Sardines in olive oil
These sardines in olive oil are caught by dedicated fishermen in Cornwall. The adventure begins when night falls, as this is when the fishermen sail up Mount's Bay in small boats in search of the tastiest Pilchard sardines. Sardines with olive oil are perfect for salads, on toast, or straight from the can!
David Pascoe's family has been fishing sardines for generations and he himself has been fishing for nearly 20 years! “My father fished, my uncle fished. I enjoyed playing around the harbor and learning the trade. The rest is history!”
If you are pregnant, it is safer to avoid sardines. A small amount once, for example on toast, will not immediately be harmful, but as a precaution, it is better not to consume them. This is due to the (small) amounts of harmful substances that can be present in sardines.
Our sardines are true all-rounders! You can eat them straight from the can – ideal for a quick, delicious snack. Whether you choose sardines in olive oil, with chili, lemon or spicy tomato sauce, they are all delicious on a cracker or just as they are.
Do you want to incorporate them into a dish? Of course you can! Canned sardines are perfect for salads, pasta, sandwiches or even stews. For more inspiration, you can check out our recipes on the recipe page.
Sardines are small powerhouses from the sea! As a fatty fish, they are packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA, which your body cannot produce on its own. These essential fatty acids support your brain function and keep your cardiovascular system in top condition.
But there's more: sardines also contain more calcium, iron, and vitamin B12 than many other fish species. Perfect for pescetarians or anyone looking for a healthy boost. And did you know that the olive oil our sardines are preserved in is rich in unsaturated fats and vitamin E? Together, they make our sardines not only a tasty but also a super healthy addition to any meal!
