and you will see "Three Ladies Cooks" Sardines also Mackrel. If you [similarly to me] do not like that yucky Tomato Sauce (?) then look for AYAM brand Sardines in Oil.

I have often looked for AYAM brand sardines in oil - without success. AYAM mostly sell sardines in tom. sauce like everyone else. I even emailed AYAM - but nothing back. Imported sardines can be had at Villa supermarkets - but expensive. Oh where is John West ? perhaps I'll email them too.

They are available at a few places in Pattaya, Foodmart and Freindship both have them
