Get ready to celebrate National Sardines Day on Nov. 24! This day has been around since the late 1950s, when it was created by the British Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries to encourage people to eat more fish. Since then, sardines have become a popular snack worldwide due to their affordability and nutritional value. They can be eaten whole or in fillets, canned or fresh, grilled or fried - so there's something for everyone!
Bake sardines with some olive oil, fresh herbs, and lemon slices for a delicious and easy way to celebrate National Sardines Day.
If you're near the coast, head out for a day of fishing for sardines and other fish. You can also find frozen sardines at your local grocery store if you don't have access to fresh ones.
Toast up some tortillas and fill them with canned or grilled sardines, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice for a tasty taco dinner.
Invite your friends over for a fun National Sardine Day celebration featuring sardine appetizers, snacks, and dishes from around the Mediterranean region.
Grab some construction paper, scissors, glue sticks and paint to create a fun art project featuring sardines. Try making your own collage full of colorful sardines.
Sardines are incredibly rich in nutrients like Vitamin B12, selenium, Omega 3 fatty acids and calcium. Eating just a few sardines each day can provide you with the essential micronutrients necessary to maintain overall good health.
When it comes to sustainable seafood options, sardines are a great choice. Not only do sardines have a relatively low environmental impact, but they're also abundant in certain parts of the world, making them a renewable source of protein as well!
Sardines can be eaten whole or used in recipes like casseroles and fishcakes. They have a naturally savory flavor that pairs well with different ingredients - from salads to sandwiches to warming soups. Plus, since they're canned, they make for an easy meal on busy weeknights!
