Our cat will say , “Look what’s that” and then sell sardines off your plate
Sardines are a very underrated food, but I do crack open a tin every so often.
I love sardines right of the can.
“10 Wonderful Benefits of Sardines”
Plus, you don’t need a very big fish hook to catch’em...and little tiny worms.
Do you remove the bones?
Ribonucleic Acid. There was a fad in the fashion magazines about 30 years ago - women ate them for rejuvenating properties and to retard aging.
Mustard sauce not soybean oil. With an occasional cracker.
Bones are calcium supplement.
Mackerel tastes and looks similar, contains a lot of omega-3 and potassium, and is cheaper. I usually have a few cans of it on hand.
That's how I eat them all the day. A perfect lunch to pack to work. All you need is a toothpick (or a plastic fork for the mushier ones) to eat them with.
I prefer the sardines with skin and bones and packed with olive oil. This is the most nutritious version.
King Oscar Mediterranean Style is my favorite brand.

Sardinia wasn’t named after sardines.
Sardines were named after Sardinia.
I eat a can (3.5 oz.) of sardines with breakfast 3 times a week. Season brand, available at Costco sometimes, or Amazon. Not too bland, but better with mustard.
No way! The bones are very important to consume with the fish (skin too). This is where much of the nutrition is. The bones give you much needed calcium. In canned sardines, the bones are cooked to brittle mush so no worries about getting them stuck in your throat.
Yum.
I eat them with a drizzle of balsamic and a squeeze of lemon.
Delightful.
Great post. Thanks. Sardines are an excellent way to get your Omega 3s without all the mercury. Also good for brain health.
“Sardines provide 2 grams of heart-healthy omega-3s per 3 ounce serving, which is one of the highest levels of omega-3 and the lowest levels of mercury of any fish. They contain a great source of calcium and Vitamin D, so they support bone health, too. Other than fortified products, there are few other food sources of Vitamin D.”

Lies. Vitamins, yes.
But no Omega 3.
Canning temperatures destroy the primary benefit of consuming fish.
That’s my favorite, too. The fishies are firm, and I love the black olives. And they’re not too pricy.
Wild Planet sardines are my second favorite.
I like them with lemon, too! Glad to meet another person who does.
