The page you linked for John West states the sardines are caught in UK, Portuguese, Spanish and Moroccan coastal waters, and JW appears to be a UK based company now under Thai ownership. Anyway, the fish was fine, perfectly servicable but not memorable.

 

 

Thai Union have a dreadful reputation for making statements later shown to be false. They have been named and investigated in connection with the slave trade and using child labour in the sardine industry. Studies have shown them to use harmful fishing methods. They promised full traceability for every fish in the John West line, but failed to provide that. All of this information is fully documented and freely available.

Don't just trust their website.
