Wild Planet website states that the sardomes are caught in the North Pacific Ocean and come from both California and Japan. Hope this helps.

The sardines are caught off the coast of California in the Pacific ocean, unfortunately the last plant to can sardines in North America closed a long time ago, so they have to send them to Viet Nam to be processed so as to be sold in the USA. You can ask Wild Planet anything over e-mail and from my experience they are extremely nice and respond to everything.

They're labeled 'Product of Morocco' so that could be almost anywhere in the Mediterranean or Atlantic as far as the fishing banks...I've never questioned it before although recently given some articles I've been wondering about this & not just in regard to Roland products.. The prices on this & similar products in particular low - sodium with bones has become quite high to me lately.. Indicating increasing scarcity. I would just suggest you call or email Roland...By the way also be advised that these 'sardines' are probably 'Herring sprats'.. There is no legal definition of 'sardines'.. When I ate them {called sardines} fresh ..grilled on the beach... years ago in Morocco, Portugal, Spain ,Italy & Brazil...they were considerably larger than those available in cans in the US...either now or even 50+ years ago when my folks would have them in the States...But they are tasty & I think still healthful. Good luck !

There is a number on each can. You can go to their website and type on the number and it tells you where your tuna was caught, how it was caught, and who caught it. I tried it out. My can was caught in the South Pacific on the vessel San Columbia captained by Alec Aitken. The vessel is a New Zealand vessel. There are a few more things they talk about. The only problem is you have to buy the tuna and type in the number to figure that out. I guess you don't have to buy it if you have a smartphone and can do it in the store.

Hello K.R. I found the answer to your question in the Q&A section of this product. Below is Young Life's response: "Our fish oil is sourced from anchovies and mackerel, which swim in the cold Humboldt Current in Chili (they are not farm raised). Thanks, Kurt - Young Life Research ". I hope this helps.

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.

The ingredients says purified deep sea fish oil from anchovies and sardines .so i guess both would be the answer for your question! I hope that helps

Nancy: I just noticed on the canister I have it says "product of China", yet the company is located in Sun Valley, California, so your guess is as good as mine. I do intend to send an e-mail to the company for further information.

The can says: Produced for Wild Planet Foods, Inc. (1-800-998-9946) McKinleyville, CA Processed in Vietnam . This is not telling you where it is caught but is does say it is pole and troll caught. It touts to be lowest in mercury. I eat it and am convinced it is the best I can find and afford......best taste of ALL I have tried....no water or oil added......rich flavor. Hope this helps, Barbara.

The packaging says China. I have used them on fish, poultry, meat and game including deer and I am pleased with the performance.

For as long as I've use salmon oil, I've not refrigerated and have not had it spoiled. I live in Hawaii...the tropics. Recently I 've switched to Icelandic Anchovy Sardine Oil as Anchovies are not bottom feeders so less heavy metals.

That's a good question, I sent this to my sister as a present and she thought someone sent her salmon because that's what the package smelled like, so I just assumed that it did in fact come from Alaska, however that doesn't mean it was made there. I will say she is very happy with it.

MANUFACURED in usa does not mean the FISH ARE USA. MADE IN USA only means that it is manufactured here. They do not say where the fish source is!!!!!

The sardines are wide...and 3 or 4 to a can. They are not the small layered sardines as are in the flatter cans.

I called Braga-had assumed all products were grown on their farm. "We grow the pistachio's, the almonds come from a neighbor, the cashews from Vietnam, walnuts-northern ca, pecans come from Missouri." Good question. :)
