Shop Sprats Riga Smoked (12 Pack) Gold Star 5.6 Oz Tins in vegetable Oil Latvia. Review: I've loved sardines ("sprats" if you prefer) all my life. My father introduced them to me when I was very young; I've never lost my taste for them. Over the years, I've tried scores of sardine brands from all parts of the world: Portuguese from the waters of the Atlantic, Norwegian from the cold waters of the North Sea, American from the Pacific and packed in California...many of them excellent, some barely edible. Riga Smoked Sprats are--hands down--the very best I've ever had. Brisling sardines harvested from the Baltic and packed in Latvia, Riga's sardines are simply and absolutely wonderful. The flesh is moderately firm (texture second to none), sweet, and lightly smoked to perfection. I discovered them a few weeks ago at a market near my home but was reluctant to buy them for two reasons: first and foremost, they are packed in vegetable oil (I've always preferred sardines packed in olive oil with no other added seasonings or ingredients); and, second, they are very reasonably priced although they contained about 1.5 ounces more then the typical brand (how good could they be at that price?...more for less?). I was very pleasantly surprised. I'm told Riga packs their sardines in refined soy oil which has a neutral flavor profile and, therefore, allows just the flavor of the sardine to come through. And what a flavor! I'm all in for Riga! If you are a fan of high quality sardines packed in olive oil (not tomato sauce, not garlic, not lemon, and certainly not water), then you owe it to yourself to try these wonderful fish from Riga. On another matter: Given all the rigamarole regarding what is and what is not good for us (coffee wasn't, now it is; reach for the margarine, not the butter, and now margarine is more or less considered a poison...and so on), it's reassuring to know that sardines are really, really good for us. UPDATE: I still love this brand of sardine and still feel they are the very best I've ever had. The problem is that they are very hard to find here on desertcart and even more difficult to get the various sellers to disclose the type of "Riga" sardines they are offering as they simply don't know the product. I ordered them a second time from a different seller and received "Riga" sardines, but they were not the tiny Riga brislings I was looking for. They were good but not the same. So here's the deal: you want Riga "Gold" tiny brislings. Good luck finding them and better luck finding a vendor who knows the product and can advise you accordingly. I've struck out several times over the last few months. If there is a Riga Gold lover out there who knows what I'm talking about and knows where I can get a fix, let me know...we'll work something out. And another thing: Make certain you have a good, old fashioned, manual can opener. The Riga cans with the pull tab are impossible to open. Review: Love it!!! Best taste, quality and price! The texture is perfect, every fish is of the same size and firmness, not too oily, the cans are easy to open too. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00SA65N94 | | ASIN | B00SA65N94 | | Brand Name | Grilled Catch | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (620) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (620) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item Package Weight | 2.54 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 0.35 Pounds | | Item model number | 2 | | Model Number | 2 | | Number of Pieces | 12 | | Package Dimensions | 21.01 x 16 x 11.71 cm; 158.76 g | | Part Number | II-fba 850307000667-12 | | UPC | 021143360004 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Grilled Catch - **Item weight:** 0.35 Pounds - **Number of pieces:** 12 - **Package weight:** 2.54 Kilograms - **UPC:** 021143360004 ## Images ![Sprats Riga Smoked (12 Pack) Gold Star 5.6 Oz Tins in vegetable Oil Latvia - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8196usBbjmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are these the same as the Riga Golds? The top of the can is different (blank in this listing's photo).** A: First 2 batches I bought were genuine Riga Gold. When I hit "buy again" 2 wekjs ago, I received a pack of sprots of unknown source -- no info on who made them, just a text "imported by ...". Also the tins looked very different: "Riga Gold" nowhere to find, colors different, some text in Hebrew. I decided not to use them, as I'm not sure what this actually is. **Q: Is this Kosher?** A: Sure it is Kosher. The fish is Kosher and it in oil only **Q: Is this package of 12 or 8? In the description is written 12 and in the photo only 8** A: I ordered my Sprats from GO2GO and there were a total of 12 tins in my order. I only have 10 tins left their that good ! When its time to reorder, I had such great service from GO2GO, its the company Ill reorder from. **Q: What is expiration date?** A: Mine don't expire until 6/2023, and I've had them for several months. Like most canned fish, though, they should last far beyond that. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***O on 23 January 2020* I've loved sardines ("sprats" if you prefer) all my life.

Best taste, quality and price! The texture is perfect, every fish is of the same size and firmness, not too oily, the cans are easy to open too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on 28 October 2020* Before moving to a new location, I had a good source for these sprats and ate them frequently. They are very tasty. I am glad to find them on Amazon, although they are a little more expensive than I previously paid. Why sprats? If you want to eat fish, these are about the healthiest you can find. They are at the absolute bottom of the food chain, and only eat plankton. This means that you don't need to worry much about mercury and heavy metals as you would with tuna, for example. They are not an endangered resource. Did I mention they are tasty? A big spoonful in a ramen bowl is just heaven. Try them over a baked potato. Spread them over a nice crisp piece of homemade toast. Lots of goodness and food value here. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sprats Riga Smoked (12 Pack) Gold Star 5.6 oz Tins in Vegetable Oil Product of Latvia, Kosher - MW Polar Herring, Kipper Snacks, 3.53-Ounce (Pack of 12), 90% Less Sodium, Ready to Eat Canned Fish, Good Source of Vitamin D, Naturally Wood Smoked, No Artificial Flavors or Ingredients - King Oscar Mackerel in Olive Oil, 4.05 Ounce Can (Pack of 6, Packaging May Vary), Skinless & Boneless, Wild Caught Canned Mackerel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/694160175-sprats-riga-smoked-12-pack-gold-star-5-6-oz](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/694160175-sprats-riga-smoked-12-pack-gold-star-5-6-oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
