About Fish, sardine, Pacific, canned in tomato sauce, drained solids with bone

The Pacific sardine is a small, silvery, oil-rich fish that punches well above its weight nutritionally. A member of the herring family found throughout the Pacific, it is one of the great affordable superfoods of the sea, loaded with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and, when eaten with the soft edible bones, a generous dose of calcium. Because sardines are small and short-lived, they accumulate very little mercury, making them one of the safest and most sustainable fish you can choose.

The flavor is rich and savory, and they are wonderful grilled fresh over high heat, but most people enjoy them canned, packed in olive oil, water, or tomato sauce, ready to pile onto toast, toss into pasta and salads, or eat straight from the tin. Fresh sardines are best cooked simply and quickly. Keep canned sardines in the pantry as a quick, protein-packed meal, and reach for fresh ones when you can grill them the same day they are bought.
