What is the difference between crosspacked & 2 layer sardines? Thanks

I just ate the last can in a case of Crown Prince cross packed. Averaged 18-20 fish per can. My last few cases of Crown Prince two layer (packed cross ways, too!) averaged 16-17 fish per can, and were indistinguishable to my palate, but were 40% less damaging to my wallet (both versions packed in olive oil).

i called the company. 2 layer are packed length-wise in tin. cross-packed are even smaller and go across width in packing. Smaller are more expensive. Customer service 1-800-447-2524

The two layer are stack the length of the can. The sardine are larger and fewer about 18 to 20. The Crosspacked sardines are stacked at a 90 degrees angle compared to 2 layer. Also the sardines are smaller, you get about 25 to 30 sardines.

Crosspacked sardines are usually the smallest (and to me generally most flavorful) sardine and are packed cross-ways in the can vs. other sardines which are packed lengthwise in the can. Cross packed are generally two or more layers in the can and 2 layer can be either cross-ways or lengh-wise in the can. 2 layer in either case are generally smaller, tastier sardines.

There isn't a difference between the packages except the item count. I've also purchased it in a single count pack.

These are two layer. I have had the "Tiny Tots" and they are identical to these both in size (14-22 per can) and taste. In fact if you read the labels they are exactly the same size with the same ingredients so I'm not sure what the deal is with the "Tiny Tots" label. The best sardines in my opinion are the King Oscar "Cross Pack" which are smaller size with 24-34 fish per can.

According to their website there isn't a qualitative difference. Both varieties have the same listed properties, including: wild caught, 1.7 g omega-3, and BPA free cans.

They're the same thing.The warp of 2-pack is tha same as the regular one.The Amazon.com doesn't update it on time.

I don't know the difference between the two packs but the cooler is waterproof. We packed it daily for two weeks at the beach.

Think there are two sizes available. Mine was 2.2lbs and there were two packets in the box. Maybe a typo?

I was able to go to the website www.wildplanetfoods.com and it does say that the wild sardines are packed in cans that are bpa free. You may check it for yourself. I am still not sure about the Wild Planet Tuna.

Packaging could be part of it and a heavier material. I am really not sure why there is a 10 pound difference between the two fabrics. That is what my distributors web site shows.

I only pay 2.99 at my local Stop&Shop...and; I also see them on sale for as low as 1.99 to 2.40.Actually, I've seen the mainstream brands, which I find inferior in all ways, for 4 bucks and UP per can.Many times, Wild Planet is the best deal out there. They are sustainably caught, truly delicious, and I trust this company over the others....I've tasted some really awful mainstream sardines....never again.

No salt is added to these sardines. They are called "low salt" because they naturally contain 45mg of salt per container. I have these sardines on subscription. They are an awesome price as they usually cost over 3 dollars a can if you can find them in a supermarket.

There are several layers and each is individually wrapped. They stay fresh for a while. I do not remember how long it took for me to finish them but I am alone and never ate more than 2 at a time and not everyday so it took fairly long.

Not sure, it is not listed anywhere on the box or package. Try to google sardines and omega 3 fats.

I'm afraid one is "cod, sole and shrimp" - the others are salmon and one is just called ocean whitefish! I hope this helps!

Not skinless but they are mostly boneless. You will get some tiny bone pieces every now and then but they are soft and no big deal. These sardines have a nice flavor. Hope this helps.

As a fan over the years, I've noticed that it changes back and forth between Morocco and Portugal. Not randomly, but they may come from Morocco for five or six months and then they will come from Portugal for three or four months. Amazon always says Morocco in its advertisement, but it does vary. I have always preferred the Portugal ones for a nice, firm set of sardines, but as said above, the Moroccan fish does seem to be improving.

Nutritionally there is no difference in regards to the sardines themselves. The white box Crown Prince contains "pure olive oil" which is a combination of refined olive oil and virgin oils which are unrefined, hence the word "natural." The blue box Crown Prince contains basic olive oil. Neither box contains "extra virgin olive oil" which is superior in taste and antioxidants because such oil is delivered via unrefined cold processing (first pressing) resulting in less acidity as well. The other two oils found in the white and blue boxes are heat/chemical extracted. IMO there is no real nutritional difference between those two oils. Side Note: Crown Prince Natural "Brisling Sardines" DOES come in extra virgin olive oil. Nutritionally there is no difference in regards to the sardines themselves.
