Today day is November 24 Sardines Day observed every year. Sardines are a popular food regularly consumed by millions of people.
Sardines are a nutrient-rich fish widely consumed by humans. They are commonly served in cans, but fresh sardines are often grilled, pickled, or smoked.
Sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and a good source of vitamin D, calcium, B12, iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium and protein. Sardines, or pilchards, are several types of small, oily fish related to herrings, family Clupeid. The term sardine was first used in English during the early 15th century, and may come from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, around which sardines were once abundant.
Sardines are typically sold canned. Before being canned, sardines are washed, beheaded, and cooked by steam-cooking or deep-frying. Then the fish are dried. They can be packed either in olive, soybean, or sunflower oil, water, or a tomato, mustard or chili sauce.
Today we celebrate this dish with our family and friends.
