Description
Bringing you Premium Quality Seafood since 1902 – King Oscar® Anchovies are sustainably wild-caught off the coasts of Argentina, Peru and Chile, where fishing has been a way of life for generations. Our gourmet anchovies are transformed into whole "flat" boneless fillets by skilled artisans, then traditionally aged in salty brine for 4 to 6 months before being hand-packed in pure olive oil.

All the cans of this brand carried by Target are probably expired or not properly canned. The one I received in April 2025 has a best by date of June 2025 but canned fish should have best by dates years out. When I opened the can the oil sprayed everywhere onto my hair and clothes and it literally smelled like feces. I have never complained about fishy fish but this is not fishy it is rotten. I wish I could get compensation for damages what is this experience?
Damaged when examend / opened , Exploded, King anchovies caned.

I bought these in March 25, exp date is Jun 25. Fish looked fine. But smell was off, kinda like meaty. Taste was odd like it was marinated in something before packing. Ate the whole can. No mushy or discolored fillets. Oil was clear. Will not buy this brand anymore as the flavor is not how canned anchovies should taste.
Don't recommend at all

If only I would have read the reviews, I have never tasted something as awful as these anchovies. They were absolutely rancid! I took one small bite that I immediately spit out, but to get rid of the taste I had to do salt water rinses, brush my teeth, and drink orange juice. Spare yourself the experience.

I as well opened a can in January 2025 with an expiration date of March 2025, and it nearly exploded and smelled horrendous, and I have used anchovies often and have never smelled a can such as this one. I will NEVER trust King Oscar anchovies ever again.

Absolutely Disgusting - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
I purchased 5 tins of this product, and upon opening, all of them had a putrid, rotten smell, despite the expiration date being March 2025 (4 months away). Something is clearly wrong—this seems like a bad batch. I attempted to taste it, and it was absolutely disgusting. For reference, the batch on the cans is marked “DSA-4062/0”.

Ordered this May 2020 and the product I received expired April 2020. I do mostly shipping because of Covid and it will be a hassle to return this. What a waste.

Far better than Roland and Cento. There simply are no better anchovies than King Oscar. Quality, taste, and the oil are excellent. We use the King Oscar anchovies on pizza.

The one star review is only for Target for shipping me expired product. I already know these are excellent anchovies.

I love these anchovies and Target has the best price. They are very salty, but that makes me crave them. I eat them on cheese and crackers, in sandwiches, and put them in my puttanesca sauce.

These are some of the best oil packed anchovies fillets available. They've been selected as the Cook's Illustrated / America's Test Kitchen winning brand, and for good reason. Their taste offers a great balance of meaty and briny, and their texture is firm and easy to work with while cooking. It can be hard to track these down at local supermarkets, but they're definitely worth seeking out over other brands. I'm not sure what reviewer trackman515 was expecting as far as saltiness, but cured anchovies are absolutely going to have a high sodium level by design. Depending upon the application, many recipes call for rinsing them prior to consumption. If you're looking for a milder substitute just for eating plain as a spread, the Wild Planet anchovies aren't cured and therefore have a much less salty flavor profile.
Salty!!

I can't eat it since it is like eating a block of salt.
