Sardines

Small, oily schooling fish (*Sardina pilchardus* and related species) prized for their rich flavor, exceptional omega-3 content, and unmatched sustainability — they reproduce quickly and sit low on the food chain. Fresh sardines are a Mediterranean staple grilled with lemon and olive oil; tinned sardines (in olive oil, tomato, or piri-piri) are a pantry superfood. Edible bones add calcium. A genuine case of 'eat more seafood, eat lower on the food chain.'
