Easy there. Sardine is a common name, and not a scientific one... which is why no scientists use common names... ‘Clupeiod fishes’ is probably a better descriptor. One can talk about a dozen species and call ‘em sardines.

Certain popular pesticides preferentially accumulate in lipids... I’d be careful about saying that sardines don’t pick up residual traces of nasty stuff...

Again, sorry, I used to be a marine scientist, and I’m a type A. Hope I didn’t offend.

Not at all - thanx for the fine tuning.

My point is that when I order Clupeiod on rye with onion and mustard with a draft, I am probably getting less lipid soluble stuff than I would get with another fatty (but older) fish.

Lunch time!!!!
