 JW> I've been getting my ... sardines from the Filipino section of
 JW> the store.

 SH> from the asian store downstairs ... different brands from europe
 SH> but much cleaner then dirty old brunswick.

The Filipino brands my Your Independent Grocer carries are Mega and
Ligo. They are the two big names in the Philippines. Their fish are
smaller and more delicate than Brunswick's. They come in little,
tall, upright, round cans and they are 70 cents/100grams vs
Brunswick at $1.88 as well as nicer. I think they are almost as nice
as Club Des Millionnaires Brisling sprats at $3.33.

Since YIG and No Frills are both Loblaws names your store could
easily carry them if they don't already.
