Comments from Eve tasting:

When the Eve team visited The Gleaner with their tasty treats recently, here is what tasters had to say.

1. The food was good. The crackers were right, the fish products had the right zing. I liked them. People will buy it.

2. The tuna was great, certainly would buy this.

3. Nice quick ideas, I would add some fresh pepper though.

4. Mackerel casserole was a little on the pepper side but it's OK. The sardine was good and the tuna was excellent, yum! yum! and it was one of my favourites of the lot.

5. I really enjoyed the mackerel and macaroni combination. The sardine dish wasn't bad either.

6. I appreciate the recipes and the twist they added to these everyday ingredients. And best of all, they require no cooking.

7. I really loved the mackerel casserole, it was really good.

8. The tuna spread was not bad, I liked it.
