I love them, but due to health concerns I have become a big label reader. Sadly, many of the sardines on the market are "product of China" I will not buy any food from there.
I love Sardines especially Port Clyde . My relatives in Maine who worked there would send us a boxes for Xmas.
My favorites used to be in mustard, but I figured the processors were only going to use the least expensive bulk mustard. I don't eat them as often as when I was younger, so now only buy King Oscars in extra virgin olive oil. I always eat them with one of several different blends of mustard/horseradish I use on other dishes. Once a month, or so, I treat myself to King Oscar kippers. Yum, Yum!! I tell my girl friend to stop frowning or I will have a large, double anchovy pizza delivered! I've got tomorrow covered too!
Screw all that nonsense. We eat them cause dey taste good!Sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, but very low in mercury. So, it is a food that those who like fish should eat frequently. They tend to also be cheap. Get them in olive oil.
Omega-3 fatty acids balance omega-6 fatty acids, which can cause inflammation and arthritis. So you are countering arthritis and also hardening of the arteries by eating sardines.
Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids help prevent heart disease due to their anti-inflammatory properties. Sardines are an excellent source of them.
Calcium
Sardines are an excellent source of calcium. That makes them a good choice for those who are lactose intolerant, allergic to dairy, or need more calcium in their diet.
Vitamins
Sardines are an excellent source of vitamin B-12. This vitamin helps your cardiovascular system and gives you energy.
Minerals
Along with calcium and lots of vitamins, sardines contain a number of beneficial minerals. These include:
niacin
iron
potassium
magnesium
zinc
phosphorus
Protein
Sardines also have protein, which is essential for you to build healthy bones and muscles. Protein also helps create antibodies that keep our immune systems strong. As well, it takes nutrients and oxygen to all the parts of the body.
You and Angus would have gotten along fine. He LOVED kitty McNuggets. Gawd I miss that dog!I would eat sardines with the same amount of gusto as eating the scoopings of the cat's litter box.
Nope nope nope.
are Port Clyde sardines still available? I havent seen them for twenty years. They were one of my favorites
I remember fondly the Gillette Cavalcade of Sports, Friday night fights. My Dad would enjoy his sardines, saltine crackers and PBR. Rocky Marciano and Sugar Ray Robinson were his favorites. I had RC Cola and sardines.
My old man liked them too, but he claimed they would put hair on the other end. In Mustad sauce is only way I buy them. We always had a can of sardines and a paper of soda crackers for fast snack hunting & fishing. You don’t see the new generation eating sardines. I guess if they made them with glaze or chocolate they might sell.My pappy loved mustard sardine sandwiches. Said they would put hair on your chest. I prefer the tinned smoked baby oysters.

Dad's best friend would come over to watch the Friday Night Fights. A block of Limburger cheese, Dusseldorf mustard, Vidalia onion, dark rye and Hudepohl beer.
Mom stayed upstairs.
