About Fish oil, sardine
The Clupeinae are the small, silvery, schooling fish better known on the plate as herring, sardines, and sprats. Rarely more than a hand's length long, these oily fish travel in vast shoals through the world's cooler coastal seas and have fed people for thousands of years. Their flavor is rich and pronounced, and they take beautifully to smoking, salting, pickling, and canning, techniques that gave the world kippers, rollmops, and the humble tin of sardines packed in oil.
They are among the best sources of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and because they are eaten whole, bones and all, they also deliver a rare hit of calcium and vitamin D along with lean protein and vitamin B12. Being small and quick to reproduce, they tend to be low in mercury and rank among the more sustainable seafood choices. Grill them fresh over high heat, or keep a few cans on hand for fast, affordable meals on toast or tossed through pasta.
