This r/cannedsardines discussion makes it sound like Brunswick, at least, is widely available in Canada. Also look for German imported Rugenfisch, outstanding herring fillets in a bunch of sauce flavors and formats (smoked, peppered) [https://old.reddit.com/r/CannedSardines/comments/1f1udxd/im\_relatively\_new\_to\_the\_game\_and\_picked\_this\_up/](https://old.reddit.com/r/CannedSardines/comments/1f1udxd/im_relatively_new_to_the_game_and_picked_this_up/) ---

The market two blocks away from me claims to have 100g tins of kippered sardines for C$2.79. Maybe I’ll try them. I make a breakfast spread of sardines, cream cheese, cottage cheese and I could sub these. ---

That’s exactly the product I used to buy and enjoy until they disappeared from the stores about two years ago. I don’t doubt you.

Says the 12 pack is available, although if you want a smaller quantity I have no idea. For the record, Amazon.ca says only 6 left. I wonder if they’re transitioning away from the herring and all we’re finding is old stock. Although I don’t know the difference between “snacks” and straight kippered herrings. I also don’t know if smoked is a no-go for you. ---

I don’t know if the British Food Shop has anything but you might take a look. > **[Canned Fish and Meat](https://www.britishfoodshop.com/collections/seafood)** > > In-store and on-line retail sales of imported food from South Africa, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany etc. for expats and locals. I have bookmarked them for some time now for other reasons but it does appear they have quite an assortment of canned fish products. ---

Go to the Customer Service window and ask if they can order a case for you. They may not carry them on the shelf, but it doesn’t mean the warehouse doesn’t have them. Worth a shot. ---

I just tried to order them to be shipped to my aunt’s address in Toronto and it seemed like it would work. > **[Kersen Kippers Sardines Mackerel Sea Cucumber herring canned tinned](https://kersen.myshopify.com/)** > > Kipper sardines sardine, fish Kersen, omega 3, gluten free, wild caught, product of Canada Nova Scotia herring smoked fish, peppered herring, mackerel, sunflower oil Costco, New Brunswick, natural, no preservatives, protein, vitamin d, sustainable,... The description says it’s herring, not sardines. CAD 39.95 for 15 100g cans. $20 shipping. So CAD 4.00 a can. I can get the Brunswick brand from our local store for USD 2.49, which’s is CAD 3.43. So the price is not outrageous. ---
