National Sardines Day

On National Sardines Day, these silver little fishes are recognized on National Sardines Day, November 24th. They may not be able to fit into your plate, but they sure do pack in the flavor.

Although some people are reluctant to try these tiny, silver fish, others find sardines a delectable snack that can be enjoyed on their own or with crackers.

Sardines are many species of small, oily fish related to herrings. They are also found in herrings. While we're most familiar with sardines packed in cans, some prefer fresh sardines grilled. This small fish can also be pickled and smoked. When canned, they can be packed with water, olive, sunflower or soybean oil, or tomato, chili, or mustard sauce.

Probably originated from Sardinia's Mediterranean island of Sardinia, where there were an abundance of sardines. The word sardine was first used in English at the start of the 15th century.

In the 1950s, the sardine canning industry reached its peak in the United States. The Stinson Seafood plant in Prospect Harbor, Maine, the country's last large sardine cannery, closed on April 15, 2010, after 135 years in operation.
