Healthy Sardine Recipes

One fish that you should be eating (and probably are not) is the humble sardine.

Sardines (Pacific, wild-caught) are one of the healthiest foods we can consume, according to health and environmental experts. These nutritional powerhouses are one of the best sources of omega-3 fats, with a whopping 1,950 mg/per 3 oz. (that’s more per serving than salmon, tuna or just about any other food) and they’re packed with vitamin D. If you’re trying sardines for the first time, or you just really want to learn to like them, here are a few recipes to stoke your sardine love.

Another benefit: because sardines are small and low on the food chain, they don’t harbor as many toxins as bigger fish can. Plus, they’re also one of the most sustainable fish around. Quick to reproduce, Pacific sardines have rebounded from both overfishing and a natural collapse in the 1940's, so much so that they are one of Seafood Watch’s “Super Green” sustainable choices. Try them in these delicious healthy sardine recipes. Get more tips to enjoy sardines here.
