Canned sardines are a convenient starting point for Spanish seafood tapas. Choose a tin by its sauce, ingredients and serving size rather than assuming every sardine product has the same nutritional profile.
Choose the style you want to eat
- Olive oil: serve with bread and a little lemon.
- Tomato sauce: try on toast or alongside rice.
- Spicy sunflower oil: use when you want a seasoned appetizer.
Read the nutrition label
Compare serving size, protein, sodium and the ingredients on the specific tin. Nutrient amounts vary by species, preparation and whether the bones are included. Canada's Food Guide includes sardines among options for fatty fish; this does not make every canned product interchangeable.
See Canada's Food Guide guidance on healthy fats.
Three simple serving ideas
Try sardines on toast with avocado and lime, flake them into a tomato salad, or serve them from the tin with breadsticks and olives. Refrigerate leftovers promptly and follow the package instructions.
